I see all you Keyboard Klansmen. All you Confederate WifFi warriors. You inbred Internet insurgents. Plantation patriots. All you Walmart white nationalists and mayonnaise militia members. All you broke-boy bigots. And all you sunburned MAGA gene pool rejects feeling extra bold lately.

I see y'all coming onto mine and other folks' social media pages like roaches, flinging the n-word around and calling folks monkeys anshit. Y'all do know how not innovative those slurs are, right?

It's so recycled and outdated. It's giving Confederate cosplay, antebellum nostalgia, and your great-grandpappy's last dying words as lynching victims escorted his raggedy ass to the flames.

But I know why y'all are really here. I know why y'all really mad. It ain't Black people, wokeness, or immigration, affirmative action or DEI.

You don't have any power. All you have is resentment and impotence. You know, deep down, that you'll never actually matter. And so you lash out at Black folks, immigrants, women, and anyone who isn't drowning the same fetid pool of mediocrity as you. Y'all punch at us because you're too cowardly and spineless to confront the fact that your failures are entirely your own.

Your factory jobs are gone. Your birth rates are tanking. Your women don't want you. Your opioid crisis is wiping you out. Your suicide rates are skyrocketing. MAGA masculinity promised you power, but all you've gotten is loneliness, failure, and a sh*tg*n to the head.

Your heritage is a pitiful joke. Trump conned you. Your GOP overlords are exploiting you. They snatched your pensions. Your kids don't even like you and even they see you as the dead weight of history. Nobody is scared of you anymore. No one is catering to you. Every census reminds you that time is running out.

So go ahead, degenerates, call me the n-word. I don't care how many times you say it, or how loud you say it, it won't bring back the world you lost. You still won't be shit. You'll still be broke and stupid.

Evolution is still winning.

Calling me the n-word confirms your desperation. It's your last, pathetic attempt to feel superior while drowning in your own irrelevance as you take that steady march towards your genetic winter.

WOW. I did not think people were actually trying to relive the 19th century with racist screeds like these. I feel genuine sorrow for the pain you must hold in your heart to write about fellow human beings with such disdain. Black people deserve to thrive in Maine -- along with anyone else who chooses to call our state home.
