everyone speaks in a Cockney Accent
Washington shoots a guy for it
everyone surviving immediately sounds like they're from Boston
George Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Washington
I want to read more of this.
AI is going to do this with our history one day.
That's certainly what we're taught in England.
Guh?
The old Internet was so good
The show China, Illinois did it for me.
Same people.
If you haven't seen the video linked above, do it.
Came to the comments for exactly this.
I read that Martha Washington was really hot
Go home, history, you're drunk. And stoned. In that order.
How many times do I have to tell you? Smoke first, THEN drink.
Just an fyi “we wuz” has some pretty racist associations in its meme resume.
Don't think that racism was the intention here, but I'll keep an eye out in the future.
Oh no not at all, just mentioning it so you’re aware is all. Edit: I figured it worth mentioning because it was alt-right tier stuff. If it were me, I’d want to know if I were unintentionally using something like that. Hence fyi.
I'm from the south and some of us just talk like that. Is it supposed to be mocking a race instead of just poor folks from Appalachia?
I think it is mocking a certain conspiracy theory (black Israelites??) by people who think all black people were the ancient Egyptians. "We waz kangs/ we were kings" is the phrase.
Since it involves black people, it is obviously used by alt right alt hist dudes to discredit and mock all black people.
