I'd rather live here then most areas with any blacks in it. Rather be poor white guy living with other whites then a middle class white man surrounded by blacks.

>>137906564 There are some proposed flags. The states don't want Appalachians to have any autonomy. The federal government has some programs to help us out financially, but they're filled to the top with politicians (not even local ones, but, for example, the NC lieutenant governor) that cuck out to mining companies who destroy our mountains.

Yes, Appalachia is one of my favourite regions of the US (although I've never been there, and I've never been to the US in general).

>>137907208 True. Asheville is the worst in the mountains. Everytime I'm there I'm reminded of how much we're being colonized. Vanderbilts should have never been allowed to buy property and build their damn castle.

>>137907454 I heard they used to molest children in this place. Appalachia will never get autonomy, but if it did NC would be our savior, especially western NC. It is kinda shitty how all the Central Appalachians are culturally and linguistically brothers, but are separated by arbitrary state lines. If we had our own state + governor we could improve standard of living for Appalachians and preserve our culture and history.

>>137907622 Ikr, it's awful. What few programs we have are coopted by state governments elected by people not actually from the mountains. And of course nobody gives a damn at the federal level since Democrats want us all dead or Republicans know the App. vote is always locked in. I heard that Cincinnati's local government considers Appalachians to be a cultural nationality, which is pretty cool. I think it's because there's a ton of diaspora living and working there.

I think it's because there's a ton of diaspora living and working there. If only this were the case across the country. Feels like we're allowed to get picked on and made fun of nationally with no repercussions. Demcrats and Republicans both don't care about us. Personally I've been in contact with reps from the NRP about setting up an Appalachian divison. We need cultural nationalism so Appalachians don't die out. Already got one foot in the grave.

The only group that has been made fun of universally for centuries without any defenders, even when so many Appalachians make up the military. >NRP What this? I've always been a big advocate of preserving Appalachian culture; big collector of books written by our authors, but it doesn't matter much without anything to actually do with it. I always liked the idea of the Katúah project, but didn't see it as feasible.

Doesn't matter if 100% of Appalachians wanted their own state. Tyranny of the greatest degree and goes against the US' own foreign policy. Total BS. It'll all still be home regardless of what faggots in Raleigh or Atlanta think anyway.

>>137910331 I would say people here are rather centrist, at least in southern WV. They tend to be socially right wing but fiscally pretty leftist. Historically central Appalachia was a very socialist area, due to the Coal Wars. Only in the last 30-40 years have we become Republican stomping grounds.
