#Black Southern culture

[tani-b-art]

“…socially despised and yet artistically esteemed…”

This quote from Alain Locke can be applied to every non-Black person. Non-Black American people included.

Our subcultures, regional cultural characteristics (especially Southern Black American culture) are sooo extracted and copied, emulated and imitated, gleaned from while simultaneously being ridiculed, mocked and degraded.

Southern identifiers, dialect and accents are belittled yet are modeled after and mimicked.

The specific disdain and shame for Southern Black American culture is truly something (which has really been highlighted since the announcement of this album).

And yeah, Beyoncé soo country! Been country! Is country and never shied away from it!

Beauty/Death

You smile at the deer eating grass by the underpass

you smile at the dead ones on the highway too

Beauty does not stop at death to you.

GIVE ME JEFFERSON SENDING MILES DOWN TO HIS COUNTRY ASS COUSINS FOR THE SUMMER OR GIVE ME DEATH🗣️🗣️🗣️

The 100% get him into ATV and Dirty riding.

The boy has gained 25 pounds of muscle and 5 more inches by the start of July

Every college in Atlanta, Texas, and Tennessee is pounding on the Morales door for him.

Miles had made friends with multiple deer

Someone gave him a forest camo hoodie and a gold chain

They make him stand on a horse and he starts crying.

I'm still tryna decide if he's Midwest county or down south country

The Pentecostal church be triggering his Spidey sense and his great aunties gotta drag him to the car every morning

Charlie Wilson and Saturday mornings now trigger his PTSD

Cries because he can't get Big Granny's greens back home (Jeff cries wit him)

Has never ate this much pork in his fucking life

Had another life changing coming of age moment on a late night drive with 6 of his cousins in someone's pick up and a bottle of crown. They came back wiser yet more foolish.

Would like to go the rest of his life never hear cicadas every again, give him that city noise pls.

Cried seeing all the stars for the first time

Has made friends with every tamale lady in the tri-state area

While it’s important to not let the ( suspected; not yet convicted) shooters politics overshadow what he did it’s weird how many people believe that the revolution will begin with people of color and other minorities “getting over themselves” and keeping their mouths shut about his views altogether

I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that.

I’ve never been the best at putting into words just how deeply I’ve grown to appreciate the rich southern culture of Louisiana, that I was raised in especially New Orleans. The Black community here carries an endless tapestry of culture that begs to be captured—whether it’s the vibrancy of the Secondline, the spirit of Mardi Gras, or the bold expressions of New Orleans Fashion Week. As a photographer, my mission has always been to reveal the soul and beauty of this city and state through my lens. With each post, I aim to inspire fellow photographers to step into their own communities, to experience, and to immortalize the essence of our unique, powerful culture

South of Midnight, a third-person action adventure set in an original world of magic, monsters and giant, blues-playing skeletons. The game's debut trailer is a cinematic snippet introducing the protagonist, a young woman named Hazel, as she attempts to reason with an immortal specter on a dark dock. Hazel is hunting a monster — or, it's hunting her, as the trailer goes on to show — and she can wield bright threads of magic.

I think there's a list to be made of the phenomenon of "I can be misogynist as long as I say white," and my contribution is "I can be anti-black as long as I call it southern"
