      I read he was from Georgia and had another moment of, “man, why does my home state have to keep embarrassing me like this?”

        Seriously. I’ve seen to many people that avoid nice areas because of stupid shit like this. Country music is dog shit but people hear you live in Georgia and assume you’re a good ol boy

        Ooooh I have not heard this one before, I like it. I’ve used cowbro in the past but generally just go for bro-country. Gonna throw supermarket cowboy into the mix.

          Down voted because you don’t have solid reading comprehension skills here and not because you you’re pointing out that non-racists exist in the south.

          And getting upset and then whining about being the victim because you didn’t read the comment correctly, yeah, you’re definitely bringing some Reddit 2.0 vibes here with that.

            The post I responded to mentioned a city in Georgia and a long line of racist in the family but some people in bad families do use their brains occasionally and make better decisions, but y’all keep down voting lol

          He’s getting downvoted for misconstruing the intent of the original remark and jumping straight to the assumption of persecution, as are you. Assuming everyone is against you and whining about downvotes is possibly the most reddit thing ever.
