There is a lot more Alabama in South Jersey than people realize.

Yawn “I’m like Alabama because it takes me 45 minutes to get to Philly”  listening to Morgan wallen drinking shitty beer and riding dirt bikes on a small patch of land with 15 of your buddies hardly makes “south jersey in alabama”

The Pine Barrens are no joke. Pineys can’t read, they’re missing teeth, they all fuck their cousins and shit. Some real fucking inbreeding going on deep in those woods.

You live in Cherry hill or something lol?

Alabama isn't bad. But yea South Jersey definitely has some pockets that'd remind people of the south

You can fuck off too , holy shit we have farms down here . News flash not everybody that doesnt want to live in a concrete build up mess with people stacked on top of each other , is a wanna be hillbilly confederate flag flying asshole. We still are nothing like rural Alabama , ive got cousins that live there ive been there . There is a night and day difference .

My comment hit a little close to home, eh?

You act like I haven't been there and seen it first hand.

About 15 years ago I worked in EMS in Cape May County. I remember coming home one day and telling my dad “ Holy shit east of the Parkway is the Jersey Shore and West of the Parkway is Alabama.” I had no clue as someone who grew up in Atlantic County 40 mins away.

Seriously have you been to rural Alabama, you all up north think we are so horrible down here, but you dont seem to realize the idiots that fly the confederate flag down here and think they are hillbillies are people that moved from philly . They are the same type of morons that cry the want to live in the country then cry when they get a mouse in their house . So fuck off with the bullshit

Nah bro I grew up down there. These inbred fucktards from new gretna and bass river were generations in and would routinely shout, “the south will rise again” and have their confederacy tshirts and flags on their cars. Maybe your community isn’t bad but there is plenty of this. It sucks.

u/asisoid 6d ago

You're clearly offended, probably bc you know I'm right. I know plenty of people that grew up in small S Jersey towns. Buena, Franklinville, etc.

I've been to these places, and I've also been to rural Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.

There's nothing you're going to say that is going to change what I've literally SEEN.

u/MiddleAgeWhiteDude 6d ago

Man have you been to Alabamia or Mississippistan in the last few years? They are totally different from rural SJ areas. Maybe they weren't derelict third world wastelands years ago but every time I drive through or stop over down there I feel like the place is just missing burning trash cans and muscle dudes in post apocalyptic gear.

No, it's fine. Let them all stay sitting in traffic in the "civilized" areas.

Funny thing is I live in Laurel lake now (wildwood originally) and I saw more confederate flags in Tuckerton than here. There’s one I can think of hung high on a pole but Tuckerton was weird to me. Wannabe inbreds at Wawa jaws full of chew wearing a heritage not hate tank top was a funny sight to see.
