    You may want to check in on the stats of places like Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana when it comes to voter suppression. Shit, Ohio serves as the intellectual birth place of recent efforts to suppress voters.  And as far as segregated schools and neighborhoods go it's a verifiable fact that the north is more segregated today.  This is partly due to the fact that the south was forced to desegregate under judicial order,  but the end result is that the south is less segregated than the north.  

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-not-dixies-fault/2015/07/17/7bf77a2e-2bd6-11e5-bd33-395c05608059_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.997b138a02d3

    The southernification of the North is a problem. Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin all have something in common. That discussion belongs on a different board. Indiana, once home of the KKK, is practically a Confederate State.

    See what's happening in Georgia. Checkmate.

    Yankees are pretty fucking racist.  But they don't take that racism and create racist policies that disenfranchise black people from voting. 

    Southerners are pretty fucking racist too. Like I said, there are racists everywhere. We're a white-dominated society. The abolitionists in the North didn't make up 100% of the population. There are still a lot of racists in the Union States. Those States still voted for a black president.

    No they just have a much more exhaustive and recent history of segregating the shit out of black people and choking off any chance of assimilation and the development of commerce within their communities which in all reality has much more impact on the disparities we see today than fucking slavery. The south today is much less segregated now than the north in every way that matters.  

    "In every way that matters?" Bullshit. That's doublespeak. Which States are taking advantage of the gutting of the Voting Rights Act to make it harder for minorities to vote? The same States that made the act necessary in the first place. You're fucking insane if you're arguing that the Union States are more racist than the Confederate States.

    For jerk chicken buy Walkerswood jerk seasoning paste.  It’s the real deal.

    Yeah, but get the hot variety. 

    ae672aea2acc43fd7d0cc2b900991316.500

    It's a very thick paste. You'll want to shake/wipe off the excess before you grill your chicken or the skin won't get crispy. You might want to thin it out with a little oil so it can get into all the nooks and crannies of your bird. The hot & spicy has a nice kick but you can add hot sauce if you want to jack it up further. 

    Here's the jerk marinade recipe from the Sugar Reef Caribbean Cookbook:

    1 Tbsp ground allspice
    1 Tbsp dried thyme
    1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1 1/2 tsp ground sage
    3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
    2 Tbsp salt
    2 Tbsp garlic powder
    1 Tbsp sugar
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    3/4 cup white vinegar
    1/4 cup orange juice
    Juice of one lime
    1 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    1 cup chopped white onion
    3 green onions finely chopped

    That's their recipe. I use a half dozen habaneros, seeds and all, a half dozen garlic cloves instead of garlic powder, brown sugar instead of white, more thyme, a little more allspice, and throw in a few shots of dark rum. I'll throw that all in the blender and blend until smooth. They just use it as is. There's a lot of room for customization but it's a good base to start from. It's really good as a dipping sauce.

    You just don't understand. They are coming to rape, rob and murder innocent old white people before the election and guarantee victory for the godless libruls.

    And no one in Indiana is safe from them.

    At least the bullshit notion that East Coast people are more progressive and accepting than the rest of us Americans is coming to a screeching halt.  New England, in particular, is so fucking racist-it's beyond standup comedy routines.  

    At least they don't have a history of owning slaves and rebelling against their country to defend the practice. There are racists everywhere. I'm pretty sure there's a higher number per capita in some States than others. In some States the racists even hold positions of power.

    He's talking about the promotion of fear, not the exposition of casual, daily racism.  There's pros and there's cons to the dissemination of information.

    White people in America have been afraid of black people as long as they've been dragging them kicking and screaming from their homeland in order to enslave them for personal profit. It doesn't matter if the media consists of word of mouth, the town crier, the governor, the minister, the traveling minstrel shows, Hollywood movies, or postcards of lynchings proudly sent by one racist white fuck to another via the U.S. Mail.

    Nothing has changed. It's culture, not media.

    But seriously, how insane is it that there is a horde of people moving in unison up from the panama canal with their sights set on America (if that is even true, but it's what I've seen reported). It's like an army marching and we know it's coming. Are we fortifying the border? Sending any parties down to meet them and disburse them or repel them back? What the heck is Mexico doing here? Are they greasing their path because NIMBY or are they actually going to help us? Sheesh

    What is the worst case scenario you can imagine when they get here?

    She’s a woman and an old unattractive one at that, of course she has no chance. Duh.

    I don't find her unattractive. I'm not hanging her poster on my wall but if I was her age and my wife looked like that then I'd be happy. I also think smart is sexy so she's got that going for her too.

    Have you even tried the "native american crab tacos" that she plagiarized for Pow Wow Chow Cookbook? They're to die for.

    How does one plagiarize a recipe for food?

    Here is my recipe for WhatTheBuck Mustard BBQ Sauce:

    1 cup apple cider vinegar 
    1/2 cup Yellow mustard 
    1/4 cup onion finely minced 
    2 cloves garlic pureed 
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
    1/2 cup brown sugar 
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 
    1/2 teaspoon salt 
    1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

     

    Sue me.

    And to get this thread back on track: Donald Trump is a fat, stupid, pathologically lying, treasonous, megalomaniacal, wannabe autocrat with a miniature penis, and 100% of his supporters are stupid, gullible, or both.

    Some of them are just extremely rich people who think they owe nothing to the society that made their wealth possible and which allows them to keep it without having to hire their own army to protect it.

    Trump and His followers are acting like they just realized that the gal who gave them a $20 blowjob behind Walmart is a dude, and so they are going to punish everybody. 

    It goes farther than that. Their motivation is that they enjoyed it and are going back for another one. They act out to compensate for their shame.

    Like I said, the anthropology is real.

    You're not just now discovering that, are you? I learned a long time ago about the Ignorance -> Fear -> Intolerance -> Hate formula, the eternal darkness of the tiny closed mind, the inability to reason with the unreasonable. How many times do you have to try and fail to teach a tree to walk before you accept the futility of the endeavor?

    Willfully ignorant simpletons like Chrispy derail a thread for pages and pages by making outrageous claims and then everyone wastes their time trying to talk sense to them. They don't know and they don't want to know. You can't fill an empty vessel when the lid is screwed on tight. 

    Like you said, there are tens of millions of them. They're not complex. Their dialog is easy to predict. Usually they're just regurgitating what they've been fed by someone else who makes a living telling them what they want to hear. The last thing they want to do is think for themselves. Their reality is dictated by what they feel, not by facts and logic. They're frightened by the unfamiliar and their fear makes them easy to manipulate. There's no getting through to them. 

    They're good to play poker with. That's about it. Otherwise it's best just to ignore them. Or sell them a pet rock.

    Like I said, 14 lines up with the beats too because it is 7 x 2, and the intro, for example, spreads the main riff over two measures, which does add up to 14.  Here's Bill talking about it, and he describes it as sevens across two measures:

     

     

    Mea culpa. I dug out Bill's book and it does say 7/4. I don't know why that didn't stick when I read it (although there were some coupons from a restaurant I stopped visiting a long time ago used as bookmarks so that might be a clue). 

    There's probably some conflation with Playin' which is definitely in 10 and counted in two sets of four and an extra two. The early part of Estimated, both compositionslly and lyrically, is in 2 measure long units. That in itself is something I wouldn't have ever noticed on my own so I must have heard something about it at some point long ago and always thought of the song as being in 14. I don't know enough to make it up. I'm pretty sure that's been my impression of the song for more than twenty years. 

    But when you get to the "You've all been asleep" line the 7 beat measure becomes more apparent. I've always stopped counting by then and just gotten into the groove.

    Checking the "Songwriting" chapter of Gans' book, it doesn't say anything about the time signatures of any specific songs. But it does include this quote from Bobby:

    "I just don't see why the bounds of popular music should be so constricting as to deny possibility of, for instance, odd time signatures or harmonic modes."

    That's a big part of what I love about Dead music. I love unusual time signatures, polyrhythms, unusual chords, etc. I couldn't begin to explain modal music beyond the most basic of terms but I can hear that there's a difference. There's so much more depth there than the casual listener ever realizes.

    Btw, I threw on the Estimated from Dick's Picks 29 (Atlanta 5/19/77) this morning because it was the last track on a disc and that's all I wanted to hear. There are three unlisted bonus tracks as filler on that disc. I never got around to looking it up before but the unlisted filler on DP 29 is from, you're gonna love this, the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, OK on 10/11/77. The filler on disc 2 of DP 29 is a scorching NFA > Wharf Rat > Around & Around. I believe that's all straight up 4/4 rock 'n' roll but it's pretty hot.

    I'm pretty sure Estimated is in 7/4, but I guess you could think of the intro as 14/4 because the opening riff covers two measures. 

    Like I said, I'm not a musician. I wouldn't know it was in 14 and counted the way I described it if the Dead hadn't told me. I may have first read about it in David Gans' book Playing in the Band. Maybe I heard him talk about it on his Grateful Dead Hour radio program. Or heard Bobby talk about it. And I'm pretty sure it was in Billy's book where he talks about the unusual time signatures they used (which would make sense). Playin' is in 10, The Eleven is in 11, and Estimated is in 14. Count it out as you listen. That last pair of beats after the first three groups of four is noticeable. On the one comes "California!"
