You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

Y'all go always find the audacity needed to try and put a black person in their place. It never fails. Just another fake ally for a ride and less repercussions.

This screams Mississippi. Cause why I feel my granny's spirit in this.

"If it was a snake it would have bit ya, and if it was a cow it would have kicked ya. N you'd still sit there."

You got the full phrase on real obvious items. Usually just line 1 or 2 if you couldn't find something.

My grandma used to say, "You aint looked passed your elbows!" when we'd say we couldn't find something.

A white homeless man (to my immediate impression)asked me in front of my fellow working sista.

"DO YOU HAVE CRACK?"

*realizing this is fluent english speaking white crackhead*

Lesson: Don't talk to Cubs fans.
