Modern times are here and nobody needs any additional apologies. People need to move on. Get over it.
Those 'slaves' now have the most jobs and income....football stars and television hosts....every opportunity and then some that everyone else has. Slavery is a thing of the past. Shut up!
It's been 100% total equality for ages....only now the white Americans are the minority and getting screwed.
I'll be damned if I can figure why this website allows what they do to exist in a "weather" forum.
Look at the 'happy' and the 'unhappy' threads. Nothing but garbage, heavily laced with childish profanity. Reporting it does *nothing*.
Wow, racist much...
If the forum annoys you so much then stop coming on it

Whew, all this black privilege is making me feel guilty.
I mean whites get pulled over by cops for DWW (driving while white). Names like Hunter, Cody and Zack prevent you from getting jobs because people assume you're less intelligent. Whites that have the same criminal record and commit the same crimes as blacks are far more likely to go to jail and serve more time for said crimes. Whites are the poster children for affirmative action, even though black women are the biggest beneficiaries. Whites are told to get over the past, but blacks will be the first to pull the reverse racism card.
Blacks are quick to pull the "Asians don't complain and are successful" card, yet these same Asians (if the stereotypes were true) earn less than blacks and the blacks are disproportionately well represented in corporate boardrooms. In other words, the model minority Asians, that out-achieve blacks still trail behind blacks.
None of this makes any sense unless you switch each "black" reference with "white" and each "white" reference with "black."
If Texas is included in "the South," the differences with Europe become more pronounced. Desert, swamp, prairie and steppe-like conditions exist here. Tornadoes, hurricanes, flash flooding, extreme drought, ice, heavy snow (in the panhandle), extreme heat in the West and high humidity in the East...fun, but not exactly a tropical paradise.
They go below freezing on average 2-3 times per year, There is a reason that they are zone 9b.
Urban Orlando has a nice heat island effect...2-3 degrees warmer than the suburbs. Lots of tender stuff growing there...trending more towards zone 10a.
This is just one of MANY beautiful beaches that you can see in Texas, and the rest of the states in the South (Texas, though, is not always considered Southern), hence why the South is subtropical paradise; and the region has the peaceful, stable subtropical weather to boot, as well. Lots of thunderstorms occur in the South, but they are not often severe(this especially applies for areas close to the coast).
Alot of people are under the delusion that the South gets colder winter extremes than any other subtropical climate, but that premise is quite false; if that were true, then the South's native vegetation would be extremely hardy compared to other subtropical locations, but that is clearly not the case.
Nice to see the Zip-a-dee-doo-dah vid, thanks for that bit of fun. Sadly though, the inaccurate Disney portrayal belies the reality of the life of such folk of African descent living in the south in that era, which was 18 hours a day of slave labour, daily beatings and near starvation, under that searing 95 degree heat.

As the south gets ravaged by tornadoes this week...

But, hold on. I thought the South had tender, delicate, fragile ecosystems which are very sensitive to cold, and thus, North America needs weather modification to keep the South warm. But, here, now you are saying temps are stable, ergo it's always warm and the "tender, delicate, fragile" plants can survive extremely well.
If you read my post properly you'd know that I said only the DEEPEST part of the SOUTH is truly tropical or subtropical (comparable to Hervey Bay and most of QLD), where it rarely goes near freezing, akin to Australia's similar latitude areas.
All of the southeastern US is subtropical.
"Subtropical" doesn't mean "almost tropical." It means "everything between temperate and tropical." Which is a huge range.
