The stain won't rub off though. Personally, I have been pretty fortunate. Virginia is a part of the South but I live in the bubble of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, where the vestiges of racism have faded even more than in the rest of the state.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280393662275397385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-67037506937092531382012-01-08T02:19:38.023-05:002012-01-08T02:19:38.023-05:00I knew the term dated back, I just meant that in p...I knew the term dated back, I just meant that in present day it defines something nicer. Granted, some people will feel the burn from a negative experience and won't be able to surpass that. Words, phrases and ideas change through time, though. Basically, something that was, isn't necessarily still so. And I get that it's what you think of, I just find it a little sad that the first thing that comes to mind is negative.D4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07917448737143816827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-27351138658559279232012-01-07T19:46:16.317-05:002012-01-07T19:46:16.317-05:00I also think of the Yeil Young song souther man!I also think of the Yeil Young song souther man!Berserculeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980762819283689198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-44927233369684291812012-01-07T19:41:13.430-05:002012-01-07T19:41:13.430-05:00@terminal-b: Well, you seem to be an asshole.

The term dates all the way back to pre-Abolition times. White gentlemen would courteously welcome white guests even while the slave black men toiled in the fields and some slave black woman brought out cool glasses of lemonade.<br /><br />I'll grant you I don't believe the sins of the father should be visited on the son, but I still think of this when I hear the term used today.<br /><br />@Heaven: Ha, who served the lemonade?<br /><br />@Bersercules: Ha, that didn't come to my mind, but it fits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280393662275397385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-51267507495703574752012-01-07T04:43:49.100-05:002012-01-07T04:43:49.100-05:00When I hear the term Southern Hospitality I always...When I hear the term Southern Hospitality I always think of the two hillbillies from Deleverence.

And I say this as someone who has experienced the painful psychological whip of prejudice. When I think southern hospitality I think of the people who treated me with more decency and respect when I visited the southern U.S. than the people from my own land. I won't put them together with their ancestors, or with the people who to this day are narrow minded enough to put the decent ones to shame.D4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07917448737143816827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-56693399643416409252012-01-06T21:24:35.678-05:002012-01-06T21:24:35.678-05:00yea really wtf is with that first commnetyea really wtf is with that first commnetBaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633670144338021501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-1099055144356074762012-01-06T21:04:03.342-05:002012-01-06T21:04:03.342-05:00What's your damage little boy?

Let's not forget that America is the land where all white men are created equal. Those were some very, very bad times, and I hope one day we can move past them. I'd like to say we have, but I doubt it.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118816573712396453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153253915126356120.post-68647531340526442842012-01-06T20:48:03.444-05:002012-01-06T20:48:03.444-05:00the image give me some lol'd xD +follow, follo...the image give me some lol'd xD +follow, followme ;)Lowladshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154296746722693160noreply@blogger.com
