The Cookout

[Nesut]

This guy goes through one of the poorest regions of the USA…Bluefield, WV. A lot of America is like this but it is never shown on TV. It’s sad that they have such a beautiful area of the country and they just let it go to waste. They just sit up there on welfare and get hooked on Crystal Meth.

What’s tragic is these people voted for those who wanted to deindustrialize America. The government used these people’s racism to get them to go along with policies that would in the end disenfranchise themselves.

It’s such a beautiful part of the country….I love the lush rolling greenery. But it is no place for a brotha. I had a coworker that wanted me to come out and visit him in West Virginia I gave him one of these:

Whenever I've had a debate with a white supremacist who said whites were inherently more intelligent than Blacks I brought up two things.

First, these areas of West Virginia as well as parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, ethnically Scots Irish and have been in America since the late 1600s into the 1700s have NEVER, EVER been successful. They have next to know evidence of any success, intellectual accomplishments. Nothing. They were broke on arrival and have stayed broke and stupid for 400 years.

Juxtapose that with Blacks. Southern Blacks, the most oppressed and least educated by design came up taught themselves how to play musical instruments and came up with Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, the forebearer of country music. Inventions, all sorts of intellectual achievements and you're telling me whites are more intelligent? GTFOH with that bullshyt.

These areas, the most remote areas have inbreds

On a sidenote, the opiod epidemic is the rare example of how racism worked in our favor.

When people were getting hooked on vicodin, percocet and other pain killers, the doctors saw it being abused early. And to prove there is medial racism, doctors wouldn't prescribe those for Blacks (and to be fair Latinos as well) but primarily blacks because they feared we'd sell our extra pills. Now, we went there with legitimate pain that deserved the same prescription as whites but they wouldn't give it to us with the same numbers.

Because of that bigotry, we didn't get on the stuff anywhere close to the same level as whites. The one time racism actually worked for us. lol.

Lastly, the opiod epidemic is the largest drug addiction in American history. Just by default if the rate and levels of incarceration were anything close to what we got during the crack era, the prison population should have minimally tripled in size and whites should make up 2/3 of all state prisons. But they aren't and their numbers didn't change much pre and post opiod. Why? Obviously racism in sentencing. They got sent to drug rehab, we got sent to jail. Same "crime".

What is interesting about these people is their red neck, white trash culture was pushed onto black Americans in the 1930s onward. It was done intentionally to sow disconnect in the family and create more of a struggle for our people cause we were out there doing too much. They couldn't have it.

When did that happen? You mean the stigma of being trash was pushed on us?

When cities were very "white" and "posh", a lot of black families were pushed to the south where the white trash culture infiltrated their families. By the time integration back into the cities happened, the hood culture was already destroying black families across America. This is why I say this is NOT black culture. It is a sub-set of white trash culture that was pushed into our people's lives. Black culture in America was historically about family and faith.

Of course. This is what the powers that be want. Drugged up folks are useless folks.

I agree. Some family members deviated from this.

It is hard to know for sure when certain things happened since we are looking backwards trying to connect the dots.

What happened in the 1930s that signified that this was the decade when this started? Was it the Great Depression?

Yep. I wish more of us were not narcotized. It is hard to make good decisions like that.

Yep. Your body would have probably been found out in those beautiful woods somewhere. Just keeping it real.

Yep. Look at how mentally slow they look in that picture. This is why they have to put things in place to hurt us. This is intended to keep us down.

Probably not but it could happen if I was being stupid.
