”Why y’all fussin’?”
Posted on 08/30/2023 10:54:16 AM PDT by Red Badger
A social media mob led by a race-baiting civil rights huckster incited calls for violent retribution after an allegedly racist cow won an award at the annual Wisconsin State Fair, forcing officials to issue a kowtowing public apology and blackball the offending bovine from the premises.
The cancel culture grilling started earlier this month when a fair-goer noticed the cow’s name and posted a picture on social media.
“We’re walking through the dairy barn, enjoying ourselves, and came across the nameplate and was kind of taken aback,” David Blake told a Wisconsin ABC affiliate.
“It’s one of those words, one of those few words that should be totally off limits. I mean, there’s a big one that we all know, and I think it’s on the same level,” he said.
Sensing an opportunity to kindle racial discord, the self-proclaimed Milwaukee’s Malcom X had a serious beef with the alleged racist cow and the white supremacists at the state fair who allowed it into the fold.
“Ummmm Wisconsin State Fair this s*** has to come down. ASAP,” Vaun L Mayes demanded on Facebook. “Quit playing in our face. We KNOW this term is derogatory.”
The cow, which won an award in the fair’s junior division for adolescents, was originally named Jigaboo, according to the image posted online. The largely outdated and obscure term would likely have gone unnoticed, until it was twisted into the twine used for a social media lynching.
“The ways they keep trying to disrespect us in our face,” accused one Facebook reply, while another demanded, “Dude what?? How many people let that shit slide? WTF”
The responses quickly escalated with calls for protests and a boycott, prompting officials to not only issue a groveling apology, but also boot the cow from the state fair.
“We do not tolerate or condone this behavior and took swift and deliberate action to rectify this situation,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The exhibitor who showed this animal was part of our junior show and is no longer at the State Fair. We are sorry this happened and was not brought to our attention sooner.”
The apology did little to sate the online mob, and responses grew increasingly violent. “Out of all places they better stop playing they don’t want no Milwaukee brawl nie,” warned one activist.
Multiple posts referred to the mayhem wrought at a recent Alabama riverboat racial melee, where one black brawler was seen using a metal chair as a weapon.
“This a chair special waiting to happen,” threatened one poster outraged by the racist cow, while another encouraged activists to “Get the folding chair,” and another called for a “Caravan????” implying a march on the state fair, or perhaps a protest at the home of the adolescent who entered Jigaboo, which the family was forced to rename “Puzzle” and offer a public apology for “the racially insensitive term we used to name one of our cows,” in hopes of appeasing the mob.
“We now recognize that use of this word is unacceptable and harmful,” the statement added. “Immediately upon learning the meaning of this term, we changed the cow’s name. We are committed to educating ourselves further.”
The response was rebuffed, with one activist declaring “The cap has been thrown and WE got chairs on deck. What are WE waiting for?” Another Facebook post featured a folding chair used as a beacon call to action.
The manufactured race-baiting didn’t go unchallenged and received its own dose of backlash, with one commentator noting the hypocrisy of the outrage, writing “You got rid of the cow, Aunt Jemima syrup, and Uncle Ben’s rice. Y’all are on a roll!” Now, how about going after rap music that’s offensive to black women?”
When a commentator came to the family’s defense and offered a reasoning behind the cow’s moniker, Milwaukee’s Malcom X and his posse of race-agitators couldn’t let it drop.
“The cow’s name is an amalgamation of the names of the ‘parent’ cows: Sire (Male): Duckett Crush Tatoo Dam (Female): Milgene Beemer Jiggly,” a post explained, adding it was likely “this pre-teen girl doesn’t even know” what the archaic offensive term meant.
“This is a slang term that has been mostly out of favor, especially here in the north, since the 1950s. So, please, put your rainbow flags and pitchforks away and grow up,” the commentator advised.
“So how u get boo out of tattoo. try again muddasucka. The worst attempt to whitesplain ever,” whined Milwaukee’s Malcom X, and was backed by his acolytes. “Disgusting and All they gone do is lie we’re sick of the reasoning and lies too,” aped one.
The racist gaslighting led one commentator to exit the Facebook thread, putting a cap on the faux outrage and misplaced criticisms.
“The real Malcom X would laugh in Milwaukee’s Malcom X wannabes face for getting his panties in a wad over a child’s pet cow name rather than the real issues at hand,” the poster wrote.

I can’t tell if this is satire or real.

Once again - reality gets the better of anything the Babylon Bee could come up with.
“I’ve never even heard the word.”
Like a lot of other things in this time of racial finger pointing, it’s a very old word that has been considered unacceptable for years. But as long as there are people, there will be efforts to create conflict...both ways.
If you are really interested in the origin, then here’s a site:

Dad named for a soft drink and Mom named for a crappy German car.....................
If Jigaboo had a calf, would they name it Pickaninny?
Just asking.
As far as I’m concerned, the activists should keep their cotton pickin’ hands off Jigaboo
I’m aware of the two different terms having two different meanings. Apparently I’m not good with humor.
Jigaboo?
That is the planet destroying Death Star?
You know, I would write it on some full sized poster boards and place it strategically around the state fair so it can’t be missed.
“COME SEE JIGABOO, THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
Keep putting them up so the progs and self-proclaimed Milwaukee’s Malcom Ten have frothing fits.
Over a joke name.
When the get there have a photo of a cow in the stall.
Camera, 400-500mm lense and an undercover assistant with a wireless mike set up to feed the camera audio.
Prepare thyself for merriment!

”Why y’all fussin’?”
Words, not sticks and stones. Crude, rude and insensitive but it doesn’t harm one hair.

For a minute, I thought it was a Babylon Bee headline!
I only heard it used to reference to a horse that spooked at everything intentionally in a battle of will with the rider.
Obviously used to prank greenhorns.
After all these years, I just now found out the origin of gypped.....
I always thought it had something to do with Jews
The little girl probably has no idea the word is offensive, but it is and her parents and the folks at the fair should know better.
Can you name a cow porch monkey? Didn’t think so.
Just not cool.
How would we know this? Rap songs are not peppered with this word. We only hear “Nigg@” a million times
Needed some “Whitesplaining”.
No. That would be considered racist because it evokes images of the days of slavery when the foreman who cracked the whip on the plantation was called "Boss".
Pretty much recognizing that none of this s-—t is going away until every single one of the PoC lazy mo-fos get a mansion, all the consumables they can ingest served by white folk they own, any experience this world has to offer, and unlimited attention from the most beautiful partners imaginable... without doing a dammed thing for all that other than breathing.
No thug or ho left behind!
