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

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 47 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] nobleshift@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] Charapaso@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

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