Eamon DevaLera agrees! Although, there's also a bit of Spanish in my Danish ancestry from when Nelson sank half of their navy at Copenhagen.
Yes - that's why when the black guy at work says "Republicans" all the other blacks will know he's talking about whites, not blacks who vote Republican, because here in Augusta there are none (or very few). Actually he could just say "whites" because working in government service he could say any offensive thing he wanted to, and me as a white couldn't say shit about it, because as a black he is a minority thus he can say what he wants. Everyone in the army or working for the army (or US government in general) knows this but I guess he isn't taking any chances.
Technically being a werewolf can be passed on from parents as we saw in teen wolf. So if Frank's dick were to have been scavenged from a lycanthrope he could potentially impregnate a vampire because twilight and then you would have a werewolf child. Frank could be composed of anyone. No one ever really examines his genitals or asks where they came from. It could happen.
Was it directed at me? My point is (having lived in different parts of the south not unlike Anc) you can't judge the whole south by just one part of it. Zip codes matter here just as they do anywhere.
No you can't. Just as judging a whole area of the country as the same isn't a good idea. Not sure why what I said is a bad thing. It happens and there have been articles over the last year on people's perceptions of fly over country.
Because most of the writers and publishers don't live in (or work out of) flyover country. And that term flyover country is almost the size of a continent - many different types of people with many different histories. I bet the democrats won't make that mistake again.
Everyone is racist these days, even if subconsciously. It stains us all from our imperfect upbringing. The best we can do is become conscious of it and work daily to overcome it, so the narrative goes. Remarkably similar to the Christian concept of Original Sin.
Sort of, but not really. Man's "original sin" was realizing the concept of good versus evil. In other words thinking, using his brain, for "being human" so to speak. To fully overcome that would be to stop being human. Racism is something that can only be overcome by using our brains. Then again if we as humans do truly unite "as one" we risk god's wrath again: the Tower Of Babel. Mankind had become so smart and effective that they tried to build a tower to heaven. So god said (I'm paraphrasing here, I can't do the god accent for shit) "because they have come together as a mighty force NOTHING THAT THEY TRY TO DO WILL EVER BE BEYOND THEIR ABILITY" so god was threatened and brought down the tower. Seriously, does god have some serious psychological problems or what? He's all over the map when you try to figure him out. Like the Tom Waits song Heart Attack and Vine goes....... "there ain't no devil, that's just god when he's drunk!"
I remember going into CVS with a friend of mine. We got our stuff and he was paying so he read the cashier's name off her nametag and thanked her by name. The nametag read shanequa. He pronounced it shaneequa, and she got all offended and told him it was Shane qua. She was mad the dumb white people could not pronounce her name right. There was all sorts of fucked in that encounter.
Totally random side tangent, but it really freaks me out when I have to wear a name tag and someone I don't know calls me by my name. Not sure why, but it just gives me a icky vibe.
If you want to really see some "holy shit how do you pronounce that?" names purchase a copy of The Jail Report. Granted it might only be a southern thing, but damn you will see some names that will blow....your...mind. Here's a link, but trust me - you have to buy a printed copy to get the full effect of some of these names that are so outlandish you swear it just has to be made up. https://www.facebook.com/thejailreport/
I think it was a provocation aka fucking with me just to see what happens. I'll ask her since we'll go for a drink later
