What the....fuck?
Time to have a rewatch
My partner showed me this a couple years ago. Now, we'll be talking or I have a thought and the conclusion is "America" to which the follow-up is "want to put it on?"
It hits me harder each time I watch it especially how things have further eroded since then
Edit: I was curious and checked out the comments. They were surprisingly wholesome but I didn't scroll too far. However one sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found something that made me do a double take:
From:
https://allthatsinteresting.com/jim-crow-photos
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiester_Clymer
"A racist pro-Clymer campaign poster for the 1866 governor's election."
The text from that image reads
It's the writing style. If that is the type of material that one reads in their formative years it makes sense that it's emerging again in the twilight years
Ps. I'm sorry I spent so much time on this it just struck me and I had to explore. To be clear, I support everyone's right to vote but the above quoted message was demonizing that sentiment. Also to be clear, Geary was a white man and won that election
