Look at a map, and it's obvious...

Black people in LA, Seattle, Denver, don't have the same history.

Are white people that ignorant of the Great Migration? You guys don't learn anything about the history of Black people in America unless you take a "Black History" class? Which I presume none of you took?
Yes, an obvious troll on City Data is a great representative of white people.

I've been hearing southern politicians and bible-thumping hypocrites my entire life talk about how the Civil War isn't over, and it's true - it is the northern states which continue to pay more than we get back into the federal kitty while local governments down south drain federal tax resources while fussing about their right to put Confederate flags and quasi-science into courthouses and schools respectively. They should consider themselves lucky we didn't let them secede in the first place.
" . . . AND THEREFORE, CHICAGO IS NOT COUNTRY!"

im not saying yall sit on porches, playing banjos with toothpicks in yall mouths,but i stayed in Chicago for a while and while there plus every time i go back to visit they do sound quite a bit southern and maybe thats the word i should of been using instead of country and if so i apologize but seriously not just Chi but the whole midwest does have a lot of southern ways, were just exposed to a lot more variations of other cultures.

Ha! I say "y'all" too even though it grates endlessly on the nerves of my New Englander dad. Sorry, dudes, but "y'all" is the only acceptable way to pluralize "you." And don't give me any of this same-singular-as-plural crap, because I won't have it.

If you believe Chicaogans sound southern I must assume that you've never actually met a southerner.
