Chard posted:"If I had known this, I would have picked my own cotton" What the gently caress? Known what? That slavery is awful? Is this sticker in response to recent events or is this an old photo? I am genuinely at a loss as to what this is trying to say, I must be missing something obvious "If I had known I would have to live next to black people (because they eventually got something close enough to equal rights for me to be pissed off) I wouldn't have taken them out of Africa."

Satirizing the already ridiculous has to be tough work. Time for Bennett, Bagley, Horsey, et al. to step up their game.

Thanks for decoding that sticker friends, that "makes sense" in the context of being a crazy fuckin racist I guess.

The obvious coded message there is that people are furious that they can't use "friend of the family" in a disparaging context anymore without being called a racist. That's what it is, almost every single drat time.

The real response is to just ask why you'd want to say friend of the family

Being incredibly generous, you could say that the cartoonist is making the point that since friend of the family was reclaimed by black people as a term of endearment, the Confederate flag was reappropriated by Southerners to represent hospitality, cool lemonade on a warm evening, finding that perfect fishin' hole and fried chicken and gravy (thanks, Ruben Bolling) but of course there'd no way I'm extending this much benefit of the doubt.

I'm confused... and now I'm distracted because Bush's is a big brand for canned baked beans in the US and I think we miss an opportunity as a nation to make a lot of bean jokes in '03-'04.  uk on right (as you can surely tell) and us on right.

I figured most people here would realize by now that the Cold War was two superpowers loving over as many countries as possible to get the edge over the other in a global pissing match.

I am genuinely at a loss as to what this is trying to say, I must be missing something obvious This is actually a *more polite* version of a white Southern joke/saying that I've heard repeated by a couple of people. The full version is "If I'd have known that [you can guess what word goes here] were going to be this much trouble, I'd have picked my own drat cotton"
