People have said that although these two cities aren't "southern", the black people are. But which city has a stronger southern influence amongst its black residents? I know many would say that southern and country aren't the same thing but to me it somewhat is because all southern people to me are country no matter what city they live in but in the northeast, west, and midwest its just simply "country".

How? Atlanta, GA and Tupelo, MS are both just as country to me. However this is just my own personal opinion and not a fact. Southern major cities just don't come off as "city-slicker" to me. When I think of the city I think of NYC, Philly, Boston, Baltimore, DC, Chicago, San Fran, LA, Seattle. Houston, Dallas, ATL, NoLa, Memphis, Jacksonville, Tampa, Baton Rogue, Birmingham, Richmond, etc just all come off as extremely country to me. The way of life, the accents, the mindset, the way people dress, the way people walk, the spread out built environment, etc just screams country to me and I just don't see the different between living in a southern major city and the rural south. Some will argue that this statement is incorrect because a city like ATL welcomes gays, blacks, leans liberal, and so much and so forth but that doesn't mean that ATL isn't still "country".
Hell even living in cities like Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Reading, etc just different than living in rural parts of PA and NY.

This wins for the most IGNORANT post of the year, congratulations.
Don't listen to this Lame. He just have a big chip on his shoulder because DC doesn't might his "expectations" of being a "real city" like New York or whateva Disgraceful. Plus, he lives up in Baltimore now so there goes another explanation. Don't know what's his beef with Chicago though Now, let him go on about his usual, sad tell-tale rants about DC's urban form and residents and PG County and blah blah blah This thread was "interesting" before the mods came in and delete it like his other blasphemous thread about "DC is Country" and crap. Goodbye nephew
