Do you speak with a Southern accent?

Yes, I am southern. I speak with a milder southern accent, until I get on the phone with a southerner. Then it cranks into high gear.

Are you White or Black?

I'm white. I can tell you though, southern blacks do have southern accents. They are black southern accents, but they are southern all the same. How do I know? Because I live in Michigan and when I get a southern black on the phone, through a call center, I can tell right away they sound southern.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

No wonder you are so cool.

In the South since I was 20.

I don't have a southern accent.

I'm white.

My husband has a New Orleans accent. Make no mistake that is NOT a typical southern accent and it chaffes our hide when we see neworlenians portrayed in movies speaking with a southern drawl.

Born in Texas raised in NC so I have kind of a weird twangy texan accent because of my parents. I also worked right around Dothan in Eufaula (spelling?) at a radio station in Bama. I'm white obviously. Also I think the south isn't quite as racist as the north at least not in North Carolina.

It's true that southern Louisianans don't sound like North Georgians. I moved from Morgan City to Atlanta as a child and went into instant culture shock.

Living up north, I'd say you are correct. I meet people my age who are black and raised in the south when I was, during integration and they will tell you that they love the south and are treated better there.

New Orleans and Atlanta have an ongoing animosity based on football. Saints vs. Falcons.

Gaux Saints!!!

I'm white, from Alabama originally but haven't lived there in the last 30 years. I moved west when I was 16. Been here ever since. I don't think I have a southern accent. I probably won't be visiting Alabama much any more. All my family are witnesses there, and since I was disfellowshipped a few months back they want nothing to do with me. I'll miss them, but I'm not going back to the un-truth. seek2find
