@BBrendan Exactly what I thought when I read the question; there are also plenty of unpretentious and down to earth people / neighborhoods / towns which aren't "working class"

@thisguy20 I live in an upper-middle class white neighborhood. It used to be unpretentious and down to earth when my parents were growing up. Even though the neighbors were well-to-do business owners and prominent members of the city power structure, they were "invisible": no flash, friendly and accessible church-going Christians. The demographic has gradually changed. The neighbors are still white, mostly, but full of themselves. No more business owners but hot professionals and corporate management types. Fancy cars and obnoxious brats. Even a sprinkling of rainbow flags. It's getting as bad as foul weather when one has to go away for the summer or winter. I seek relief living 6 months a year in Asia.

I wonder what's life like away from the city among the Mennonites or Amish.

@Lostpoet only if you find the whiskey still.

@Kstrong You are only 45 and your kids are grown? What do you mean by grown?

@sree251 im 57.... kids are married with their own families

@Kstrong I swear I saw 45 F. I guess I was mistaken. Sorry about the divorce. You must have hung in there till the kids are safely on their way. Changing homes and changing partners are no different. It's brought about by unhappiness with one's situation. There is no guarantee that it will turn out right.

@DearAmbellina2113 How did you get out and didn't end up with a redneck husband?

@sree251 I only ever dated ONE dude from that town, and he was not a redneck. Lol also I didn't accept his proposal. I have always seemed to end up with boyfriends who are southern. I jut don't click with southern people usually.

@DearAmbellina2113 You were lucky. Rednecks don't propose. Not all southerners are rednecks.

@Nimbus There is no Anfield in America but one in Liverpool. Are you telling me that you Brits have rednecks? How did they get there?

@BLP11520 What do you mean? Loud as a person or loud music they play?

@Spoiledbrat

The self loathing white crowd

@Slade They are not really self-loathing. They are latter-day white supremacists.

@sree251 True dat!
