Rhode Island: obviously racist because of old colonial history.

[Suu]

Read the OP.

The full name of RI is "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations", as we were once 2 separate colonies.

Blacks in RI want it removed because they think it's racist, since plantations OBVIOUSLY had black slaves. ALL OF THEM. During ALL TIME PERIODS.

No, goddamnit, NO! GET OUT A MOTHERFUCKING DICTIONARY!

Blacks? Really?

In Rhode Island?

It's more likely than you think.

I looked it up and it looks like it's mostly just two people pushing this now-extinct "controversy"; a white college professor and a black church leader.

You mean there are no angry masses?

No, the angry masses are the hipsters "mourning" the deaths of gays they didn't know on the state house grounds this weekend. Don't they know that gay rights activism is soooo 2001? It's all about the state name now. How ironic.

I really think this is a non-issue. Shouldn't Rhode Island worry more about its deficit, or its unemployment rate, or something more beneficial to its common good than making this "problem" the number one thing on the docket? Seriously, there are many more problems plaguing this state that if voted on would improve them than screaming "DAT'S WACIST" when you go to vote.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

Rhode Islanders need to separate the bullshit from the important issues and vote accordingly. This is not a voting issue.

Sure it is. We have a minority running for mayor of Providence (and by minority I mean NOT Italian), and they're filming the Prince of Providence downstairs on Washington St. as we speak. They're trying to get as much attention as possible.

You've lived here all your life, I've only lived here for less than a quarter of that and I already know damn well the state does this shit for science.

Like I said, this can be voted on, after everything else gets voted on.

There ya go, that's somewhat of a more important issue. Public transit. So, VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

Right off, agreed on your point.  People OUGHT to be more worried.

They aren't though.  They're mercurial and frivolous things, and when handed the ability to make their own bed are doing so ass backwards.  (not even commenting on quality.)  

We can see it happening, and noisemake on the subject easily enough.  Feel like doing somethng to seperate outselves from the moaning hipsters?

I think I'm going to go downtown with a big sign that says, "Screw this noise, can't we just merge with New Hampshire already? I want tax-free booze and guns."

I don't LIKE paying $2 a fucking bus ride only to have them cut lines. It's all we have. We have half-finished train stations at TF Green and Wickford so the MBTA commuter rail can connect with the MTA line in New London which will be HUGE for people traveling from Boston to New York...And I've heard NOTHING about when that's going to be finished.

Sure, they knocked out the I-Way in like...what? A 5th of the time as the Big Dig? So what?!

I don't know, the dead gay day thing is this weekend, but I'll be in NH/VT buying tax-free booze and helping Jen's sis move from Conway to Bolton.
