I am very proud to be niggardly and I am hopefull that it will lead to my ability to bring much gayness to others.

Yes, that was sarcasm.

Proust’s madelaine, Freeper Texans’ niggerheads and nigger oysters.

Both quite delightful, I’m sure.

“niggerhead oysters, very famous for the beautiful bright graphics on the label. For lovers of things vintage. GRAPHICS on the label. :)”

I was about to post about those. I consumed many cans of that stuff back in the early 1960’s. The graphic was no more offensive than Aunt Jemima or the negro cook on Creme of Wheat boxes.

I grew up going to Sambo’s to eat. I still have the book Little Black Sambo’s. Never even thought of racism as a kid.
