For real they should be celebrating apple pie and cornbread not slavery

Surely you meant sweet potato pie! Apples don't really grow down here.

But yeah, the southern heritage one should want to claim ought to be more about shrimp and grits and less about confederates and slavers. Those traitors are history, but no decent person would claim that hateful shit as their damn heritage. Unfortunately, we ain't about to run outta folks lacking decency anytime soon.
