I watched it just a few days ago. It was funny in a biting sort of way. I consider myself to be a CW nerd and I enjoyed it.
we'd all be eating chitlins right now.
If the south had won the civil war, George W. Bush would be president.
I feel so racist but I can't help but laugh at the slave auctions that they were putting on T.V.
...and wow, Spike Lee continues to inspire more racial tension. Yay!
we would ban the cars made in china
and have em made in Carolina
and have em made in Carolina
The locals here say, "..the war ain't over yet."

Everybody drives them. I am 20 minutes from the big BMW plant and all their employees lease them for dirt cheap.
My brother in law actually has a job there doing final test drives of their cars around a track.
read a great story proposing what would've happened if the South had won the war and demanded reparations from the North (staying 2 separate countries). The South prospers and becomes the economic powerhouse of the new millenium, while the North slides into 3rd world status. The "what if" question is always interesting...
It's funny - 'cause over in Europe BMWs and Audis are kind of like Ford and Chevy here...........Jeremy R said:

And so much other disgusting, deep-fried food...
In general, Southerners do not eat chitlins.
I have only experienced African Americans eating chitlins.
Somebody else may school me on the history of this,
but I think it was because slaves were only given what was considered the disgusting parts of the pig, like intestines etc...
and over time, they developed a taste for it, and some still eat it today.

You are correct, sir. It is a dish most often enjoyed by black folk and your historical reasoning was also on target. Most white folk don't eat them but I have known some who will. My own father, a Tampa/St. Pete native, ate them every now and again and even tried to get me and my brother to try them AND scrapple(fried pig snout), too. He got no takers but seemed to enjoy the look of revulsion on our faces as we watched him down a pile. I have noticed this same phenomenon among all manner of varied races, colors & creeds. People just seem to enjoy making others uncomfortable by eating odd or unusual foods, especially in public where doing so attracts curious attention.Jeremy R said:

I have several thousand dollars worth of confederate money in various denominations...including those <$1, e.g. $0.25 paper money.*
*[historical aside] Due to a severe wartime shortage of metal, the CSA issued paper notes for what now is coin change. The same thing happened during other wars where cheap metals were used for coins as a substitute for the strategic ones used previously, e.g. copper in pennies was replaced with a crap metal amalgam.
Yep, that's true.llkoolkeg said:
No matter what culture, people always try to serve you disgusting stuff as a kid. I remember rednecks making squirrel stew, turtle stew, froglegs etc....
We would be able to marry our sisters and cousins.
I am sure southerners would appreciate Poutine.
