The only beef I have is that you could see the same thing if you came to Southside VA or any inner city area. Where I live is WAY more rural and I think WAY more "backwards" than SWVA. I just hate the stereotypical stuff.

This country points fingers at just one group of people sometimes it seems. My beef is that the point the fingers as if that certain group were the only one "guilty."

Funny how they ended it with the guy beside the road digging coal. Saying he couldn't find a job. They should have sent him to the mines they went to earlier the guy said they needed a hundred people.
