On this episode, Ginger talks about an event in history that bears no similarity to current events whatsoever.
The Wilmington Massacre, also known as the Wilmington Race Riot by people who think “cracker” is just as bad as the n-word, was the only successful coup d’etat in American history (hopefully). To sum up: it’s about white people terrorizing black people for things like voting, having jobs, and giving white women all the orgasms they deserve. Featuring Elizabeth from Knoxville, moustache rides, and the worst game ever of F***, Marry, Kill.
Self Care Plan
From Ginger’s own self-care toolbox!
- Look up possum memes. There’s lots on our Facebook page. They transcend politics.
- Did you know that most distilled liquor has no carbs? I didn’t either before my boss told me like a month ago and it has opened up a whole new world to me.
- Be very wary of anyone who tells you what you MUST do to be a good member of any group. There are few absolutes in this world and at the end of the day, you get to draft your own identity. You are more than the groups you belong to.
- Donate to the NAACP because JFC.
