Jim Crow, the old school American laws of the old south, which featured bigotry, oppression and a king-sized slice of intimidation and violence, has returned in an updated form disguised as James Crow.
“I was underground all them years, y’all,” James says. “Not in the same way them cicadas was underground, but damn near close to it. Like… I was living in a basement studio apartment/converted outhouse in the backwoods of Mississippi. My landlord was the ghost of Strom Thurman. Kindly fella. ‘Cept he smelt like an old corndog and Bull Connor’s festering third molars. Anyway, I’m back in a new form of bigotry, oppression and intimidation. And I’m known as James Crow now. I’ve gone through a few different iterations over the years. First it was Jim. Then it was Jimbo. Next came Jimmy. Then Jimbo again. Now it’s James. New name, same immoral bullshit antics from back in the day, weakly camouflaged. Yep, I’m coming out of my swamp, my Klan robe is freshly starched, and I’m ready to kick voting rights all up in the ass, y’all. Hey, call me James Crow!”
James Crow’s goal now is to push new voter suppression laws that are aimed largely at disenfranchising people of color in America. These voting suppression laws are being proposed and passed in many Republican states.
“Look, y’all, Republican’s ain’t got the numbers no more to win elections. Too many of them brown peoples in America. So, we is going to lie, cheat and steal our way to attain, maintain, and expand our power, by any means needs be done.”
James says his inspiration comes from several different sources.
“Yep, I’m wearing my confederate flag underwear, which not only feel great and are breathable, but they also cured my erectile disfunction. Now, I can spread my poison upon the land whist I masterbate to a photo of Robert E. Lee and David Duke… which ain’t easy with these hands. Hey, call me James Crow!”
