The etymology of "Bayou" is from a French onomatopoeia reaction for catching a whiff of swamp rear end.

do they still refer to black teen boys as "strapping young bucks" or are the popular media depictions of racist southerners hopelessly out of date?

anyway, to be fair to the south, by the time mel gibson told his wife she would be raped by a "pack of [n-words]" i'd already heard that phrase growing up, in a large coastal city. lotta shitheads terrified of being mugged walking through an adjacent neighborhood which happens to be home to a significant number of world-famous hip-hop artists

This stems from an old pact made between the french & mosquito. It entitles the skeeters to every families first born in exchange for safe passage through the bayou

i think cities have the advantage of forcing people into closer confines so that they are forced to recognize their mutual humanity, but it can't be overstated how much integration did to combat racism even in rural areas of the south. when you're young and your brain is gooier its easier to learn that other races are the same as you when you're exposed to them 5 days a week. my dead grandpa refused to talk to my aunt and dad because they stayed in school after integration lol, and today that would be insane

and racists with money know that poo poo works too, because a ton of private "christian" schools opened up coincidentally in 1968 and they are 99% white kids. and they are invariably super loving racist. public school still produces plenty of racist white kids, but there are far more who came out without the racist brain poisoning

a coworker of mine has family there and sometimes visits them and relays the stuff they say behind closed doors to us at lunch. he's a real affable guy who will tolerate anything and nod along, so they open up to him with all sorts of insane poo poo

one prominent thing is they say "those people" in public, but in private it's The loving NWords all the way. despite this they do not believe they're racist lol.

CHUDs have internalized that racism is bad and Nazis are bad generally. But, they know THEY are good people. Therefore, nothing they can do is racist because being racist would be bad and they are not bad.

since we're on the subject, a while back i lived with one of my former best friends who i've known since high school. it was me, him, his dad and some other chud i met when i moved in. all three of em were white, all three of em were staunch republicans and all three of em frequently used the n-word in my presence. the full on chud would use the n-word for pretty much every black person, including (and especially) obama, the other two limited it to more stereotypical black people that pissed them off. it always struck me how my friend would justify his actions by saying there's a difference between racism and prejudice and what he was doing was the latter but not the former. his dad made extra effort to prove he wasn't racist when we were watching a documentary on the kkk one day and he told me that scum like that are racist, unlike him and the other two.

all this took place in so-called liberal los angele, california. i can ABSOLUTELY loving believe white people say poo poo like this when they're feeling safe and secure.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-coachways-charter-bus-company-did-not-sabotage-the-march-for-trump?ref=author


quote:

A couple hundred Donald Trump fans rallied outside Congress on Thursday for the “March for Trump,” an event meant to oppose House Democrats’ impeachment investigation. According to organizers, though, there would have been hundreds more people shouting “stop the coup” in Washington’s streets if not for a liberal plot against their buses.

That’s because, as would-be rally attendees gathered across the East Coast for the US Coachways buses that the organizer had promised would take them to Washington, those buses never showed.

The no-shows provoked a wave of anger, accusations that the “deep state” had colluded to stop a show of Trump support in Washington, and negative reviews aimed at US Coachways.

But US Coachways has a simpler explanation for what happened—it was never paid for the requested buses due to a series of declined credit card payments.

preppers are funny because it’s incredible that they don’t realize the super obvious fact that surviving as a lone wolf in an apocalypse is impossible unless you’re nomadic, and almost certainly impossible even then. “I’ll hunt for my food!” okay, and also drag the carcass back home, butcher, clean and salt/smoke it. meanwhile, run a functional subsistence farm, potentially keep chickens or goats (haha hunting when we have already killed 65% of all wildlife) learn how to can veggies safely, cook all of your meals, do all house/property repairs, burying/disposal of human waste, learn field medicine, herbology, and how to make simple remedies or disinfectants; find a stable source of clean water (loooooool), potentially use it to irrigate your farm, give up your vices or learn to make/grow them, adjust to lack of all passive entertainment save written material, loss of all forms of medication both physical and psychiatric, etc etc.

it is admittedly fun if you find yourself talking with an apocalypse fantasist to just go “what about this? and this? and this? and this?” and watch their confidence crumble in real time, but I wouldn’t say it should be sought out
