Question

What is considered Culturally the South?

Would you consider Virginia the South? How about Texas and Oklahoma? What about Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia?
 
This thread just successfully outed many of the worst posters on CIS for those of us who haven't been around since forever. Thanks

I also consider shipping. Miami may be far south, but you're totally off base if you think its even a little bit Southern.

When I was growing up in Miami Beach in the 70’s and 80’s, I used to think that the kids from Kendall/South Miami were Southerners.

I just wasted 5 minutes checking in on this thread. There’s nothing new since page 3ish.
I’m out for tonight. Strolling into the casino Monte Carlo acting like I’m 007 and own that ****. Wish me luck on the craps table. Never mind, you know I’m slapping some rich dudes girl on the *** before I throw anyway. How about some Flowe updates for real?

Miami WAS more culturally a part of the South in the mid-20th century.

It was still segregated--the hotels, train stations, the public buses ( that I think we're privately owned.), schools.

When I was a kid the buses had a separate seating section in the back. There were no Black drivers. Then there was this big bus strike and the bus company hired a lot of replacement drivers. Some were Black. I think that totally integrated the bus system.

The Miami train station had separate Black and White waiting rooms.

UM had its first Black player in '67, I believe.

I think all of the segregation was because of a Southern cultural heritage. So, it was once more Southern, but maybe not like Deep South.

Some people called the city "Miamuh" which I think was the Southern influence. The city started to change rapidly in the '50's. By city I'm including Dade, generally.

There was a report that came out last year that talking about Dade County schools are some of the most segregated in the country.

Is that not southern enough for you?

I’m talking Yankees and Southerners.

Westbrook the b-ball player? I only follow college football. I’m not very well rounded

Oh I know. I figured since we're talking about things that are totally random and off topic, I'd throw that in there. But yes, the basketball player. Orlando should make the move.
 
It’s probably been said, but please please roll out the red carpet for Rohan Marley to be in attendance the entire weekend of Flowe’s official visit. Give them alone time so that Rohan can explain to Flowe what it exactly means and feels like to be a Cane and run through that smoke. Flowe loves Rohan Marley.
