First Day

First day of class and already there was a pretty intense discussion. The topic of southern stereotypes is definitely a way to get a group of people to talk. Although there are very different view points everyone does agree that the people down south are completely different then those of us up here. Some common stereotypes that we discussed were that the southerners are dumb and very slow. Other students stated how they thought of certain states when they thought of the south. Some states included: Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, as well as many others. Other Stereotypes dealt with how blacks treat whites as well as other blacks. Southern blacks treat northern blacks with no respect according to what was said in class last week.
