Why the South Sucks

Introduction

I can appreciate that the South has its good points- like college football and... ummm... college football.

In no particular order:

1
 

The Accent

 
It's not cute. It makes one sound stupid and invokes thoughts of all the things on this list.
2
 

Sweet Tea

 
It's not the nectar of the gods- it's tea with far too much sugar in it.
3
 

Nascar

 
Sure it's watched elsewhere. But the South takes it to a new level. I just don't get it. They're driving in circles. Sure they're going fast, but they're driving in circles.
4
 

Boiled Peanuts

 
It's a wet peanut. It's not some novel delicacy. It's a wet, soggy peanut.
5
 

Racism

 
Still completely acceptable in the South. I know people will fight me on this but the quantity of people still flying the confederate flag is terrifying.
6
 

Mississippi

 
It's just so horrible on so many levels.
7
 

Grits

 
Can't I just get a waffle or some eggs without that sandy mush spilling all over my plate? And much like boiled peanuts and sweet tea, it's defended to the death as fine dining.
8
 

Pickup Trucks

 
They're everywhere. What is everyone transporting?
9
 

The Bumper Stickers

 
Generally found on a pickup. My favorites are:

1. 8 (a Nascar reference of some sort)
2. The confederate flag with the words "fighting terror since 1863"
3. W
4. Calvin peeing on the Ford symbol or Chevy symbol
5. Git-r-done
10
 

Fake Nice

 
You know it as "southern hospitality" but southern hospitality doesn't exist. Everyone is just being sickly sweet to your face- the minute you leave they are talking about you, stealing your parking space, not letting you into traffic, cutting in line- you get the idea.

I wish they would have won the Civil War and been their own toothless, uneducated, inbred country.

The Church Burners and the Southern Baptists should have some sort of Holy Crusade and fight to the death.

You live in Boston, this is perceived as one of the most racist cities in the country and you complain about racism in the South. Sounds more like Brahmin snottiness to me. You should have added humidity to your list.
