Lol
White gal here. This is so true! I tend to feel this white guilt for all past injustices against blacks and find myself over-compensating.

But in high school I drove a yellow 1969 Plymouth Satellite.
It was faster than the speed of light.....

Anyway, cool that your car's 37 years old! Rock on.
We don't have a car. Our ride is bikeshare, Metro, and walking. Sometimes Zipcar.

I don't mean to be rude but since I've move to the South I've been to a few "famous" places to eat Soul Food and also tried it at people's houses... it has not won me over. The veggies come across as overcooked, Okra, I could throw up. I never was a fan of mac and cheese (even as a kid - yellow, cheese, ew) and I don't like fried chicken (long story, my front teeth have issues and I can't pick off the bone.) So, I'm sure some people love it but I'd chose ANY other cuisine if given the choice.

I live food from all different cultures.
I love fried chicken and BBQ. I can't eat fried chicken often because it is bad for you. I love collards but I make them myself. I like to go out to eat for food I can't make at home... Fried chicken... But I normally take it to go.
I consider them southern food. African Americans from NY or Chicago would not consider most food you mentioned aa food.
