Born and raised in the South, like my parents before me and theirs before them, I can say one thing with absolute certainty: Urban hellscapes are violent cesspools of debauchery, despair and demonic demolition. That doesn’t make the South perfect. Don’t get me wrong. We have our issues to be sure. Though we’re a damn sight better than New York, LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, and any other high-crime, low-trust metro area. Why is this important to point out? Because it’s high time someone spoke up about this plague of Yankee Unionmen spitting all over the South because it provides them with social currency. Whenever a politician needs someone to blame, or a celebrity wants to get a little attention, or a nobody suffering from Main Character Syndrome wants to be noticed online for their 15-minute window of pseudo-fame and notoriety, it’s always the South they target. There are a lot of White people here, after all, and White people are inherently bad. Remember slavery? How could you forget it! There are over 50 million slaves in the world today, including millions of child slaves, whom no one lifts a finger to help. And by “lift a finger,” I do mean that literally. You won’t see a single one of these “The South stinks!” terminally-online schmucks type a solitary word about their suffering. But when it comes to American slavery in the South, from a long bygone era? It’s as if they tie a string around their finger to remember to mention every day just how much the South stinks in their estimation. And the crowd goes wild for it! (Probably NGOs using botted engagement, but that’s another story.) On today’s episode of “Spitting on the South for Social Currency and Clout,” we have a spate of people on X (formerly Twitter) who’ve decided to pretend that one White person’s alleged actions mean that tens of millions of people are rotten. An entire culture is evil. I mean, it’s so bad that you even have guys named Mohammed telling us all how much the South stinks. “Vile,” “Evil,” Racist” - these are just some of the words they use when describing the actions of one young man, attributing it to his race and his culture. And wait until you hear about the actions! At Ole Miss, Commie-Con is taking place, where hundreds of aimless wanderers are LARPing their little hearts out in solidarity with Palestine. You probably know about this already. NGOs are buying them tents and food, and so the little consumer communists set up shop and pretend to be oppressed. They have no purpose in life. This faux “revolution” would be televised from the inside, if any one of the modern-Marxist do-nothings wanted to film it. But, no; Western socialist ideals don’t work that way (or work at all). They all want to be the director, not the person filming. Everybody a chief, nobody an Indian. Though let’s not get off into a tangent. The point is that they’re all camping out, trying to act as if they’re being brutalized like their brothers and sisters (who definitely would not throw them off of rooftops or bury them to their necks in sand and pitch rocks). No! These little role-playing revolutionaries are also attacking the American flag, and so a group of pro-American students showed up to defend it. As it happens, the only people in all of America willing to defend the American flag are White Southerners. Imagine that. I thought they saluted Old Dixie! Go figure. But long story short: The cosplayers showed up to harass the White kids. One morbidly obese Black woman showed up to verbally harass these White students, and the White students started harassing her right back, calling her “Lizzo” and laughing hysterically as she waddled past a barricade to approach the White students. One White male student – one, as in singular – decided to make a weird motion and belt out some strange noises. If you ask me, he was imitating an obese person waddling, with his arms out to his side, rocking to and fro, and hooting. Of course, this has now been labeled as “monkey noises,” and he is just a flaming racist. As you might imagine, hundreds of accounts on X have picked up this story and are pushing it through the social sphere with the same relative complaints. The South is racist. All white people are horrible. White frat boys belong in prison. Whites are destroying America. And on and on it goes. We’re talking tens of thousands of people liking these tweets, and folks crawling out from under the woodwork to bash all White Southerners as inherently evil because one, as in singular – White student perhaps made monkey noises. So, of course, spitting all over the South is old-hat at this point and we know how people eat it up. Though what crawls under my skin more is the selective outrage. This week alone (It’s Friday, May 3, as I’m writing this), I’ve seen literally over a dozen videos of entire groups of Black people attacking White people, like hyenas descending on their prey in a pack. One especially egregious video showed an entire school hallway filled with black females, beating the ever-loving snot out of a young White girl. I’m talking about over a dozen of them, pulling her hair out, kicking her in the back when she was down, stomping on her head while she was down, curled up in a ball, and begging for them to stop. But a White guy makes monkey noises, and that’s the “evil” on which they choose to focus. Not the dozen-or-so Blacks who attacked an innocent White guy at an airport and stomped his head while he was already unconscious. Or the five Blacks who attacked a White kid from behind and beat him mercilessly while he cried out in shock. These instances are all from this week. According to data from the Department of Justice, well over 1,300 Black-on-White attacks happen in America every single day. Cue the Elon Musk meme of “Let that sink in.” Seriously; let it sink in! Imagine a nation where Black Americans attack White Americans over 1,300 times every single day, and you might know about a handful in the past year, if any at all. And I’m not trying to turn this into a race thing at all. Nor am I stereotyping all Blacks as violent people. What I’m saying is that every single day in this country, we see race-based attacks happen that are infinitely worse than one guy, standing 50 feet away, making monkey noises for two seconds. Just think about the whole standard of fair play. If the monkey noises can cause tens of thousands of people to malign the entire South as backwards, cruel and racist, what would 500,000 yearly Black-on-White physical attacks warrant as a response? It’s probably a mixed blend between true believers in the “White Southerners are evil racists” stereotype that’s permeated our society for decades, and people who just jump on the trend because they know it will get them some attention. Either way, I can only say this: These people are damn sure lucky that White people aren’t even 1% as bad as they love to falsely claim. Check out any history book and see what happens to everyone else when we get angry.
