Black or white. Southerners, in general, are pretty insecure when it comes to Northerners. White Southerners and Black Southerners have a lot in common when it comes to their disdain/insecurity for ppl in the Northeast.
White Southerners, in particular, have hated the North (whether it's Black or White Northerners) since the Civil War and I think certain characteristics of that hate rubbed off on Black Southerners to despise Black Northerners but for different reasons.
The main reason Black Southerners have insecurity issues along with disdain for Black Northerners is due to Hip-Hop. That's where it all started. It dates back to the 90s and early 00s when Northerners specifically ones from NYC didn't respect the South's brand of Hip-Hop (which imo they need to get over it).
The crazy thing is that although Californians and Northerners have had more intense rivalries in the past compared to the brief yet non-existent clash between the East and the South. I would say things are more neutral and not as intense (if at all) anymore.
Why would the South be insecure about creation of musical genres when the south is the birthplace of MOST forms created here. You think hip hop was created in a vacuum? There’s no hip hop without the southern groundwork laid before it’s creation. And how we need to get over anything when most new NY rappers gotta ride the south’s wave to get play.
