www.SocialStudiesDC.com SocialStudiesDC Whether you're a native Washingtonian or a DC transplant, chances are you've heard people say all of these... sometimes in one night.
Everyone from DC knows there are two different kinds of people in dc. Those whose who want chocolate City back and the rich white people moving in uptown.
That was hilarious! My office (I'm black) definitely does "Food Truck Fridays!" And "where are you from" is classic DC talk! Hahaha! And who doesn't love a good brunch?!?!?!
Danville VA? like at the southern edge of VA? What does that have to do with this DC video? No lack of love for VA though especially small towns in the southern part, so I appreciate you bringing it up, just wondering.
I was born and raised in DC and MD...I have NEVER heard people talk like this. DarlenCHam said it right, this should be called shit white people say in DC.
I actually really liked this. Some black folks are so caught up in what we know or our hoods, we don't step out to see how the rest of the ppl talk. Great vid!
In NYC it's "Where do you live" In Boston it's "Where did you go to school" and in DC it's "What do you do" Great video! Don't take it so seriously, folks ;)
kevin15776 In that case, you missed Fugazi in their prime. They were a punk band led by Ian MacKaye and Guy Piccito (sp?). Check out 13 Song and Repeater!
Yes it most certainly was! Back in the 1950s it was a Country music capital, almost everyone in DC native had a Southern accent (Maryland/Tidewater VA influence) Jimmy Dean had his show there, and Patsy Cline got her start. Oh, and NYC and Boston were NEVER legally segregated the way DC was. And that is part of the bad Southern history that DC and most of Maryland was part of.
It was a map I saw at Border bookstores. It showed the east coast going from Maine to SC. Then "The South" was Georgia and west to TN and to TX. Virginia is a southern state. We have southern accents, drink sweet tea, and we eat spoonbread. If you go to Richmond , you get a choice of sweet or unsweet tea. You would never get sweet tea offered in "the mid atlantic". My parents from Virginia had very strong Southern accents. My accent is much lighter.
nah white ppl be like y'all white ppl trying to move black ppl out and making it expensive so rn white ppl in north east but at least south east still go it on blk in Hispanics up there
Haha, I miss this! I've been on both sides of DC, and this is deff only heard closer you get to the touristy places. Totally different scene around PG County.
" " NAVY YARD" is the new eckington"---- i just figured it out. thanks lieutenant dan - but i was talking about the next line after the line you xplained. :-)
sounds more like "Shit commuters from Maryland and Virginia outskirts as well as Northwest residents who never venture outside of that side of town says"..
One cemetery even got retroactively segregated. Yes, you read that correctly. And it used to be illegal to sell property to blacks or Irish in the District too. Yep, Jimmy Dean was from Mount Pleasant. Used to be country bands there, and Czech families.
MUMBO SAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for making that apart of the video! Lmao A DC staple...but most of that shit...my my my how DC has changed #gentrified lol
I thought we settled this... Richmond is much much more Southern than Nashville. Maybe not quite as Southern as Birmingham. Ive been to Nashville.. Hardly southern at all. As for "Nova", its called that because Virginia has 4 (sometimes 5) distinct regions. There's Southwest VA, Central, Northern, and Tidewater. Northern Virginia used to be like North Carolina in culture. Today, it is really too transient to have a distinct identity... Richmond, however, is another story.
You can go for months living in Atlanta and never hear a southern accent there. In Richmond we have southern accents here. It is 10x more Southern than Atlanta here. DC and Atlanta are in that regard- much alike. Both cities are geographically the South- and once "southern", but now they are much atypically Southern.
