3Chics is going to break it down and translate what Rick Santorum meant with the “snob” comment about President Obama wanting everyone to attend college. We are fluent in explaining and interpreting the dog whistles and Lil Ricky is playing to the uninformed and uneducated electorate.
Rick Santorum–Flashback 2006
Rick Santorum 2012: Obama “A Snob” For Wanting Everyone To Go To College
Translation: Obama is an uppity nigger trying to make colleges affordable so other uppity niggers and brown people can go to college and therefore encouraging them to think they TOO might become President of the United States! What a SNOB!
So only Rick Santorum and his kids should get the benefits of a college education? The rabid, UNEDUCATED base may buy into this, because let’s be honest here. No SANE Black person would ever buy into this bullshit about college-educated =SNOBBERY. Not after what our ancestors and we have had to contend within this RACIST society.
we are the only people for whom learning how to read was once a CRIME.
AND, you don’t think we don’t know how important education is?
all you rubes…yes, you listen to Little Ricky..
me and mine?
gonna try and get as many Black kids in and through college as possible.
we are the only people for whom learning how to read was once a CRIME.

Reading by slaves illegal
Some Slavery Codes made teaching, Mulatto, Indian and indentured slaves illegal.[2]
Alabama, 1833, section 31 – “Any person or persons who attempt to teach any free person of color, or slave, to spell, read, or write, shall, upon conviction thereof by indictment, be fined in a sum not less than two hundred and fifty dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars.”
Alabama, 1833, section 32 – “Any free person of color who shall write for any slave a pass or free paper, on conviction thereof, shall receive for every such offense, thirty-nine lashes on the bare back, and leave the state of Alabama within thirty days thereafter…”
Alabama, 1833, section 33 – “Any slave who shall write for any other slave, any pass or free-paper, upon conviction, shall receive, on his or her back, one hundred lashes for the first offence, and seven hundred lashes for every offence thereafter…”
Yes; YT likes to do this:
Too late, MOFO.
So glad 3 Chics weighed in on this fuckery, SG2. Please, when is the spaceship going to return and pick up these racist, hateful scumbags.
When will these clowns get it? They can’t pull a fast on us. We recognize the dog whistle when it’s sent. And we will call them on it!
Thanks for breaking it down, SouthernGirl2. The far right nuts think we’re stupid and don’t know what they’re really saying. If it were left up to me, every kid in America would pursue some education beyond high school. I graduated from college, earned multiple advanced degrees and made sure my kid earned her college degree because there’s real value in educating one’s self. Off to tweet this!!
Hey Majii!
Good to see you. An education is forever and no one can take it away! We know what’s up!
