re: #25 Eventual Carrion

Bernie, I graduated from high school in Mississippi. Not 90% true, but a large percent of that 90% are.

I spent a couple of years in Greenville when I was shuttling back and forth between my mom and dad. The first day there my dad and his friends spent a large part of the evening discussing the previous night’s news that a cop had cut off the ear of a black man with a garden hoe. Didn’t really seem to be any particular reason- cop just got angry, and well, there you go. Should have known better.

No charges were ever filled.

Racism in Mississippi is as intrinsic to its character as kudzu, spanish moss and the dead, moist heat.
