insurrectionary-frybreadism:rawboney:twistedingenue:artem-ace:There’s this guy that sits in front of me who you would think is a conservative redneck bc his entire aesthetic is southern lumberjack w boots and denim and hats but he’s actually one of the most inclusive and anti trump guy I’ve ever met and today he wore this hat that sums up his entire personality and I’m screaming. Don’t judge a book by its cover; make cornbread, not war.Hey, this is the motto of the Southern Foodways Alliance, and among other things, they have an AMAZING podcast called Gravy, which ‘shares stories of the changing American South through the foods we eat’.You like this hat. Listen to that podcast. You’ll be happy.Y'all need to stop being surprised by the radicalism in The South. The idea that Southerners are inherently more backwards is steeped in classism and ableism and erases all the awesome work marginalized folks are doing out thereYeah if you’re from the south at all yall know theres that whole ass saying about 1/3rds of folks in the appalachias being communists, only liberal yuppies from the north are ever surprised by this lmao I spent most of my educational life in K - 12 split between California and Virginia/South Carolina and aside from the (very few) stereotypical racists I ran into in high school in the early/mid-90s I found more progressive people in the South than I did in my mainly Republican ruled county of San Diego (Darrell Issa was from my district, if that gives you an idea). It was an eye-opening but pleasant surprise. -- source link
