I just received your superheated letter in regard to the bill I owe you. You said you thought the bill could have been paid long ago, and you could not understand why it wasn’t. Well, I will enlighten you right now.
In 1907 I bought a saw mill on credit. In 1908 I bought an ox cart, two timber carts and a breach loading shotgun. I also bought a wire tester and a Colt revolver and two fine razorback hogs and all on the same installment plan. In 1909 the mill burned down and didn’t leave a thing. One of the hogs died and I loaned the other to a Son-of-a-bitch who starved him to death. Then I joined a church. In 1910 my father was lynched for horse stealing. A railroader hooked up my daughter and it cost me $75 to keep the little bastard from becoming a relative of mine. In 1911 my boy caught the mumps and they went down him, so I had to have him castrated in order to save his life. That summer I went fishing and the boat overturned and I lost the biggest G-D catfish you ever saw and two of my sons drowned, neither of them being the one that was castrated.
In 1915 my wife ran away with a heavy-hung removed and left me a pair of twins as a souvenir. Then I married the hired girl to keep expenses down but I had trouble getting her to go off. I asked the doctor and he said to excite her about the time I thought she was ready. That night I took the shotgun to bed with me and when I thought she was ready I stuck it out the window and pulled the trigger. The wife shit in bed, I ruptured myself and killed the best cow I ever had.
In 1930 I burned out and took to drinking. I didn’t stop until all I had left was a dollar watch and kidney trouble. For a time all I did was wind my watch and piss.
The next year I decided to start all over again so I bought a manure spreader, a binder, a threshing machine, all on credit. Then along came a cyclone and blew them all into the next county. My wife got a dose of claps from a traveling sales- man, my youngest son wiped his ass on a corncob that was covered with rat poison and some Son-of-a-bitch denutted my best bull.
At the present time if it costs me a nickel to shit, I’d have to puke. Yet you say you can cause me trouble. Listen, trying to get money out of me would be harder than trying to pack butter up a cat’s ass with a red hot poker, but mister you are welcome to try.
Edit: I do not condone the usage of slurs in the original post but left it in for historical accuracy.
I’m sorry that you choose to place all your focus on one single word that upsets you and not just overlook it and get a chuckle out of all the rest of it. Again, I didn’t write it, just sharing it as is.
You must be real fun at parties…
I chuckled about the most part, I commented about the part I see critical.
Let’s look at an extremer and therefore clearer example: If I post a picture of my bookshelf, with mostly fun novels but also “mein Kampf” in it, without contextualizing or stating that I dont agree with it and have it for example for research purposes, it just normalizes having “mein Kampf” in ones bookshelf. Doesn’t matter if I am a Nazi or not, if I post Nazi stuff, I should get downvoted.
Stating that I am not the original author and the book is from a time where being a Nazi was a good thing doesn’t make it better.
Same goes here, although less dramatic.
And yeah, if someone at a party makes racist jokes, I call him out for it, I would rather be a buzzkill than an enabler.
Also looking at your profile you are a white middle aged american man with a truck, so not the kind of person who is discriminated with that word, so you getting buthurt for being called out for it paints a picture.
Yes I’m white and partly Native American. The truck? That belongs to a black man, I’ve been his roommate and mechanic for the past 8 years.
Both he and his sister laughed their asses off when I read it out to them, despite the N-word.
Yeah, we are in agreement that you can talk in private the way you want, if all are concensing adults.
You know how your friends are, they know how you are and how you mean it.
Possible that they reacted that way, because they know you and know you are not a (purposely) racist person and mean them no harm.
Saying things in public is a different story though. We know nothing about you, for all I know you could be the biggest racists just trying to find excuses to post racist shit.
After reading all your comments this possibility seems quite small to me, but I took effort to come to that conclusion.
A white supramacist could read your post and get the sense, that others are like him and agree with him that using that slur is ok.
So I think many would appreciate it if you at least distance yourself from the word, so its clear you dont endorse it (what you did in the comments after being asked about it).
That’s my 2 cents
Just don’t feed the trolls.
