appellation writing in about the ignorant south all right so here was my thing
all of this
came about when i was watching the world series and um you know i'm trying to
root for the braves
because they've been there for so many times and uh every five seconds they're
more on fan bases
fucking doing the tomahawk chop so i don't know i was just thinking about it
and i just came up
with this theory that you know maybe if northern whites treated southern whites
better after the
civil war or somehow got over the fact that they tried to secede from the union
you know the bad
blood ended and they didn't you know try to fiscally fiscally fuck them over
and have prejudices against
the accent and all that type of shit and showed them some empathy and late
night talk show hosts
didn't constantly do jokes about southerners you know fucking their own sisters
and hillbilly shit
maybe they would be more empathetic and when people said hey you know that tomahawk
chop thing
you know you might want to think about that they'd be like all right you know i'm
open to that um
it's just an idea i had right i don't read so this person is writing in about
the ignorance
appellation writing so he lives somewhere in the appellation mountains dear
billy turkey titties
turkey tits would have been better i still like turkey titties but turkey tits
gets it's you get the
alliteration almost three times because the e ruins the t titties turkey tits
all right there turkey tits i
mean that's fucking great that's right out of jerky boys um this this letter is
already a winner turkey tits
uh i heard your podcast where you briefly mentioned your theory that if northerners
were more compassionate
to southerners then maybe they wouldn't fly such blatantly racist flags or be
more considerate of other
cultures etc yeah basically paraphrase what i just said i've lived in west
virginia since i was around
five years old because i choose to further my education because i chose to jesus
christ too stupid
to read his fucking sentence in my language about education i still fuck it up
and because i chose
to further my education because i form my own opinion based on facts and refuse
to let social media
like facebook brainwash me you sound like you're fighting it sir fight the good
fight and
uh and a smaller and i a smaller percentage of folks my age aren't hateful and
ignorant like the people
before us all right something happened when you rewrote that sentence anyway he
goes it doesn't mean
we're not piss poor though uh what so many people fail to understand is that
places like west virginia
are essentially third world countries inside of the united states west virginia
specifically
was stripped of its resources by coal companies and while reaping the benefits
of coal paid miners next to
nothing and fought tooth and nail with the military at their side to stop them
from unionizing google
the battle of blair mountain see this is more that should be in the history
books
now here it is this is uh this is white people with uh poorer white people what
a surprise
um the battle of blair mountain b-l-a-i-r look that up uh if you want uh poor
funding across the board
from infrastructure to education is a main factor in what makes people ignorant
and hateful here
yeah yeah listen to me every once in a while you know broken clocks right twice
a day is what they say
i think i stumbled onto something a huge portion of people here don't even have
access to the internet
uh with a piece of shit like joe manchin mankin in office to represent this
place you know that nothing
is being done to help poor people the fucker just shut down the billionaire tax
even though zero billionaires
live in west virginia our governor big jim justice is also a fucking idiot
please tell me that's his name
um here is here he is reacting to covet numbers a few months ago i don't want
to watch another guy in
office just ignoring doctors uh the people that have brains and intuition to
make this state better
end up leaving because of all these factors above there's practically zero
opportunity here and i'll
tell you something i've been to virginia it is a gorgeous state absolutely one
of the most beautiful
parts of this country and the fact that you know there's and there's no news
even about this
shit or what's going on down there uh i could go on much longer much longer
rant about all of this
bullshit but i'll end with this west virginia is a beautiful state see filled
with untouched wilderness
and huge potential to be a state like colorado in the future if we did things
like legalize marijuana
and put money into the public education and infrastructure yeah in some way
there would be a tipping point
and they would just start building fucking glass towers and all of that so
i don't know they just make everything all corporate um but i i hear what you're
saying i wish
there was a way to just help out your state you know without having all the
corporations then descending
down there because people have money uh the reason that it's destitute is
because of the rich taking
advantage of our resources and our people huge fan of everything you've done
from your stand-up to
your character on the mandalorian i'm a little behind on efforts for family but
i plan to binge
it all once the last season drops i'd love to see you do a show in charleston i'd
love to do one there
um thank you uh he says i know both bert and tom are going to be here soon
uh well if those two guys are going there jesus christ i don't need to go there
those guys are going
to destroy thanks and go yourself so there you go there you go i like hearing
come on man everybody
write in i'll be like the fucking the michael moore of uh of podcasting except
what what i won't do
is act like canada is this super happy place where you don't have to lock your
doors
you know and nobody does anything bad to anybody there's never any riots
and they love when a person you know who isn't white plays hockey they always
have wonderful
experiences in the minors.
