Well, apparently Ajax lives in a shanty town monitored by government goons who force sex change operations on children at school, so I can see why he’s upset.

The origins of the Haitians Eating Cats and Ducks story:

https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/loc ... 159844007/

If I had to guess this is actually a very old racist trope that was used during influxes of Asian immigrants (usually Chinese), to stir anger and hatred toward the Asian immigrant populations. They would be accused of stealing and eating cats and dogs (because cat and dog meat feature in some very old, traditional Chinese recipes) or accused of stealing these animals, in addition to park ducks, to serve up in Chinese restaurants that the immigrants had opened.

Vance and Trump revived this racist story and applied to new groups of legal Haitian immigrants who moved into Springfield, Ohio - to stir up racist sentiments toward them. Vance and Trump may were inspired by 4channers who created a new tolling campaign with two actual stories:

one of an American woman (not immigrant, not Haitian) who was arrested in Canton, Ohio (not Springfield) for eating a cat, and another, a photo, of a man clearing away a dead duck that was roadkill, also not in Springfield. They then revived the "Asians Eat Your Pets" slander that fit that narrative, tweaked it, and ran with it.

This, in spite of the fact that Haitians have no tradition of eating these animals at all. I'm fairly sure they figures it worked against Chinese immigrants, so it works against anyone black immigrants, because racists rarely use logic. And considering how many racists have latched onto this story, proclaiming it is true, in spite of city officials making a public statement that it's untrue - I guess they were right.

For example, this is what he posted today:

Do we need this insanity and douchebag behavior in the Executive office again?

Not the ducks, too? Protect the bunnies at all cost!

Lol, that’s great.

FYI for readers, Taylor Swift is having an impact on voter registrations - at her urging, over 400k new visits to vote.gov were logged along with 27k new registrations. This was on 9/11.

Yep! She linked to it from her post. She's my new favorite. Plus she rocks the Tartan.
