If you think about it, centuries of the same pro-segregation rhetoric combined with in such an isolated town make this situation easier to believe.

Also, the reporter seems to have stopped just short of referring to all the black people in the article as SPEAR-CHUCKING PORCH MONKEYS as far as identifying their race through the fulfillment of popular stereotypes.

I'm not even sure if the reporter had ever seen a real black person before he took this story.

When we had that 'Which American State Would You Get Rid Of' thread, and I said Georgia, you all said, "No, we need Georgia!" But this is exactly why we don't! See!? I was right all along!

Ahem.

Anyway. Yeah, this is pretty common knowledge in Georgia. And the funniest thing is that no one in Georgia seems to care that the proms are segregated.

When did Georgia surpass Alabama as the headquarters for comically villainous racism?

Azadeh Shahshahani, director of the Immigrants Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, said the proposed law “is not cognizant with the American spirit.”

It probably shouldn't come as a shock that Georgia was one of those wacky states that were reclaiming state sovereignty. 


I don't think it passed but if it did, would that then mean that the government had no responsibility for Georgia?   If there was some disaster, then they wouldn't be getting any aid from FEMA or the like?

Dammit America, where do you think you are? South Africa?

Hey, don't judge the whole country based on what happens in the South. That's like judging an entire family based on that one borderline-retarded cousin nobady likes to talk about. I'm pretty sure most countries have at least one region full of embarrassing people, although they usually have the sense to make them less visible.

Seriously though, we should bring back Reconstruction.

Don't judge the whole South based on what happens in a couple rural towns.

Remember, folks, there are many different reasons for hating the South. You'd be cheating yourselves by limiting it to one.

As an ignorant non-American, can I just apologise for never realising how bad-ass General Sherman was (and, as a member of the walking dead, presumably still is)?

I pity the idiot who's earning this look.  CONGRATULATIONS, DICKWAD, YOU ARE NOW ON WILLIAM T.'S LIST.

I like how when Napoleon sticks his hand in his jacket he's clearly striking a faux-heroic pose, whereas when Sherman does it he's clearly reaching for a pistol to kill a mother fucker RIGHT NOW.
