"That was common phrase used in the South during Jim Crow days. This sentiment has not receded from memory, or American culture. It has found a way to be silent, and express itself at the best opportunities to kill and get away with it. It expresses itself in fans during football games. It expresses itself in many of the murders we hear on American news, and is part of the humor of white men who define humor by how close their words can get to the edge of violence and mayhem, or the bizarre, and pass for funny. There is a spirit that belongs to this kind of humor, and it is given expression on shows like JACKASS, or Saturday Night Live, the John Steward show, etc..
In private Black men talk about this. We are very sensitive to it, and as fathers it is a whispered subject of concern: how to raise and train our children in this subtle atmosphere, and not cause them to behave like a Colored child growing up in the 1930's.". ~ Gregory E. Woods 8.30.12

Cheryl Peters, your reaction on Kick Ass pics, "Ignorance is bliss ya dum fuck." struck me. It struck a cord as I realized there were a lot of unsaid things expressed in the one sentence you used. I assume you took offense at the reaction of Bill Austin who said in response to that noose joke, "Too funny this is like the gift that keeps on giving lol."
There was something more in your statement, and looking at your picture I got a better sense of you. I could be off, but I think not. I like your boldness, and I think you take care of people, and speak up for those who can't, won't, or don't know how!
Good for you. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
