Soul food, a specific result of american slavery, and calmex, imperialism, also would not exist without the US
True. I suppose I meant people will make good food regardless of if the American state exists as it does. Of course the history of this terrible place impacts the people in it and what they do and thus the culture they develop.
I'm basically agreeing with you and trying to parse what the previous person said ... Why are queer spaces uniquely worth crediting the American state with while things like food and national parks are not. Because of course the Americans states unique history of oppression influences modern queer culture in America just as slavery and imperialism influence it's people's food.
Neither would exist as they do without the American state but that of course does not abdicate the state from its evils.
No I was agreeing with you and trying to bolster your point!
Oh my bad! Sorry my reading comprehension is low this morning... Because that seems clear reading again.
