re: #187 SanFranciscoZionist

Jesus, that’s a long and winding road. Let me sum it up:

“Our working-class white folks here in the south may sometimes be a little too plain-spoken, but they have been exploited by Eastern liberal eee-leeets for so long that they must express their righteous anger in some way. Of course, my blessed mother would have called them white trash for it, but I feel called upon to defend them, if not their language from the eee-leeets. Also, Charles Johnson is evil.”

Is that basically what he just said?

I think this is the nut of his “defense”:

Frankly there are times when a Southerner is tempted to surrender to the stereotype: “Fine. You call me a racist no matter what I do or say, so I’ll go ahead and be as racist as you think I am.”

This, I believe, is the temptation to which Patrick Lanzo has succumbed or, if not, it’s part of his appeal to whoever the customers of his restaurant are.

And he wrote about the same guy earlier, quoting him:

Pat Lanzo insists he’s not a racist.
“I believe people are equal,” he says, “As long as they earn their keep as well as me.”
Nevertheless, the proprietor of The Peach bar and restaurant in Paulding County says that people often mistakenly assume he’s a racist.
The main reason, he says, are the signs he posts outside his restaurant. “Damn Yankees May Have Taken Our N—-rs But Not Our Guns,” said one. “Obama Gives Us Hope Dreams and Maybe A New Holiday — Thats My N—-r” read another.
“The minute someone says the N-word, you’re labeled racist,” he explains.

Apparently, this bar is like a racist tourist attraction. Check the website for it.
