It's a play on the sometimes true trope that hole-in-the-wall restaurants have amazing food.  I can personally vouch for several examples of this being true.

Unbeliever

Yeah, I've noticed that a time or two as well.

Slavers in developing countries better watch out!

Pity it's not actually illegal in the US, per se.


Skip to 53:34 to see this bit. It made me incredibly angry.

Yeah... Slavery never really went away. First there was the Jim Crow era, where bullshit like "loitering" was made illegal. Vaguely defined crimes that essentially just made being black a crime, so they could put them back to work as prisoners.

Nowadays, it's not much better. I used to come with my grandpa to a variety of state and private prisons. They were almost all black. Most of them were there for nonviolent drug charges. Not all prisons put their prisoners to work, but a lot of them do. Slavery under a different name.

Oh, and then there's the sex slave trade. Very illegal, yet alive and well in the United States. We don't have a tendency to provide meaningful assistance to the victims when they are freed either.

Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound."

It's just the colour. Otherwise the designs are the regular designs. They haven't developed. That's the joke I think.

Yeah, that's^ the best next thing to street food; 'dirty food', but you guys don't have that. Best tasting shit ever. And the bonus is a highly developed immune system, lol.

A great book, titled Slavery By Another Name details how slavery was kept alive to at least just after WWII.

Blackmon was a Wall Street Journal reporter; I was surprised at how well researched and written it is.  Well worth a read.

The major difference between blacks and my parents was that my parents weren't black. A black lady who "chopped cotton" alongside my mother delivered me. Her mother babysat us in exchange for lunch.

My condolences to anyone who understands this.
Yeah, I need to just stay away from twitter. Just a two-minute peek a day and I have lost all hope for humankind.

I haven't been on Twitter since it was bought by that billionaire, what's his name. 💩

Why are we still talking about that guy? I lost all respect for him when he didn't name his album Turbografx-16.
