Kentucky & whether or not Florida is truly southern

[URGatorBait]

So to basically summarize what y'all are saying, not all racists are racist. AmIright?

Apparently B52 thinks some of them are cool

Just the ones who ride eco friendly animals.

No, LA is the southern part of Florida. Everything geologically south of Ocala, except some of the Keys, are Yankee infested. I grew up in Pensacola. Red Level, Brewton, Florala, Pace and Jay are as southern as you can get.

And gave us Joe Scarborough

The Panhandle west of Tally is mostly rednecks and hillbillies, indistinguishable from Southern AL or Ga hillbillies.

Nonsense

Here's a fact for you: The Klan is current and active in all those coastal communities between Crystal River and Apalachicola.

And you know this how ... brother?

I was waiting for that question!!!

The short answer is I live very close to, and have offices in, a couple of those towns I mentioned. I didn’t know this until we moved to central Florida in 2009.

Absolutely world class fishing and amazing scalloping though.

I would also say a huge majority of the Ocala National Forest south of Palatka and west of Daytona is the same, if not worse. As those people are truly “off the grid”. But that’s only what I have been told. Basically the Salt Springs area. That’s probably B52’s second favorite town in Florida.

Favorite town in Florida is Chumuckla. Second favorite is Pace. The Big Bend area is my favorite area because it was a close drive while I matriculated at a nearby elite university. Cedar Crest was a go to place to impress my then future bride.

That was when…. Then 1920s? Trust me, it looks exactly the same.

Only B52 defends the Klan

Guarantee ferg and alky have fought that fight before as well.

Yes. I have met her and her family several times years ago. I believe her mother is from West Virginia, which would technically make her non-southern genetically, possibly even a yankee by the standards of some here. I figured you’d know her considering the Wildwood HS sports thread you started.

I knew her father fairly well as we hired him to do welding repairs on farm equipment in the 70's & 80's. Elizabeth was 11 years younger than I.

Good people. I actual knew them well.

This guy’s description of Texas is pretty damn funny. Sorry B52, he didnt point out the common KKK spots.

I'm looking to move to the Homassa - Yankeetown area. Been going there for 20+ years scalloping and visiting friends. Never seen any racial issues, but mostly stick to ourselves.

Being white might help.

On purpose?

On purpose?

Might be a step up from Trenton.

Plus we love the water and are tired of boat ramping it. Want a home on the water.
