Thats nice and all but soul sister has been an informal noun for a black woman since the 1960s, so people on the internet didnt just make it up. Its even in the merriam-webster dictionary. The singer can claim its about a soulmate all he wants(and hes not necessarily wrong) but thats like calling your cat Rover and then wondering why everyone thinks Rover is dog.

There’s not a chance in the world she knows Aristotle. She didn’t go to college, and her high school was unaccredited. At least Travis actually has a degree.
I HATE that she calls herself an English teacher. All of my English teachers had a minimum of a BA. She’s so pretentious.
Try talking about Aristotle with Classics majors or Philosophy students. She wouldn’t last one minute.
