Born and raised in Dayton Ohio of a deep appalachian heritage. I have adopted most of the linguistics from my Kentucky family. My brother on the other hand talks like a Buckeye. I am more intuned with my mountain heritage.
Even within Eastern Kentucky, you can pick up some differences within the counties. Perry Countians talk different than Johnson Countians. Also where you lived in the holler had alot to do with how you spoke. The farther up the holler you lived, the stronger the accent.
As far as racism, the most blatant racism I have witnessed would be tied with either Mississippi or Indiana.
I remember seeing signs in the trees in Indiana with little black cartoon characters with red lines through them. I didn't even see that in Mississippi.
As far as towns go, the north is way more segregated than the south. Up north rivers are usually the dividing lines between the races.
Look up sundown cities and you would find them mostly in the north.

I have shared my opinions on Bank of America before. I wouldn't advise anyone to do business with them.

Fried Chicken
by snowbird ini just copied this little nugget of information from real restaurant recipes.. southerners are the first to declare their fried chicken recipe as being the best, but southerners weren't the first to fry their chickens.
the scottish people who settled the early south apparently introduced fried chicken in the united states.
they liked their chicken fried rather than boiled or baked as was normal for the english in the northern states.

The best white cornmeal for cornbread is a brand from Kentucky called "dorsal's" or "dorsel's" I know that Martha White supported the Grand Old Opry and some people think that is the best, including my grandma, but my stepgrandma and my mom both use dorsels. I have tried to win grandma over though.

I prefer spicy cajun style fried chicken, like Popeyes or Bojangles.
I have even been known to eat a fried chicken sandwich with ketchup on it.
I also love vinegar and just about any pickled vegetable, but especially pickled corn.
I love my cornbread kentucky style, thin and greasy on the bottom, white meal of course, none of that yaller cake that some restaurants try to pass off as cornbread.
I love red beans and rice also. -
