> [@Slash1972](#): > > Edited to add: Rush sucks! But not that “trouble with the trees” song, it’s so contrived and progressive it’s almost punkishly subversive. No less than the whites, IME. It’s weird. I mean, not weird in the sense that you wouldn’t get why black folks might not exactly dig white folks around them parts, historically. But weird in the sense that, as of 1996 anyway, I don’t think either side would lay aside it’s revulsion of the other, even if they knew the other would in return. I didn’t get a big sense of “…and we really hate racism here.” from anybody. I’d never known that level of inflexibility before and it baffled me. Hm…all of a sudden the R party makes a lot more sense to me. How very cathartic! And looook, right back on topic. I am so hammered right now… ---

Sure, but is it like “A black guy won’t hire white people for his business” and “A black loan officer won’t give a white guy a mortgage” or is it more like “White people have been hating us for so long, just fuck those people!” ---

To be honest, I’d never met any black banker types. Any Southerners please feel free to back me up or shoot me down here, but the racism I remember stemmed from “[generations of animosity], just fuck those people!” It manifested according to the position of the prospective fucker. Bankers didn’t bank, BBQ man hasn’t got any of that what else you want. White people go to the white mall, black people go to the black mall–that was a thing. ---

Manson’s a fuckin idiot, isn’t he? Last week I listened to Governor Roy Cooper give support to educators, in his Southern drawl. Rev. William Barber spoke after him, in his southern drawl. White southerners have a fucked up history, no doubt–but there have been plenty of southerners who’ve fought on the right side of history as well. Meanwhile, this thread isn’t the especially harmful sort of bigotry, but it’s a pile of dumbass. ---

Shut your mouth. I’m southern, white with a definite drawl to my accent. I’m not racist. Don’t generalize please. I don’t want to be lumped in there with that mess. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > You are being facetious, correct? This southerner does not fit your stereotype, and Marylin Manson fits in the same shoebox as Sinead O’Connor and other 80’s has-beens trying to get their 15 minutes of fame back. Marilyn Manson’s first album was recorded in 1993. And he had more than 15 minutes of fame, he’s an iconic figure of 90s rock and roll. ---
