I’d appreciate your consideration for a little nuance on this topic. Your Friday-night comment is a little too far. There are a lot of people, communities, and aspects of the Mountain State that are quite diverse and far different from the stereotypes reflected in such narrow commentary.
Honestly, I would expect better from you, and from others here. Heard it my whole life, and am a little sick of it. Criticize the jingoistic politics and all of that, the raping of the mountains for coal, sure, but don’t come across as a total bigot, ok? Maybe check out the politics of West Virginia prior to the 1970s? Note that during the Civil War, in defiance of Federal law, the people there seceded from Virginia in protest against that state’s devotion to human slavery, 1863.
