Nigerian Brian Orakpo who's straight out of Houston is a great example. He used to kill QB's with the Texas Longhorns, man I miss him at UT. Now he's around other Nigerians in DC with the Redskins with fellow Texan RGIII(who used to burn the Longhorns at Baylor):

Lil O, Nigerian rapper from Houston is another great example. Remember him from the SUC era? This is an old school joint from Lil O featuring Destiny's Child when they were a little known girl group still living in H-Town:

People define Southerness based on the predominant culture of the White population of that area. Interesting.

Never heard a Southern accent in Miami, hear them all the time in Dallas. Dallas is part of the Bible Belt, Miami is not. Pretty easy choice, Miami is much less Southern.

Well you should listen to Trick Daddy or Trina. Both have a heavy southern drawl. The black american locals are very southern.

Black people don't exist in Miami according to C-D.

Salt Lake City is not part of the Bible belt, but you'd be hard pressed to believe that religion isn't big there. Blacks in Miami are not that much different than Blacks in the rest of the South. Church is big in South Florida.
