    It’s not that funny, though. Try making fun of the Alamo to Americans.

      Most of us would probably laugh, honestly. Except Texans. But fuck Texans, they ruined Texas.

        The Alamo, you know, the battle that a bunch of people died at while fighting to preserve their right to own other humans. The battle that took place in the only state that went to war twice to preserve their right to own humans…

          In all fairness, I think we should remember the Alamo, too, just not for the reasons that phrase was coined. Remember the Alamo, where a bunch of racists were killed defending their desire to enslave black people. May all racists find their Alamo. And may it not take two wars to put those racists in their place.

      Hate to break it too you, but American’s joke about the Alamo a lot. Like, I would guess 9 outta 10 times it comes up, it’s part of a joke.

      I’d tell you one, but it’s very forgettable.

        9 out of 11 tasteless jokes Americans tell are 9/11 jokes.

        And like that’s a recent tragedy. I can’t even tell ya when the Alamo happened.

        As a Brit, literally all I really know about the Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne once pissed on it while wearing one of Sharon’s dresses.
