I hope this does not get taken down. I am going to educate some folks just how bad racism was and not a great deal better now with White Nationalists wanting to go back there and rhyming we were brought up with not only in school but just playing with other white kids and in Georgia this was a common rhyme so many white kids 10 or 11 knew. It happened up North and all over the South but it was a regular ritual in Georgia and Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama. Racism is alive in America and people like DeSantis does not want the history to be taught.
Kids were brought up with these rhymes and were taught by racist parents and it never left many who grew to be racists to pass on down. Trigger warning and yes I still remember the rhyme,
I would have got a spanking for repeating such but trust me, I was in the minority of kids who would not go on the playground and say these things and yes this was before integration.
Ni.. er Ni ,, er pull your trigger up and down the see saw river
Snotty nose and raggedy clothes...that is the way you Ni..ers go
I remember seeing crosses burned. I remember seeing KKK in yards near us….I remember KKK rallies observed from main highways. Friday nights were big on rural towns for these sort of things.
These nursery rhymes and songs were racist whether people knew it or not.
Jimmy Crack Corn, Oh Susanna, 10 little Indians, and others listed in the link.
Donald Trump has plenty of supporters because the racists identify with his mindset.
I would bet he was one of the kids out there harassing the black children. Some of us survived this horrific time of Jim Crow and went the other way for equality but sooooooo many did not. My parents wee not racists but that does not mean I did not have aunts and uncles and cousins who were racists. They were. I had racist teachers. This is how it was in the 50’s and 60’s. I have heard the N word all of my life.
If you are a woman. If you are a Person of Color. Why in the world would you self destruct by voting for this individual who stokes hatred and racism and sexism? It’s there people. White Nationalism is very real and very much alive. It was not just in the south but the south perfected the hatred with so much practice. Women were normally controlled and beaten in those so called good old days.
When people ask what does Make America Great Again mean? THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO THOSE who are pushing Trump and Project 2025.
They want to put the non whites and women in their place because they got uppity after the civil rights movement and women’s movement. Women are racists as well. White Women. It is sick and in my opinion you cannot be God fearing and vote for DJT or any other racist or sexist rat. The bible says..
1 John 4:20: “If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.” These verses give us a clear message of how we should live our lives regarding hate. Jesus calls us to love our enemies, even those who hate us.
Trump stokes hate. He and his supporters want Jim Crow back. Plain and simple.
VOIE BLUE ! We are on the eve of destruction.
