The deeply rural blacks, like from the delta.... the best way to describe them I can think if is to say that: They don't know they're black.
They aren't burdened by this dichotomy of Act White or Act Black. They aren't aware of the way their speech sounds OR the way it should sound. Beyond that they can run the gamut. Some are smart, others are dumber than rocks, some classy, some trashy. Of course all this goes to hell if they get bused in to town for school but many attend the local church school or otherwise drop out of education very early before it ruins them (isn't that a sad thing to say).
I was passing through Birmingham, Alabama, and I stopped at a gas station and there were three black guys just hanging out in the store. They legit sounded like the crows from Song of the South, but there were so polite and nice. Just gave me such a nice impression. Seemed like a good sort. But that's what it's like. Rural areas just promote a certain kind of purity it seems. Especially in the south where Southern culture is still around.

More blacks should take that to heart.
The loud barbarians from up north are so fragile and sensitive that they'll attempt burn a whole city down because a criminal gets shot but fail due to just stealing from black owned stores and passing out from drinking excessive amounts of malt liquor.
 
By the way, to clarify, I'm curious about Southern Blacks because they're a large chunk of the Black population, but nobody every talks about them. I assume that they would just be a palette swap of rednecks.



Well, I saw this thread where there was only one reply, and I posted "Second," since I was the second guy to reply.

Banned for a month.

Tough but fair.
I watch a YouTuber that's one, he's a good representation of them as he's chill as can be. Just listen to this video for a minute:

Whoa, I didn't know Crafsman was black! Is that why he wears the gloves?
 
I'd say that the type of person who's capable of moving great distances from their place of birth and making a decent life out of their new situation is generally going to lack a lot of those traits to begin with, so they're not necessarily representative.

Not true at all. Rednecks make Rednecktowns all over the US. Southern Ohio, for example, has a huge population of Appalachians who, like dirty Mexicans fording the Rio Grande, scurry back and forth across the Ohio River, over many generations, building families in both the North and South. Interestingly, Cincinnati ended up passing laws banning (no joke) discrimination against Appalachian-Americans.


Back in the day, the Appalachians (again like the Mexicans) also brought crime and social dysfunction with them, shitting up Cincinnati's suburbs until the Blacks moved in to show them how you really shit up a city.

Black people in Texas (at least in San An)
are the nicest people I've met via work.
They're just mindful and understanding of any inconvenience that may come up but of course we get the ghettos too.
(not sure If it counts but the foreign blacks from Ethiopia and shit are actually formal af) I've seen a Nigerian family and a normal American black family and the Nigerians were just pleasant and waiting for their turn wheras ameriniggas kids were hollering and running everywhere.

Austin, Dallas and Houston have the worst type of niggers. They're exactly the kind you'd expect from democrat states.

West African immigrants to the US (never dealt with Ethiopians) are the master race.
 
they hunt and fish, and they drive trucks. They also work and usually aren't on welfare
 
I was going to say that deep southern blacks are the fucking worst, but it occurs to me that I haven't dealt with rural ones. I'm not a fan of southerners in general.

Brirmingham isn't rural you retard.
 
Some of the dumbest fucking black folks I ever met were in the cities and rural areas of South Carolina, like 50% seem damn near retarded. They also were doing bad mimicking of gang bangers in bigger cities, like an inferiority or identity complex.

Actual rural black folks, from some smaller towns in Appalachia and the south - chill as fuck and cool.

Right before Anthony Bourdian died he visited a small town called Logan, WV. A rural town with lots of white rednecks and black folks. He was surprised to find how well everyone got along, even lots of inter-racial couples.

Many generations back when the local miners fought to unionize in the area blacks were brought in as “scabs” They soon realized what they were being used to do, so they joined up with the white guys and Italian immigrants in the union. It made race relations in these areas a hell of a lot better than in most places.

A great movie called Matewan was made about the strike that joined old scot-Irish hillbillies, Italian immigrants and black guys together in a common cause. Stuff like this, and the shared poverty of both whites and blacks in rural areas, engendered much better relations than you have in many places. They have lots in common with each other, far more than their white or black counter parts in the cities.
 
I grew up around a lot of rich southern black people and generally speaking they were always very nice and never brought up any issue of race. I've always considered it to be a cultural difference based in ones wealth and upbringing.

"I was passing through Birmingham"
"Rural areas"

Southern black folks are good church going people. Some on drugs but others have grandmas who are high up apostles in their AME churches that’ll whoop their asses if they do stupid gang shit.

Don’t cause any problems down here or you’ll pay for it.
 
Most I can really weigh in on this was a few friends of mine were traveling through the rural south and stopped off at a convienience store for gas and snacks. Evidently when they walked in, there were a bunch of black southerners inside and one looked up and honestly said "Oh my god, white people." in surprise. It wasn't a hostile thing, they just gabbed a bit with the locals, did their business and left, but it gave everyone involved the impression that the black and white communities must really keep to themselves in those areas. Might have just been the particular state they were traveling through though.

Personally I used to live in a more ethnic area and usually the average ethnic person originating from the south was indistinguishable from your average white southerner so they seem to be reasonably assimilated in some parts.
 
He means it wasn't, like, Atlanta or Memphis. A lot of the south outside of the metropolises have the whole southern hospitality vibe.

Yeah, Charleston and Savannah aren't rural at all but still have the same core values as places nearby with populations in the 4 digit range

Its a point of contention to some extent and maybe a bit off-topic, but in the North we distinguish between Rednecks who are merely loud-and-proud conservatives and Hillbillies who are the real shitfest, toothless, moonshine-distilled-through-a-junked-car-engine swilling illiterate scumbags that smell like sheepshit despite owning no farm animals. Appalachia is most well-known for this but you can find their contingents scattered across Pennsylvania, Upstate New York and rural New England. Usually they identify as libertarians if they can even pronunce a word with more than two syllables.
 
By the way, alot of older southern black males are vets. They served their country and didn’t riot, gang crap, or impregnate 20 women or sell drugs. Actually in my small town, we have very rich and famous older black folk, Coach Willy who taught Shannon and Sterling Sharpe. Ask them, they’ll tell you.

Very good role models.

Sure it's not a big city, but both Montgomery and Birmingham are definitely not rural (nor are most of the cities/towns along the interstates for that matter.)
 
Most of them are good people; just blue-collar people that go to church on Sunday, love a good meal with family, drink cold beer, and know the value of a good dog and a reliable truck. Basically, rednecks with a dark finish.

And most of them hate the fuck out of 'hood niggers'.
