    At Bluesky I had to block posts with the word “Mississippi” and “Blississippi”. Bluesky entirely ignores many states except for sports. But of course now they’re doing an endless number of victory laps about the state because they dems got some Ws and they like Mississippi because it’s not so red anymore.

      It’s just a feel good moment considering the absolute poverty and sordid racial and segregationist history of the state. Relax. When was the last time you even talked about Mississippi on this site? Are you from there?

        It’s talked about just about every time Mississippi proves Phil Oachs right.

          What are you talking about? Are you now condemning the state for being prowar now that the black people won an election? Next up in the new left woke is talking about black people under segregation as pro war pro genocide supporters.

          Black missippians live shittier lives than some of the most impoverished people on earth fyi worse than people in the West Bank before Oct 7, but crackers are fine with it since it’s happening to black people (their neighbors) and not folks in some distant land that they can use as a cudgel against them

              It’s really, really bad.

              There are regions, mostly in the deep south, essentially entirely black, where raw sewage regularly pools in homes and gardens. There’s Cancer Alley in Louisiana. Similar conditions are found on some Native American reservations. Also, the US’s overseas colonies, most prominently Puerto Rico, have many areas of similar conditions. There are many dimensions and degrees to American poverty, but there is no floor. There is no level of human degradation and misery that is not suffered by millions of people somewhere in this demonic country.

            Are you not familiar with Phil Oachs? I wasn’t until Lady Gaga sang The War is Over in 2016.

            He describes exactly what kind of an injust klan infested stuck in time racist hell hole Mississippi is.

            Why would you infer this as being anti Black? I did not say anything about Sen. Scott Colon. Of course we will dunk on anyone who does support horrific things.

            We dunk on war criminal Deporter in Chief obama-drone part-of-history

            You asked when was the last time Mississppi was talked about on this site. I felt that we do post when injustices like what Phil Oachs sang about made the news. There is a search function. .

              I really don’t give a fuck about the democrat winning, we all know that will lead to less than nothing, just kind of put off by the kind of ahistorical cynicism this news is being seen with.

          What revolving coloquial definition of liberalism are you talking about? Is it the race essentialist term rife in these leftists spaces that’s used no differently than the way reactionaries use it or is it strictly the mode of production talked about in Marxist economics

        Bluesky’s block is nuclear which in cases like this are fantastic. But I do tend to entirely forget people like this…

    Bluesky

    Scott Colom is the first Black U.S. Senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction, the first directly-elected Black U.S. Senator from that state, the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from that state since 1982, and the first Democrat elected to that specific Senate seat since 1972.

    My eyes filled with tears of joy -and I am not a black man!

    Fuck man, me too and I’m not American!!
