One of my favorite contractors to work with is a country black dude. Seems like every time we work together, he always says, "man, how you know about that?"

He's always fun to work with and he's got some crazy knowledge on how to fix stuff.

So now food is racist.

Growing up and living in the south gives you actual daily interaction with blacks. There’s trash of every race. Southerners, from my experience, are just more blunt and realistic about it than Yankees.

I've talked to a white girl who lived in Brooklyn, was from Michigan, and went to school at Southern. She was telling me how they would treat her at Southern and she said she never understood why they treated her so badly. When I told her it was because she was white, she refused to believe it. Some people simply don't want to acknowledge certain realities.
