In Louisiana there's a lot of racial traditional culinary overlap but some distinctive differences as well.
Of course, we have a lot of distinctive "culinary traditions" from the rest of the South as well.

Yeah Louisiana is a different story. If I truly had to guess at the salt vs. sugar, it was probably a status symbol at one point to use sugar and some moved away from it while others did not. The South is weird like that- Selma has an accent that sounds more like Savannah, whereas nowhere nearby has that accent anymore.
I went to school with a girl from Selma and I thought she was originally foreign, it was so strong

Your pre-edited post had a screen shot from ancestry.com proving how white you are, as if to distance yourself from black folks. Now you've come back to edit that post to align yourself with black culture and suggest that the rest of us who don't share those traditions aren't southern at all.

This is as bad as putting sugar in corn bread. If you put sugar in corn bread, you’ve made a cake.

GTFO
What you define as “southern” is more likely redneck.

Only thing I removed was the screen shot which I intended to show this is not a black/white thing. I did add the ETA (only because people were saltier than yankee grits) but everything else was in my original post

I prefer S&P for grits and sugar for oatmeal.

ice in boiled crawfish water?
They want to slow down the cooking process in order for the crawfish to soak up flavor without over cooking and drying out.
So crawfish are floating in water. Adding ice which melts, will stop them from cooking and drying out. Makes sense. Not.

Grew up in rural northwest GA...5th generation, and always ate them with butter and sugar growing up.

From BR -- Yes, we put a pinch of sugar in our grits.

Sorry for sounding snarky in my previous post. I had no idea you were retarded.

From time to time I'll put a little dollop of my homemade strawberry fig jam inside the side of the bowl. A lil salty and sweet is never bad.

No sugar for me.

I had never seen or heard of it before either. However, I was eating breakfast with a black guy one time and he proceeds to start emptying sugar packets in his grits. I didn’t say anything, but must have picked up how perplexed I was, cause he said, “oh, you didn’t know that’s how black people eat grits?”
It's not just grits. It's pretty much anything. It's either loaded with sugar or salt. I watched this one dude put so much sugar in his coffee, that it ceased to be coffee. It was basically a suspension of sugar, coffee, and instant creamer. I honestly don't know how he doesn't go into a coma.
That being said, I've witnessed this behavior with different individuals, and the common theme is - black.

Many moons ago, my best friend was babysitting our older son, and when she mentioned sugar in the grits she’d fed him, I was dumbfounded. I’d just never heard of it. Still haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it’s good. I just want buttery, salt and black peppery, cheesy grits.

Sugar belongs in Cream of Wheat,
not grits.
This is the correct answer
Yankees don’t know shite about grits.
As a child traveling to yankee territory
My Dad ordered Grits….
The yankee frick said we feed that to the hogs

Can’t wait to try it.
Hogs head cheese is criminally underrated
