Once again, doesn’t matter.
It’s considered by modern Americans (once again, you may not apply to that category) as part of the south.
Once again, educate yourself:
And, once again, please stop being continuously and desperately delusional, m’kay sugar-nookems?
Projecting your emotions now?
Projecting your emotons now?
You’re so upset you ironically can’t even spell “emotions” properly.
I don’t have any SNL skits to cite but perhaps a PBS documentary will suffice.
You should look at your own documentary you linked to. It places most of the blame on the south, not the north. You are proving yourself to be more and more delusional as the thread goes on.
…but apparently cherry picking and taking things out of context work just fine.
Talk about projection. Are you really this non-self-aware and dense? I’ll just give you benefit of the doubt at this point that your just being purposefully obtuse. I give you 5/10 trolley (maybe even 5.5/10)
Really? The fine folks at the USDA Forest Service live in the past?

If you can’t argue facts just resort to ad hominem attacks and grammar-Nazi to your heart’s content. I’ll give you a 9.5!
West Virginia was absolutely not in the South when I lived there, during the 20th century. It has its own mountain culture which is much closer to that of Pennsylvania than that of Virginia. Today I live east of the Mason-Dixon line, but I have honestly never heard anyone call West Virginians “Southerners” in my lifetime. They are usually called “hillbillies” when a Yankee is looking for insults.
Also, by far the most racist city I have ever encountered in my life is Philadelphia, PA. I have spent a great deal of time there (including working in center city for five years) so I’m not speaking based on a few brief visits.

Hahah… you’re really not very bright, are you?
You showed a geographical map of their service region, not a geopolitical map.
Notice where the “Eastern Region” and “Northern Region” is below?
Your inane desperation is showing again.

Sorry, but it’s not up to you to anecdotally declare where it is. There’s this thing called modern, general consensus (also known as greater reality). We heathens also use it with things like climate change, etc.
The Census Bureau and the Association of American Geographers classify West Virginia as part of the South.
Please, get real. You guys are being ridiculous. If your point is to prove you’re obtuse and uneducated, then good going.
Also, by far the most racist city I have ever encountered in my life is Philadelphia, PA.
Once again, your anecdotal experience means little or nothing in the face of greater reality.
No one is denying racism is a problem throughout the entire USA, but your anecdotal, false equivalencies don’t change the reality of the greater problems (overall) in the south.
Your argument makes Delaware and Maryland “Southern” States. Again, context is everything here.(and I’m desperate?!) LOL
I’m desperate?!)LOL
Hey, what happened to your USDA Forest Service map?

Desperate? Yep. And now I’m actually starting to think you’re becoming unhinged as well.
The Census Bureau and the Association of American Geographers classify West Virginia as part of the South. If you have a problem with it, take it up with them.
You’re now reduced to the ravings of a defeated man.
Haven’t I beaten you up enough today, already? You sure are a glutton for punishment.
You’ve beaten something alright. The above map means nothing in the context of the north and the south. Which (I shouldn’t have to tell you) is what we’ve been talking about.
Did someone shit in your wheaties this morning or what? You’re throwing one of your tantrums.

Facts trump your anecdotal experience. Deal with it. Cope.
Too bad your posts lack any.
Maryland is a Southern state, despite their regional accents. It’s south of the Mason-Dixon line and only Lincoln’s blatantly illegal actions prevented it from seceding during the Civil War. All my many Maryland friends consider themselves Southerners and say so.
Delaware is neither. The Mason-Dixon line goes around the state - we are to the east of the line - and Delaware supplied troops to both sides of the civil war. It was the home of murderous slaver Patty Cannon as well as a stop on the underground railroad. The rest of y’all are Crackers and Yankees, but we Delawareans (for our sins) are just Delawareans. Not that this is a really great accolade or anything, being wishy-washy in the middle’s not particularly admirable.
Your posts are more vitriolic than informative, I’m afraid.
And don’t worry about me coping, I am more amused than perturbed. The dragging in of global warming was cute. Can you work in something about Apple?
Your posts are more anecdotal than informative, I’m afraid. Once again, facts and greater reality trump your trite, anecdotal statements. Deal with it.

Let me know how that goes.
Your cherrypicked data point says SOUTHEASTERN which is not a synonym for SOUTHERN (see how it’s spelled differently?) but I am sure if you try real hard you can find a dozen other references more favorable to your own pre-existing conclusions.
I find it excruciatingly funny that what the people of West Virginia believe is less important to you than what you’ve decided is somehow a point worth beating slickhead with. As I said, you’re throwing a tantrum - apparently because you hate the South or something? Why all the raving?
Hey guys, [civil war historical maps][1]. Also [this][2] makes a pretty good argument that West Virginia started the war as a Union occupied, confederate territory and ended the war as a Union state. So you are both right… or both wrong… and I’m right… happy dance
Carry on…

But wasn’t West Virginia just part of Virginia until it became a Northern state?
