Somehow this isn’t parody.
The only worthwhile culture from the south was created by either by non-whites, or very poor whites who were sharing notes with black or Latino people. Stuff like blues music and rock and roll are southern, but they’re from black southern culture. Southern hip-hop is fun too. Niche genres like horrorcore and arguably vaporwave can be traced to it.
The south used to pump out some pretty ok white writers though. Flannery O’Connor, William Faulkner, even Tennessee Williams. I doubt any of them would want to be represented with a confederate flag though.
Y’all will notice that southern white culture took a dive once there were fewer whites who grew up poor or working class and continued identifying that way into adulthood.
The music that bluegrass grew out of was made by black Americans, which brings us back to:

there are like cajun people. But most of the white southern culture were slavelords larping as anglo-norman chevaliers.
cajun people for a long time were in that grey area of being almost white people but not quite, kind of like Italians and Irish were. In fact one of my friends from high school had his grandparents arrested in the 1950s under segregation laws because the wife was cajun and the husband was italian.
One of my ancestors was a cajun and was also arrested and thrown out of new orleans for violating some kind of segregation ordinance regarding gambling or something.
I guess cajun people are fully considered white now, but that wasn’t the case for a while, like a bunch of them got sold into slavery when England took over French Canada
Bookmarking this thread so I can come back later to read all the poor shaming masked as anti-southerner sentiment

Who’s “they?” The vast swath of the eastern seaboard defined by western european immigrants like the Italians and Irish, the “fugeddaboudit” and “BAHSTAHN” guys that everyone thinks of when they think of New England cities? The west coast people known for wine exports, distinctive music and film cultures, drug culture, etc?
Southern culture is now largely defined by hollow rhetoric and hypocrisy. They want to be rednecks with big trucks but they whine about how much they have to tip the food slave who brings their DoorDash order. They talk constantly about Christian values and then indulge in hedonistic lives and go out drinking alcohol to excess and fornicating (which the Bible explicitly says will bar you from entering Heaven )
There is a southern culture, but it doesn’t come from white people.
Quite literally, Christianity to them means that they ARE “The God”. Your best case scenario is that you are deemed “the help” by these inbreds and allowed to live so you can serve them. I hated them even when I was a libertarian because I saw them as the ultimate “welfare queens”, they want to takes from hardworking minorities, Jews, women, and LGBT people and essentially be taken care of by them while they ungratefully hurl insults at their so-called “inferiors”. They need us, but we don’t need them.
