Seriously.
I don't know what it is but sometimes I get away with murder.
I have been livid over the lame excuses given to halt the SAVE act. The excuses over disenfranchised minorities really irks me because the minority bull$hit is a crock. I decided to be somewhat activist.
Anyway I was at Walmart and saw a target of opportunity. Some Black guy that looked like one of the guys. I introduced myself as a blogger with whole 101 followers that was interviewing people and I wanted to interview a real minority and he was darker than most.
Of course I got the WTF look but I appeared harmless. He asked me what I wanted to know. I asked him his job. He was a plumber.
So I asked him if he had a driver's license ID. Of course he looked at me like I was a space alien. "Of course I do! " He said.
"Who helped you get it?"
He looked confused for a second and switched to mildly annoyed.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
"Didn't you get some purple haired white woman to help you out?
He outright laughed. "Nope. I did it all by myself. In fact I even tie my own shoes. By the way, I don't like Karens either."
We parted friends.
Now it was time to find a minority woman to interview and That took a while. Yes. I was cherry picking because women tend to be shorter fused than men and many don't understand sarcasm, either.
I chose a fairly well dressed black woman. What a wonderful and polished woman she turned out to be.
I asked her what she thought about the 'disenfranchised minorities the Democrats were using to stop the passage of the SAVE Act.
In her polished English she asked me if I had ever heard the term 'jumping the broom'. I have. It's what slaves did to get married. The two of them jumped over a broomstick together. The custom goes back a lot further but the term is still used today, generally tongue in cheek by blacks. It means get married.
She gave me a smirk and explained she got her sense of humor from her father who put a broom on the floor during her wedding reception and she and her husband jumped over it for a laugh. She said there is a picture of it in her wedding album and had half a mind to bring it with her if she has to reregister to vote.
Suddenly Hattie McDaniel's voice appeared out of nowhere, straight out of Gone With the Wind. She mimed holding up a picture, rolling her head side to side.
"I's married. Here's a pitcher ob me and my hubsin jumpin's the broom!"
Needless to say I damned near died laughing.
I've asked over a half dozen so-called 'minorities' if they'd have any problems with SAVE. A couple of them have said they'd have to dig out their certificates but had a pretty good idea of where they were. Some have said they find the democrats pandering to minorities offensive.
