Superstition is superstition - you can try to paint this as a class thing but ultimately ghosts aren’t fucking real. Seems like one part of the country gets that, the other doesn’t.
Where does JD Vance come from, again?
Funny you say that when you have an entire state run by Mormons.
Oooo people who tell ghost stories and urban legends are stupid but we’re smart with our magic underwear oooo
I think all religion is superstition - if you actually read what I wrote you’d be able to put that together, but you think I’m being racist because you’re missing a few critical brain wrinkles.
No, it’s just that you’re uneducated.
The trope of the religious, ignorant hillbilly is not only based off of classism, but also racism. There was a lot of mixing of races and cultures in Appalachia, because a lot of people were poor and poor isolated people tend to work together, so a lot of those “ignorant and inpure” hill folk started, horror upon horror, interbreeding instead of keeping the races pure. That’s where you get groups like the Melungeon.
Of course, certain types of people, usually with white hoods in their closet, didn’t like that, (and the fact these folks tended to unionize and fight back) so they spent a good amount of time spreading a lot of bad rumors about dangerous, ignorant, backwards religious people living in Appalachia.
So you, a judgemental and ignorant person on the Internet, fell for a long standing KKK propaganda talking point.
Incorrect, superstition is always based in woo woo magical thinking/ religion. I’m not interested in whatever bullshit this is, you can keep your ‘education’ to yourself.
I’m saying that you assuming people from Appalachia are superstitious and backwards is part of a racist propaganda campaign that you fell for.
No point in arguing with fools I guess, enjoy your high horse.
Appalachia is at least 80% white. It is one of the least racially diverse places in the country. Trying to suggest I’m somehow being racist is fucking brain damaged - educate yourself on critical race theory.
Edit: Melungean is a slur by the way, congrats on outing yourself
Weird you’re telling someone that something is a slur when you don’t even know our culture or are even from here.
Get bent ya KKK brainwashed bigot, you’re the one thinking people from Appalachia are all ignorant religious idiots.
Don’t need to, wanna know why?
Ghosts. Aren’t. Real. Monsters. Are. Human.
Actually, quick question - what’s your skin color?
