God’s Blog – 8-31-2010

Wow, very hateful speech. And speaking as a NATIVE AMERICAN myself (yes, 1/4th Cherokee), and also born in this country, nothing could be more cliched and inaccurate as what you just described. And I thought the liberal movement was about acceptance and tolerance. But no. And labeling people as obese white walmart shoppers. How clever of you. So much irony in this.

Mid-Atlantic Trip Part 5: Charlottesville

I love the pictures, though. You captured Charlottesville so well. Even though Charlottesville is not Northern Virginia, but part of the Central VA region.

Again, Im sorry that I went off like that. Its just that I can’t concur about the whole Mid-Atlantic thing. Im seriously not a troll. Listen, I really liked your pictures, though, and I’m so glad you enjoyed Virginia. I hope I didn’t ruin the Virginia experience for you. Peace!

I won’t post anything again, but please read my Virginia Blog to discover more about us. If you call us Mid-Atlantic, then that means we’re like NJ, which we ain’t!

I’m sorry if I offended you. I never ever said Virginia was the Deep South. But it is not Mid-Atlantic. Calling it that is a very bad misnomer, because it conjures up something contrary to what it is. Virginia is the Upper South, along with Kentucky and NC. The Mid-Atlantic states are NY, NJ, PA, and DE with parts of MD and West VA.

I realize some places try to classify VA as “Mid-Atlantic” but in a broader sense, it is wrong. Virginia is a Southeastern/South Atlantic state. For heaven’s sakes- we grow cotton and peanuts here. Does that sound like a “Mid-Atlantic” state to you? Its climate, history, culture, people, food, fit in with the South Atlantic Coastal Region of the USA. Maryland and DE can be Mid-Atlantic and Northern West VA. However, Virginia is a Southern state. You should do a chapter on the South Atlantic states- start with Washington DC and down to FL. Thats how it should be. Also look up VA and its in the “South” Census. Well, at least you didn’t call us a Northeastern state. Sorry for the rant!

It almost looks silly and ridiculous to include a fine old Southern state like “Virginia” in a Mid-Atlantic road trip. Baltimore, yes. But Virginia? My ancestors would be rolling in their graves. I don’t have a Mid-Atlantic accent, I have a pure Southern one. Thats because 12 generations of my ancestors lived here. Why not include South Carolina in the “Mid-Atlantic” while we’re at it. Really.

Very nice- but is Virginia really “Mid-Atlantic”, thats kind of a misnomer. When I think of Mid-Atlantic I think of New Yorkers and Cary Grant type speech. Virginia is a South Atlantic STATE- thats what we were taught in school. Virginia has more in common with GA than NY and NJ. How in the world could anyone call Virginia the North? I dont get it. Y’all.
