Dream on! The South will never change despite the influx of da*& yanks moving here. Hopefully that will be realized and they will all move back.

Last in everything? I think not. Business? We are thriving just fine - how about where you live? I wish others would stop trying to drag the South down and just stay where they are.

The South is thriving because of all the people moving there. This isn't that hard to understand.

The South was stagnant for 130 years. When Northerners (which you define as everyone not from the 12 CSA states---people tend to discount Florida) began moving there with their capital, the South rebounded.

Well, first lett me ask YOU a question....are you trying to imply that I am racisit? If so - WRONG ANSWER. In speaking for myself, I do not care what a person's skin color or ethnic background is. I only care what type of person you are. If we have something in common to hang out and laugh about even better.

Another question - are you also implying that minorities would not be allowed because you want to condemn the South as being racist? If so, that is such a loser attitude for you and I will have to give a big yawn and be done responding to you.

Yes. They are changing......for the worse. And the only "progress" I've seen out of yall is to progressively make a place unliveable.

Please stop drinking your kool-aide or whatever you are drinking.

The South has been thriving for a long time while the Northern states have been run into the ground by Unions and a host of other things.

The only thing making the South 'fail' is all the yanks moving here!

You're right. Take a look at this map.

Is NYC some kind of cage? You act as if you've never been outside of it. And trust me, when it comes to race relations, the south is much more open with it than the behind-your-back north.

The south wouldn't have been stagnant if the north didn't destroy it. But since the south is so EVIL I wonder why alot of yanks must be escaping the north for a reason.
