How do you know this has anything to do with the GOP?

He doesn't and it has nothing to do with the GOP.  It's just the blathering of a fool.

We have all kinds of "this race only" establishments scattered around my city/state. They never put it in writing, but the wrong people know they're not welcome.

We also have "this gender only" and "this income only".

All hail the tribes!

I remember asking where a wake would be held for the twin sons of a coworker who died in a car accident on graduation night. My husband responded with the name of a funeral home adding that it was the black funeral home. SC didn't ever bother with any sort of desegregation.

The GOP courted southern black votes when the cemetery bylaws were written.  They later bought the lean, but that's not working the original deal.  Democrats did that, but the voters were pretty much the same. 

Louisiana is one of those "different country" states.  More so than Texas or which ever state you associate with "they're not like us."  Current events and political winds notwithstanding, don't wake them too hard.

It's like I tell people who may see me take a fall, then twitch a bit . . . give me room as I wake up.  Lest England Dan and John Ford Coley decide to move in and change your life.

Time passes differently with gradient.

If you don't say y'all, you shouldn't say y'all.  Unless you're Mick and cutting a track.
