QUOTE : I refuse to believe that Southern pride stems from the pain we’ve inflicted on others. Southern pride comes from what we’ve built together. In our music and art and innovation. <br /><br />In the people who honor us by taking our culture out into the world and celebrating it. It comes from people seeking us out, and flocking here to experience all that we know and love. <br /><br />We are all neighbors. We are all Southerners. This is OUR culture, and it means what WE choose it to mean. <br /><br />So, yes. I’ll say it again—Southern Pride is good collard greens.<br /><br />Death to the flag.<br /><br />Long live the South.
