Southern culture is American culture

- In this episode, @TraeCrowderLiberalRedneck examines how "Southern culture" can be looked down upon and emulated at the same time.
The American South is a complicated place, and we know a lot less about it than we think we do. And many things about the South that seem to make no sense are less confounding in context. The reality is the history of many Southern things has been manipulated, hidden, or just plain ignored. Trae Crowder guides us through the pride points, failures, and contradictions in "Southin' Off."

That's a long list of things that came out of the South that isn't the creation museum related. I can appreciate that. Also, the musicianship in bluegrass is as world class as any genre, and better than most.
Isn't the creation museum in Missouri? Which, if my recollection of history serves, Missouri's status as "Southern" is debatable and was a pretty significant sticking point back in the day. So much so that it contributed to a bit of a kerfuffle that defined the South as we know it. Just saying, the South can not be held liable for any of the feckery that goes on in Missourah.
@@randomcdude4430 The Creation museum is in Petersburg, Kentucky and the Ark Encounter is in Williamstown, Kentucky. So I guess my beef is with Kentucky.
@VulcanLogic Ah, I stand corrected. My bad. I guess the south can be held liable for that feckery. Ah well dadgumit.
go a bit farther back into its history and you'll realize that Celtic music is pretty sweet :3
@@Echo81Rumple83 Being of Celtic stock myself, I do realize it.
Thrilled to see Flannery O'Connor here.
Read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "The Partridge Festival." You'll be glad you did.
The Big Mouth Billy Bass is forgivable. It served as a pretty good low-cost burglar alarm.
Wow, with that and the t-shirt cannon, you got yourself a down home defense system.
@@ToniGlickI forgot about both of those inventions.....
i think the singing, dancing X-mas tree is liable to give my poor kitties nightmares...
Trae, read Vice President Henry Wilson's 1872 history of America. He talks of Jim Crow being born in New England. Yep. Jim Crow was a Northern Carpetbagger.
Too funny! Thanks to Trae, I'm gonna buy a t-shirt cannon for home protection. LOLOL
What kinda ammo you gon' get? I reckon a double XL Lynyrd Skynyrd will be a fine choice if you live in rural Appalachia.
If you live in Atlanta though a vintage Freaknik 96 will get the job done, but the ammo is too expensive.
Dolly Parton for just about everywhere else including Trae... He also accepts Lynyrd Skynyrd, Limp Bizkit and pre-Republican Kid Rock.
@@john2g1 Funny stuff. LOL
Think I'm gonna go with the obvious choice. 38 Special.
@@jstnxprsn as much as covid inflated ammo prices they would probably chase that too.
@@john2g1 Thanks John. I'm not feeling great today, so I really needed the laughs you provided.
I was fortunate to travel the US for work in my 20's. I found much to appreciate in every city and state I lived in and the south was especially memorable for it's food, music and good vibes. Can you say Mardi Gras?!
Dude! Magnificeant (sp) summary. I have tried to argue that Maryland is really a southern state. Can't wait to see you in Boston!
I love this Trae! Why don't you ever mention it on Puttin on Airs? BTW, can't wait for my book to arrive next week!!
Love everything Trae puts out. Thanks again
Blues , country , rock n roll ,
The tee shirt cannon killed Maude Flanders on The Simpsons. Way to go, Southern Culture! 😂
i guess i have the South to thank for when Colbert (host) and Oliver(guest) did a bit during the interview in celebration of the writer's strike being a success and liquidating their assets they created for fundraising (i think they were made for their late night show podcast they did during the strike) :3
Fascinating. Montanans are breathless with anticipation. :D
Hell yeah! I have been saying this for decades. George Washington? Southern. Thomas Jefferson? southern. Woodrow wilson? Southern (sorry about that one). Edgar allen poe? Southern. Mark Twain? well, Missouri is debatable, but he fought in the Confederate Army briefly, and thqt’s pretty damn Southern, so I say he counts. Rock? Southern. Country? Southern. Jazz? Southern Blues? Southern. the air conditioner? You damn well better believe the first one of those was in Florida. Martin Luther King, Jr? Southern. Thousands of white people that marched with him? Southern. By no means all, but certainly a lot more than none. Frying every damn thing? Southern. Soft drinks? Southern.
I’m not saying this in the “all y’all yankees suck” sense because honestly they don’t. And I’m certainly not saying we don’t have a HELL of a lot of problems, but it’s always popular to depict racism with a southern accent and ignore that Portland Oregon was a sundown town until welllllll into the 20th century. And in addition to the evil we’ve done, we’ve done a lot of cool assed stuff as well. If that outweighs the evil…well, it probably doesn’t. You don’t get to do centuries of slavery, and then claim Elvis makes up for it. But most of us are roughly about the same level of ‘bad’ as everyone else. Most. By no means all. There’s some damn evil people down here, but we *certainly* don’t have a monopoly on that.
Anyway, preachin’ to the choir, I know, but thank you for saying this just the same
I’m black and I absolutely agree. I never understood why my northern friends were so weird and paranoid about the south. 😂
Lemme add a few more, but they're of the four legged, furry variety. American Foxhound, Boykin Spaniel, Plott, all of the coonhounds, and the Catahoula Leopard Dog. All of them are just as Southern as Dolly Parton and Maggie Walker.
Missouri was a split state in the "war of northern aggression" but the current KKK count makes it southern as hell. Lot of white robes in these hills.
@@markpashia7067 Yup. Mark Twain was from Missouri, and he enlisted in the Confederate Army (And deserted after one battle). That’s pretty damn Southern in my book. Or, more recently, Indiana. People tend to forget how Indiana was kinda the hot burning heart of the KKK in the 1930s. While it’s midwestern, I’d be willing to bet there’s more KKK in Indiana than in any 2 southern states combined.
@@mahatmarandy5977KKK in the corn.
Lived in a lot of places, including the south for the last 11 years. Had to leave Arkansas when the people started losing themselves to the histeria and voted in Hucakbee-Sanders. Nobody seemed to notice when she started gobbling up Arkansas culture and replaced it with Trumpian authoritarianism.
Another proof that Missouri is also Southern. Tennessee Williams was from St Louis (and it was also the setting of The Glass Menagerie). He also went to the University of Missouri -Columbia.
Are you kidding!! The Big Mouth Billy Bass is one of my favourite things in the whole world. I remember the first time I ran into one in Florida. I laughed so hard, I nearly choked to death. That's on par with the first time I saw "Fat" by Weird Al. Ya!! That level of funny.
Love these videos! As a person with family roots in both the north and the south, I love that you are busting stereotypes.
Any chance you might do a video about southern workers standing together while owners tried to divide them through race baiting? Like in the New Orleans General Strike or the tenant farmer’s union?
Omg. Preach it brotha!
Thanks Trae 😂😊
As a hillbilly, Western Division, I approve this message.
Now I want to see the suppressed Billy Graham radio demos. I heard he had a strong flow
Yep. A fact most Northerner's fail to embrace is the spread of nazism in the US - at their hands - prior to WWII. German-American Bund was one of the most successful pro-Nazi organizations in the United States and was comprised almost exclusively of Northerners - mainly from New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The largest pro-nazi "celebration" in the US was promoted by Bund and held at Madison Square Gardens....in NY...yeah, I don't want to hear about Southerners being "intolerant" from folks who won't even admit to their own failures.
During WWII there was a strong fascist movement assembling and training small armed groups to carry out terrorist attacks while the most popular radio preacher put out the propaganda. Members of the House and Senate were involved, including using their free mail privilege to send Nazi propaganda received from Germany to Americans all over the country. The goal was to install a Nazi government in the US. Just another piece of history not in the history class.

hmmm............
The super soaker is to wet T-shirts what gold is to savings. Iconic. How many twelve year olds soak the neighbor girls to get a peek??? And how many neighbor girls learn to move from white t-shirts of more proper attire from those summer escapades? Of course it is southern.
Lord knows little sister don't like what her brothers do to her in the barn after her tee-shirt is wet! 🤢
Maybe I should forgive my mostly southern-born-and-bred extended family.
Love ya’ like chicken!
The impact of The South on rock music is pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Buddy Holly
PLAY FREE BIRD!
I went to see Quicksilver Messanger Service at a jr college near where we lived in nw Georgia I. I think 1972
Got our tickets and saw the opening group was somebody we'd never heard of, Lynard Skynard. They played, it was terrible.
Had the phrase been in use at that time, we would have said "These guys suck"
@@joeharris3878 You mean the no-hit wonder band? Cool. Guess your taste in music doesn't mean shit. One of those sad never-was bands that's had two dozen members float through and maybe one original member. Pathetic.
@@richsackett3423 That was the response of the crowd. That's the way it was often during those times.
It could be the band was high on drugs. I don't know. One thing's for sure, Quicksilver
was great, two of the best lead guitarists in the country at the time, in the sane group: Gary Duncan and John Cipollina.
You can take the hipsters and their mason jars back.
LOLOL Right?
Granted. but, i just wish we could keep then good parts in (like the food, especially the food, because Texan food yum) and the bad parts out (like the sates' rights argument). even in non-Southern places like California where forced sterilization on non-white population was a thing >_
Oppression inspires creativity
Yeah, regional pride is nice, but on literature and theater for the 20th century, the commentary is ridiculously inaccurate and off base. C'mon, guys, be better.
