That's just it. If you're not spending every waking moment working to atone for the legacy of racial injustice and violence in the South, then you're just as bad as the murderous lynching parties.

Please don't visit. We have enough traffic, there's nowhere to park, and all the restaurants have turned into copycat farm-to-table bbq crap. And FFS, please stop moving here. I could use a break from work.
