@pteryx @Khrux @kbal the man was so racist he *casually* threw out parables and aphorisms that were exclusively popular among explicit racists & fellow-travellers. [Like the "nits make lice" comment.] To be explicit, he was wayyy up in the northwestern end of the Rust Belt. Those casually racist Southern-style quips are not exactly native to that area, except among KKK, white biker gang, and neo-nazi circles.
