The Shenandoah Valley was the "Breadbasket of the South" during the Civil War.

Don't know if that was a contemporary epithet or something that historians came up with later.

They actually did grow wheat there, something Florida isn't known for.

Floridians may have had similar traditions, something about their state as the "breadbasket of the Confederacy" -- as do Georgians and Texans -- but it's silly to see this as "dog-whistle" politics.

Don’t even pay attention to it. This is designed to be annoying and create tension.

Call it what it is: Childish.

The Ukraine is also the Breadbasket. I guess that’s racist too.

Any word in the dictionary that was spoken by a person in the south before passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is by definition racist.

Along with all words spoken by Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan.

Racebaiters will always claim that any word can be racist. Ignore the deep-rooted racists!

Liberals look at Websters Unabridged Dictionary and see racism in every single word.

But what if pumpernickel rye was the only thing made from that breadbasket? Would it still be racist?

"The Shenandoah Valley was known as the Bread Basket of the South during the Civil War" according to the Virginia Angus Association. That valley is NOT in Florida, it's in Virginia. They aren't the only easily identified source of this info.

Hamby is factually WRONG.

California has often been referred to as the breadbasket of the world. In fact the California Department of Food and Agriculture notes that California is the world’s fifth largest supplier of food and agriculture
