    When a right-winger uses state power to subordinate blacks and deny their civil rights they’re actually liberal because they used the government to do so!
    You mean like when Repubs ended slavery and gave blacks the right to vote?

    Just learned about this US history thing. Turns out there were racist southern democrats who FDR appeased by limiting the New Deal to whites. Someone let me know what happened to these dixiecrats who were conservative. I’m not that far yet.
    Why did these "conservatives" repeatedly vote for the liberal FDR? So FDR "appeased" them by limiting the New Deal to whites, which isn't completely accurate but I'll let that bullshit pass for now. Why would those racist "conservatives" support any form of the New Deal?

    Cue the jackass dance.

    There was a black woman named Sharon who was kind of a mother figure to me in my late teens and early twenties. (She died about a year and a half ago from cancer). But I was having a conversation with her around 1990, when I was 19 years old. If I remember correctly, I referred to her or someone as African-American, which was becoming the societal norm. She was like, "Derek, knock off that bullshit right now. Let me tell you something. You take a standard African person right now and bring them over here, they are going to take one look at us black American folk and go What the fuck are you guys doing? All these black kids today wearing African colors and clothing and necklaces, they don't have the slightest g-damn idea what they're talking about. It's pure foolishness. Black Americans can't even begin to relate to what those people are like or what their lives are like. It's pure foolishness. Their connections and roots to that continent were destroyed long ago by the slave trade and they might as well accept that fact and move forward and create something new. And while we're at it Derek, what exactly is white anyway? What the fuck is up with that shit? Do you know what pure white looks like? It's not anywhere near the skin tone that you have. It's a farce in order to brainwash Americans a certain way about what's supposedly pure and what isn't. You think you're any purer than me?"

    I could go on and on with what she said, but I'll just say at one point I went... "Whoa, this is a lot to process..." And she said "I'm helping you to wake the fuck up Derek. The real world out here isn't like all that bullshit they're teaching you in school. And I'm from Pittsburgh, and you people out here in Seattle are living in a fucking dream world that doesn't exist. Y'all got your heads in the clouds and all idealistic and shit. Derek, this is the game of Life... Milton Bradley invented that shit!"

    Then she leaned back and did that cackling laugh she always did when she was destroying my faulty assumptions about life. She then capped things off by saying: "The world's a fucked-up place, Derek. It's all about who you know and who you blow. The sooner you realize that the better off you'll be!"

    Then I'd go "Ouff." And she'd started chanting "Der-ek! Der-ek! Der-ek!..."
    God, I think I'd have tittay fucked that woman......

    RIP, Sharon. The Throbber is saluting you. No, really... full-on flagpole, sweatpants style.

    I wish I had an older black woman to teach me about life. By life I mean sex. I had useless 15 year old white girls who didn't know anything more than me. Surprised I found the hole.

    Were the Southerners beating blacks and turning fire hoses on them liberals or conservatives? Thanks in advance.
    Both. The Conservative hosers wanted to knock people down and control them.

    The Liberal hosers wanted to see people naked after their clothes were blown off, because Liberals are perverts.
