Can someone explain what COLLA GREENS means in this context? Collared greens?

[-] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Reminds me of that scene from the office

Michael Scott: ... colored greens ...

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: What?

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: That doesn't really make any sense. You don't call them collard people. That's offensive.

Jesus fucking christ, that was such a good joke. His ignorant / accidental(?) racism as a caricature was so funny to me because I know so many people like that

Yeah, my white grandfather's favorite meal. Collard greens and corn bread.

Oh yeah and some butter beans and black eyed peas for sides .... I'd hit that shit like it owed me money....

As a white man, I love collard greens and corn bread. I can understand how it became associated with (poor) black communities, but damn is it good. It shouldn't be an insult like some people make it.

I live in the South. Nobody here ever heard of “Soul Food”.

Everybody eats that because it’s awesome.

Go to a meat and three after Church on Sunday. You will see it full of happy old White People eating exactly what you described.

Exactly: my first time outside the South eating at a Soul Food place was funny, because to me it was just Food.

I've got a whole song arranged for Appalachian/mountain dulcimer about how great collard greens are. Iirc it's by the prolific author "traditional".

Edit: oops, it's about turnip greens. Totally different.

Yeah collard greens. There was a video where Harris gave her recipe when asked by someone...you know just once like a normal human being responding directly to a question.

Apparently Loomer thinks that's wasting too much time instead of talking about the issues that matter: made up racist allegations that have already been investigated and aren't actually happening.

Yes, collard greens. Loomer is just using racist "ebonics" in her post.
