I'm too coastal, does "homeboy" mean what I think it does in this context? Just "good ol' boy"/"one of ours"? -- (edited) - con_carne Sep 26, 11:41 10
- good ol boy is cracker code for KKK -- nm - mr mooch Sep 26, 11:43 9
  - I never thought the dukes of hazard boys as KKK. Many in the town, yes. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 26, 13:10 2
    - they drove a car called the General Lee with a Confederate flag on the roof -- nm - mr mooch Sep 26, 13:12 1
      - But they also did not go with the flow of the area they were in. - Spawn Sep 26, 13:20
  - It's really not. -- nm - David Sep 26, 11:53 4
    - You live in the South, so it doesn't matter what you think. -- nm* - Strongbad Sep 26, 12:52 1
      - in my experience, it's not quite so insidious as implying KKK, but it's still not the best. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 26, 12:54
    - maybe not a card-carrying member but living 5 miles south of the M/D Line, there wouldn't be a doubt in my mind what someone like Clay Higgins meant - mr mooch Sep 26, 11:55 1
      - Unless he starts humming the theme song, I wouldn't think he's talking about the Duke boys. -- nm - Max Sep 26, 12:48
  - Well I didn't wanna just assume that these were inextricable. -- nm - con_carne Sep 26, 11:50
Bush said it in his book—he knew the Republicans embracing the radical evangelical crowd would lead to this type of nonsense. -- nm - Trending Sep 26, 11:35 2
- Reagan was Goldwater 2.0, rose to power with the Moral Majority. prolly shouldn't have been Voodoo Economics guy's VP if he felt so strongly about it -- nm - mr mooch Sep 26, 11:47
- I wouldn't say I *love* seeing evidence of this, but Public Enemy were right, RATM were right, Spike Lee was right. -- nm - con_carne Sep 26, 11:43
