      Reminds me of that scene from the office

      Michael Scott: … colored greens …

      Stanley: It’s collard greens.

      Michael Scott: What?

      Stanley: It’s collard greens.

      Michael Scott: That doesn’t really make any sense. You don’t call them collard people. That’s offensive.

        Jesus fucking christ, that was such a good joke. His ignorant / accidental(?) racism as a caricature was so funny to me because I know so many people like that

        As a white man, I love collard greens and corn bread. I can understand how it became associated with (poor) black communities, but damn is it good. It shouldn’t be an insult like some people make it.

          I live in the South. Nobody here ever heard of “Soul Food”.

          Everybody eats that because it’s awesome.

          Go to a meat and three after Church on Sunday. You will see it full of happy old White People eating exactly what you described.

            Exactly: my first time outside the South eating at a Soul Food place was funny, because to me it was just Food.

          I’ve got a whole song arranged for Appalachian/mountain dulcimer about how great collard greens are. Iirc it’s by the prolific author “traditional”.

          Edit: oops, it’s about turnip greens. Totally different.

      Yeah collard greens. There was a video where Harris gave her recipe when asked by someone…you know just once like a normal human being responding directly to a question.

      Apparently Loomer thinks that’s wasting too much time instead of talking about the issues that matter: made up racist allegations that have already been investigated and aren’t actually happening.

      Yes, collard greens. Loomer is just using racist “ebonics” in her post.
