Time for another dose of Lizzie Mae’s humor and horror. The names have been changed to protect the guilty because people really are that ignorant.
The sad truth is that these things aren’t old. They’re current. And this is why we need to remember, not just in February, but every day, that people do think this way.

We’re entering Black History Month in short order. I figure some reminding is in order, while we remember why slavery’s end and equal rights are important.
Remember: The questions are real (and shameful). The names have been changed to protect the guilty.
Comments closedI used to say the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask. I’ve revised that line of thinking, thanks to Lizzie Mae.
These first started hitting my feed around the end of last year, and I meant to get to them, but I didn’t, until around mid December when I was already deep in Advent Calendar Land. It’s embarrassing, sitting there, howling all by yourself. I wanted to share with the rest of the world. And now I am. Look for more of these throughout the next few months.
The saddest (most hilarious) part is that these responses are based on real life.
