"How long until this thread becomes about hating whitey?"

Sigh. And it was doing so well before you came along.

Tyrone Slothrop said...: I'm just trying to decipher the single comment, by "anonanon." Is Walker Catholic? Is there a Catholic conspiracy to take over the government of Wisconsin and perhaps massacre the Lutherans? Or is the crux (pun) here not "Catholic" but "catholic" as anonanon spells it, and he/she/it is against pushing allocation of resources/state power further into universal hands? Inquiring minds want to know.; 8/20/14, 12:16 PM

The boot's finally been lifted a little, just a little, from the black man's throat, and y'all still are locked in your self-righteous moral superiority syndrome.

Whatever.

Your churches, your colleges, your musicians, when not shitting on the black man, steal his shit and call it their own.

You made Malcolm X, The Nation Of Islam, and the Brothers holding their fists high at the Olympics, but they got there on their own.

None so blind as those who will not see.

Go about your ways and maybe slow the car down enough to gawk at the black man walking there, or yell some advice instead of the usual epithets. We know what y'all say about us.

At least you can't rape and lynch like the good 'ol days, so now it's all condescending bulls**t.

Buy my shit on Spotify. I made a place for you, Whitey, out of love.; 8/20/14, 1:00 PM
