Wtf is Southern about Okie culture?

All of it?

You know Oklahoma was settled by settlers, farmers and ranchers, from AR, LA, and MS in 1889......riiiiiight?

Let me throw you a buoy right back.

No one gives a shite about Oklahoma.

We don't care about your history. We don't care about your geography. We don't care that you think it's worth our time to learn about your shitty state. It's not. Go the frick back to your own boards. Thanks and GTFO.

Dude........I was born and raised in OK. Don't test me.


Let me throw you a lifeline so you can stop making a damn fool of yourself.

Geographically:
Oklahomans are the Great Plainsmen. We are part of the Great Plains, which is one of the largest geographical areas in the world. I posted a map for your educational purposes. We are not "the south", geographically.

Culturally:
OK was opened for settlement in 1889 by the federal government. As opportunity would suggest at the time, in 1889, farmers and ranchers from AR, MS, and LA were the majority of settlers that showed up to settle unlimited free land to raise their crops and cattle. They brought their culture with them. It exists to this very day.

SO.....yeah.....you'll run into many Okies that have a southern mentality because culturally they are, and always have been. Most of us are descended from that, myself included. My deceased father's family came up from LA. My mother's side were well-to-do cattle ranchers that came in from elsewhere of German heritage.

Summary: The Midwest is OH, IL, WI, MN, MI, MO, IN, and IA. That's it. That's the American Midwest. Missouri is the Midwest's furthest southern border. Always has been. OK is not, and never will be, part of the Midwest.

Oklahoma, geographically speaking, is part of the Great Plains. We are the Plainsmen. We were settled primarily by southerners from the old south. They brought their culture with them, as I said, and it exists to this very day.

Get it?

Google it, bitch. I'm not going to do your homework for you. I'm from there. Half of my own family is from LA.

I have Googled it and have done plenty of reading about the land rush.

I've never heard anything that supports your claim that a majority of the settlers were from MS and LA.

quote:

---

No you haven't. Stop lying. I'm an Okie born and raised. You're not. 

---

I actually have because I was intrested in the removal of Choctaw Indians from Mississippi to the Mccurtain County area in Southeastern Oklahoma.

Okie born and raised and you still havent supported your statement that Oklahoma was settled by a majority of Southern farmers.

Most of the country would consider Oklahoma to be a midwestern state whether its technically accurate or not.

quote:

---

Choctaw removal from MS has dick to do with the land run of 1889 and who the settlers were. 

---

No shite Sherlock, but upon reading about things such as that it inevitably leads to topics such as the land rush.

quote:

---

You're just digging yourself in deeper talking to somebody from a state you know nothing about trying to tell ME who my state is, and that's laughable. LAUGH-A-BLE.

So knowledgeable yet still havent produced any evidence to back up your theory.

I don't give a rat's arse what most of the country "considers". I rest my case.

Homey......you're an idiot. I told you which states comprise the American Midwest. OK is not among them. It never has been. It never will be. The midwest is the great lakes states down to Missouri. It always has been. What you "consider" doesn't mean shite. What is factual and true, is what means shite.

Dis is da Midwest. Do you see OK in there?
