...of u from Washington, D.C. & those not....i have a question...
what region of the U.S. do u consider DC as being apart of??
the reason i ask is because I've always considered it as part of the East Coast...or MAYBE even "Up North"...but i wuz talkin' w/ Qua the other day & he damn near got OFFENDED when i referred 2 that city as being "Up North"..he wuz like THAT'Z THA SOUTH...THA PEOPLE THERE R COUNTRY...etc. etc. etc. (he's from New Jersey, lol)
THEN...my Afro-American History professor this morning was talking about something that happened in DC like a half-century ago...& referred to DC as "one of the Southern cities at that time..." yadda yadda yadda...
so i was just like...hmmmmmmmm is it really the South???
whether u feel it is The South or not....which states of the U.S. do you consider are "the South"?? sometimes I question NC's place in this country as well...i don't know if it's The South...and it is technically the most Eastern state of the U.S...but for the most part, it just seems to be....there :?
& what do you consider "Up North"? is that the same thing as "East Coast" to u? If not, what do u consider as "the East Coast"?
& if u want...what do u consider "West Coast" (u BETTA say Cali, for one 
!!).....& the "Midwest"????

I mean when we ate @ the Shoney's in Alexandria...those grits were BUSSINNNNNNNN they were cooked JUST RIGHT...and I mean I just put my own salt...butter or whatever in it.....

I think of TEAAAAAAA and how they have UNSWEETENED tea...and not SWEET tea.......**** if I want unsweetened tea I'd rather just have some BLACK coffee

When I came to school (in Louisiana) and started doing that people looked at me like I was crazy! I think my momma put sugar in them to make us eat 'em when we were little but my big bro and I never stopped! Man I LOVE me some sugar grits!!! Anyways, back on topic.. :arrow: DC IS NOT THE SOUTH!!!! My homegirl is from PG county and she's always talkin about she's from the south and we had to politely correct her ****. Just cuz you're loud and country as ****doesn't mean you're from the south..HMPH! She always says "we're below the Mason-Dixon line so we're in the south" but there is nothing about PG county or DC that makes me think "ahh, I love the south." Honestly, I didn't like DC the three times I went up there in the past two years, so HELL NAWL, DC ain't the south! :xP o e t i q R e i g n wrote:c...4 yearz...being from Cali...i was and still am SO used to SUGAR & butter being MIXED into the grits while it's being MADE....i had 2 go up & get like 10 packs of sugar...& i wuz the ONLY person there doing that...i wuz like..ya'll r some weirdoz, lol
