I live in Canada and we get this reputation for being polite and nice and stuff, while yes a Canadian will hold a door for you or say sorry if he bump into you we are not polite like Patriots from the Southern States.
I work for an American company and so we get all of our stuff shipped from America, the drivers from Tennessee are so polite and just a joy to interact with. Im 24 and an old Southern man called me sir asking how much trouble it would be to use the bathroom, he said please and thank you, and then cleaned a bunch trash in the yard I was avoiding while unloading his truck. The second truck had a younger man who complimented me on my driving skills and was extremely polite asking me about what he needed to do. Its always like this without fail, they treat me like they are a guest in my home and its just amazing. One man even brought a little sewed prayer thing for the office lady when she got cancer, said his entire family preyed for her to get better. Its just crazy to me how polite and giving those guys are.
America is an amazing country with some really great people. All my lie I thought American Southerners were stupid racists because ya'll are made fun of so much in all culture. It honestly really makes sense because you guys are some of the best people on Earth. One day I will move to Texas and become a citizen. Thank You Patriots for keeping America Great.
Yep, you have a winner there with that realtor... never live downwind of a chicken or a pig farm. And on the subject of Southerners, us Southrons pride ourselves on fearing the Almighty God, on being Brothers and Sisters in The Body of Christ, and being polite - following the Golden Rule.
Now, having said that ( and being a Seventh generation Southron with direct ancestors who wore the Gray and marched under The Stainless Banner ), do not, under any circumstances, mistake us for the ignorant racists the Left makes us out to be.
Black people and White people get along just fine as long as the leftist agitators stay away. My church used to be all-White but in the 1970's a couple of Vietnam vets brought their oriental wives to the Altar. A few meetings of us Elders took place and we invited the Black Pastor of the African Baptist Congregation to stand at the pulpit and expound upon The Body of Christ. Our pastor did the same for his congregation, that's become a tradition.
Now, some 40 years later, we still have two churches and congregations, but a mix of Whites, Blacks, Asians and Latinos. And the after-service gatherings with food and drink ( non-alcoholic of course since we have the moonshine back home in the barn), became and still are an "Agápe".
We live in a small town of about 3,500 people Black, White and Latino farm workers. Peaceful and happy. Our sheriff is Black, BTW, elected in a landslide.
Finally, we ALL own "guns" so word to the wise, Leftist agitators do not fuck with us.
You've described my small town to a tee. Can't beat southern hospitality...but please don't underestimate our courage, drive, or determination. Well said, fren.
