[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The South has so many great virtues that deserve to be celebrated.  Lots of jealous people here.[/quote]
Southern chauvinism blinds a lot of people. You guys are seriously obsessed with your alleged superiority.[/quote]
Wasn’t it explained up the thread that black people had to sue to live in the same neighbourhood as the whites? So who is obsessed?[/quote]
Your reply is an excellent example of the southern chauvinism I was referencing. [/quote]
DP.  Your posts are excellent examples of your own blind spots.  [/quote]
Not really.

I really like Tressie McMillan Cottom. She’s a PhD, and I generally agree with a lot of her conclusions and how she gets there. But her Dolly Parton piece wanders over into southern chauvinism territory https://tressie.substack.com/p/the-dolly-moment, making the assumption that everyone views life through a southern lens. That’s southern chauvinism, as is the “Lots of jealous people here” comment above. As is the “... black people had to sue to live in the same neighbourhood as the whites? So who is obsessed?” comment. Black people had to sue to live in the same neighborhood as White people in a number of different places; it didn’t have to do with Black people wanting to live in the south because it’s so magical and awesome (though to be clear, they put in the lion’s share of work in building it and that’s where their United States family history is centered).
