Given that the Onion’s prediction of a shrieking, white-hot sphere of pure rage following Obama’s election came true, you’re absolutely spot on. No matter who won, we’d still have lost.
My wife and I agreed, after decades of being opposed to it, it’s time to get strapped. Tired of this shit.
I'm just glad I'm not in the Midwest anymore, sure things are going wonderfully over there.
Dude, when I was a kid I moved from the midwest to the south.
It was like going from a decent, but backwards place, to living under the fucking Taliban.
I warned everyone to get out of the south while they could, but I know it's not always possible, I just hope most made it.
The South will NEVER forgive our unimaginable crime, we elected a BLACK MAN over them, that is an evil they can never get over, and they genuinely believe we did it just because we knew it was the thing they hated most.
I watched a Jamie Oliver series some years ago (when Obama was president) and Jamie was out overnight with some cowboys and cooking over a fire. They were chatting about governments or something and one of the guys said something like 'You Brits get a woman, and we get a n*****.' Cue Jamie's shocked face. Later on in his tent he was visibly upset. Think he regretted going on that trip.
Am brown.
The south was intolerable, it's weird to see such naked racism in America.
But it's a fundamental part of their culture, it's why Obama was clearly a Muslim, because Christian means white to them.
I was born in New York, but the south was the only place where I wasn't an American to anyone there.
The problem is: most people never have to face the reality of the south, so it's easy to pretend it's just an exaggeration.
