7/11 Uprising

Slave uprisings was a great fear of the pre-bellum South. Plantation masters were vigilant against any uppityness from their workers. Instigators were severely punished by the overseers with whippings, brandings, and hangings, yet three major armed insurrections occurred in the early 1800s with the goal of fleeing the Deep South for Haiti, which had successfully overthrown its French Creole hierarchy. Whites in the South went to sleep with an eye open and a gun at their side. Blacks muttered threats of poisoning their masters, who comprised a very small percentage of the whites below the Mason-Dixon line. I understand their anger at their enslavers, but cannot condone killing. I can approve of underpaid fast food workers dosing all the GOP voters with rancid burgers, fries, and chicken tomorrow morning to prevent them from voting for Mitt Romney. So c'mon workers at 7/11, KFC, Mickey Ds, and BK, give the GOP a case of the runs. It's your patriotic duty and hell you might even get a raise for helping the fat GOP white men losing some weight. It's for their own good.
