Armed Black Panthers inTexas

Paper bag test?

An old effed up way of separating people incertain parts of the country. I think it is a 50's or 60' term.
Am I right jrogers?

As a native Hoosier I can say for certain that pigs smell terrible and earnestly support offing them. Otherwise what am I going to have with my eggs? Turkey bacon? No thank you!

More seriously, I've heard that the BP asserting their rights under 2A is part of what led to CA's ridiculous gun laws as racist ____s panicked about armed people who couldn't pass the paper bag test. No idea if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me. I'm far too lazy to Google it at this hour though.

Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed anybody here would have a clue about the "paper bag" test. I don't think it applied to the 2nd, but it's history is based on blacks who were the color of a paper bag, or lighter, being considered more attractive, intelligent, or desirable. It's an old throwback to when blacks routinely observed the "white" standard of attractiveness, and fortunes were made bleaching skin and straightening hair.... well before Michael Jackson.

Edit: and you should note, that this type of discrimination was overwhelmingly used by blacks, not whites.

Good explanation. This is twice now, considering that you had to explain to me what a lawn jockey is.

If they like it leave right? If people left based solely on owning a foreign flag, and having a gripe with govt, hell, there'd be nobody here.

Did I say anything about them leaving? I just wonder why if they need a flag they don't use the American flag. My heritage is a mix of Northern Europe. While being very happy that my ancestors chose to come here, I feel zero connection to any of Europe. And yes Kut, I'm a "love it or leave it" guy. As far as I know, no US citizen is required to live here.

Interesting, who would have thought all of us here are not ignorant white wretchs here that know nothing about other races.
I would love to see the explanation you wrote for a lawn jockey.

I appreciate their right to be seen in public with guns. I'm glad that right exists.
