yep, another of many districts drawn to perpetuate racism.

“Poor fellow, he was to high strung.”
“I am afraid it was to much for him to bear.”
“I’ll be his huckle bearer.”

Meaning he would help carry your casket by the huckle.
Houston, we have a problem......................
That’s on him.
Really.
Don’t come back.
