When I was in grade school in the 50s-60s a kid moved from Alabama. He said he hated school because he had to wear shoes. He used to carry them to school and put them on to come inside, and take them off at the end of school to walk home.

That is hillarious.

Also, I'm not from that generation but around that time things were very different that it kind of makes sense in a specific kind of rural area.

Interesting. A parasite causing degradation and stalled development in White communities. That sounds familiar.

During the 60s-70s the cool surfer dudes in Calif would go down the Tijuana and buy sandals made from tires. We called them 'huruaches'. The some of the posers would be like 'yeah, I got these when I was surfing down in Baja'.

Nope, from the south. Migrated north for factory jobs in what is now the rust belt. And to spread cultural enrichment to northern cities.

Northerners have always shat on the South. If you have an accent from down there, you have to work to hide it because they immediately associate it with being dumb.
