A Wigger is a White that acts Black.

The degree to which the white is subsumed
into the black is measured in Jolsens.

White skin is thick skin.

White people know 'sticks and stones, names don't break bones'.

White people can laugh at themselves and play along.

They aren't 'triggered' (unless they're liberals offended by everything).

So white people don't fight the stereotype because they're secure about themselves (unlike other groups).

Yak... yak... yak... Why doesn’t everyone keep their opinions to themselves and just STFU.

LMAO!

That would shut down FR.

I knew I could never really trust those Idahoans. Especially the Russets. They are so thin skinned, and just too white.

You could call them a vast right wing conspiracy.

You could ask them if they can get me a hunting license here.

You could say they bitterly cling to their bibles and their guns.

You could say they’re down right deplorable!

But don’t call any of them white trash.

It isn’t OK to trash white people . F’m, those racist losers. As George Wallace , the comedian says...Some people just need their a**es kicked.

Many of us who are actually “rednecks” are NOT offended at all by the “name”, as that “slur” (I’m an educated hillbilly from a county in Northeast TX of about 3,000 people.) is an OBVIOUS IDENTIFIER that the person who uses it is a HATE-FILLED MORON, usually a DIMocRAT extremist, a clueless FOOL & a “city kitty”, who is unworthy of being taken seriously.

OK. - I’ll tell you: You get the ADMIRATION of the rest of us “rural nobodies”, ex-GIs & other rednecks/PATRIOTS.

Is that enough???

It was a rural tavern built for the old wagon trail west, then later owned by a Holocaust survivor and his wife.
They even had the camp tattoos.
Very nice people.
The wife always gave me a cheeseburger and an Orange Crush when my dad went over to shark the other pool players.
[it was not odd to take your 5 year old daughter there, way back when]

The guy went in and for whatever reason, decided to share his belief that the hillbillies “looked like faggots.”

As an aside from, one of my Ibizan Hounds meant to harm him if came close to me so I reckon something had to be off about him, in general.

“...decided to share his belief ...”

Some folks just like to cause trouble. There isn’t any rhyme or reason to it; they’re just bad seed.

And generally they get what they deserve; maybe not then and there, but Karma can be a mean - and PATIENT - bitch.

He sure picked a good place to look for trouble, then.

Yeah... that happens.

People who go looking to start crap will eventually run into somebody that is more than happy to oblige... and usually much, much more capable at it.

Think of the lyrics in “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”...
