Southern Manners on Decline, Some Say - NY Times →
Interesting article about an incident in Atlanta where two men refused to give up their seats for two women. Of course it wasn’t quite as simple as that. The men were black, the women white.
But it does indicate something that those of us from the South can’t deny. The erosion of Southern manners.
Look, when I’m in New York City I don’t expect anyone to say “excuse me” if they bump into me and am always pleasantly surprised if someone holds the door open for me coming behind them. But I have higher standards when I return home. Please stand when I come to the table; hold open the elevator door; and by all means, give up your damn seat.
