    I stopped dicking around with that and instead bought a couple of nice strong totes.

    I keep them in my trunk, and I don’t even bother bagging. Toss it all right back into the cart and load up the tote when I get to the parking lot.

    Then just n-totes to carry in, instead of n*8 bags.

    The trick is, once you unload the groceries, the tote(s) must be returned to the car immediately. If not, you have to put your keys in the tote and the tote near the door.

    Well, the normal kind of slavery usually involved some level of rape, and slave children weren’t uncommon, so…2+2=4…

    They didn’t see people or even children. They saw a n****r. They saw a n****r with a hole. A hole that they owned, and can do with what they please.

    Apologies for resorting to the strong language, but it’s kind of important to impart…we grew up with a very romanticized vision of slavery taught to us by the white American public education system. I made a goddamn diorama of a plantation in the 5th grade (1995). And put a happy little slave working the tobacco fields (my mom even crumbled up a cigarette and glued it to the board. It was a Misty. I can still smell it…)

    Using the hurtful word, in this context, I think is important to remind us of exactly why it’s such a hurtful word. The history has been forgotten by so many.

    I’d gladly use any of Carlin’s 7 Words in most contexts. That word is obfuscated for a reason. It shouldn’t be used anymore, except in this type of context, to remind us of our violent past.
