Thread Name: civil rights farters
Subject: Folklore: civil rights farters
Contrary to how the thread name might sound,is a seriouse request for information.
Some one once told me that in the deep south of america during the strive for civil rights, our black comrades were allowed to attend, but could not speak at political meetings.
To show their contempt for this piece of injustice they would "fart" at the white speakers at the appropriate moment.
I have actually seen a bumper sticker from that period that say's " I FART THEREFORE I VOTE" Have scored the net for any info but drew a blank.
