They never discuss the literature .

Their identity is based on hating others and Christianity came from a Jewish guy in a middle eastern country and in the US black and Latino Americans tend to be more religious than white people.

There were things before Christianity that comes from "white" cultures but how much do these people know or care about it ?

Southern woman who even looks WASPish invite you to a supper of hopping john or gumbo (French and African). I'll play some gospel and rock music while you're here (African influences Bigtime - see Sister Rosetta Tharp for instance). Then there's the influences from places like Mexico - I do love street tacos! Ditto Italy, as in Pizza, spaghetti, pesto, etc. I can also eat my weight in twice-cooked pork and spring rolls.
I estimate that the amount of actual Anglo influence in my life is mostly lingual, since English is my native tongue (we won't go into my dialect right now ) The rest is a lovely mix of cultures from at least 4 continents.
By the by, according to the 1850 US Census my great-great-great-grandma, Prudence Woodall, was a Mulatto. Bet a whole lot of magats wouldn't want to know what lurks in their family trees. Heehee!

"white food is being erased? " send more food stamps to Appalachia or go to a burger joint instead of tacos.

if "white churches" preach things like this they are erased by their former parishioners who agree this is crazy talk, or by televangelists who deliver a corporate christianity replacing that "old time religion."

booker exposed him, but this ideology permeates the trumpers.

Does he think mayonnaise, white bread, and cauliflower are being "erased"? Somebody should tell this racist fuck that most people who eat tacos are probably eating even more burgers than they do tacos.

As for the people in Appalachia, how about actually doing something, for once, to eliminate their poverty, rather than just throwing more SNAP money at them, jackass.
