The Deep South is still alive and well in Virginia outside of the major metro areas. Go to Danville or Bedford and you’ll see what I mean.

Is there a reason you’re calling out Bedford

I was just thinking of places outside of nova/Richmond/HR that have a Deep South feel and also have a sizeable population. Didn’t want to include Appalachia because I think it’s distinct.

Also it’s one of the towns I’ve actually been to. I’m sure south Boston is similar but I’ve never been.

Talk about living in a bubble... Do you get your news from the comment sections or Twitter too?

Pretty broad brush you're painting with there. African Americans are the largest demographic of both Danville and South Boston. Where else in the state would you like to ignorantly shit on next?
