The food, including Cajun & Creole, crawfish, The French Quarter, Mardi Gras, voodoo, bayous, the music (birthplace of jazz), Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, salt domes/caverns (which is why much of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is located there), the template for haunted mansions and graveyards.
Happy Turducken Day :)
- trilbyglens 3y agoAlmost entirely aspects of black culture, which is still extremely persecuted there. The south is still extremely backwards.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoCan you elaborate? I count 3-4 out of 12 items in that list as being specific to black culture. And AFAIK they're celebrated there, not persecuted (perhaps with the exception of voodoo.)
- Obscurity4340 3y ago> Aspects of black culture Are you implying pathological cultural appropriation or is there another aspect I'm missing between the lines here? Like, black culture is part of the larger homogenous culture, no?
- CoastalCoder 3y agoDid you maybe intend to reply to the GP?
- Obscurity4340 3y agoYess
