Do you recall those little cards deaf mutes used to hand you before trying to communicate further, the ones that explained “I am a deaf mute…” and so on? This piece of yours could serve a very similar purpose for us southern white boys of a certain vintage. I was fed that twisted mythology from the cradle and at age 65 am still unlearning it. Thank you for explaining the whole situation so succinctly, Sir.
