Horny History: Fannie Lou Hamer
It’s real history, as told by some horny dude in my inbox and me.
This post contains sensitive content on racism. Reader discretion is advised.
Fannie Lou was born in a racism filled hellhole of Mississippi. An area where, in lieu of being legally allowed slavery, white people created the system of share cropping. In this they charged such exorbitant fees for the rental of farming equipment and other things, while simultaneously paying the farmers so little money that they were caught in a circle of owing money to the white owners. Fannie Lou was tricked into picking cotton at 6 years old after a white man offered her candy at which point she became indebted to him.
There’s a lot to her story, more than I can cover with one horny man. Although the story I’ve told is violent. In truth, I left out quite a bit of the violence. It is astonishing just how much good she was able to accomplish despite the anguish she was forced to endure.
Before we start this story, I need to tell you a gross secret. See when men online ask you if you want a tribute, they are asking if they can cum on a picture of you. Sometimes they print it off. Sometimes it’s straight on another phone or tablet. Don’t ever touch men’s phones.
Like I said earlier, there’s way more to her story than a horny man has the patience to hear. So, let’s cover some more important things about Fannie Lou. While working for share croppers, she worked her way into a position of slight power. She was in charge of weighing the crop and keeping books. She was given a scale that was calibrated wrong so that the Black people would be paid less than they were due. Instead of using that, she snuck her own scale along and only took out the boss’s scale when she was being watched.
She found ways to rise above all that oppressed her. Although she lived in a time in which Black people should have had the right to vote, in Mississippi registering to vote meant you would face violence, sometimes death. She fought this physically by enduring beatings and mentally by giving the most engaging speeches convincing other Black people to try to vote.

I am very saddened to know the truth of her story, and I am simultaneously amused that he tried to hang in as long as he did, but horrified that his opener is proposing "tribute" to you.
I guess it's the third stanza of the "Here's to Honor" toast.
