      Oh, I absolutely know it’s not new. Long ago, I thought that Uncle Ruckus in the Boondocks was an absurd fictionalized character. But people like that absolutely exist.

        I don’t often get to talk about this because I’m a straight white guy from the south with a thick accent. I ain’t upset about it because I would assume the worst of me too.

        I think it’s at least semi common knowledge that conservative/racist/sexist/homophobic white men often assume all other straight white men think the same as them and will say some wild shit on that assumption. Well it wasn’t common but I definitely remember a few black folks that may as well have been Stephen from Django Unchained
