Ok so there's good news and there's bad news.

The bad news is that the synthetic kryptonite we made doesn't work as intended. Instead it just makes superman mindlessly horny. Like I'm talking 5 stars on the boner scale. No thoughts head empty all the blood is in his dick.

The good news is uhh... well, he's fucking the confederate statues. Like he sees general Lee and puts his dick in it like a butter knife through Jell-O.

What do you mean "how is it good"? City's are gonna take down their fucked statues! And if they don't, that's not really a problem because now they're not really confederate statues anymore. They're Superman Sex Statues. I don't see Stonewall Jackson (was he a confederate?) I see the night Superman had fun.

What do you mean why do I care?? Just because I'm evil enough to make synthetic kryptonite doesn't mean I'm a confederate asshole.

Permission to Rant!!

I will rant about something that involves United States history so this rant might confuse non-American Legendborn fans.

Also there will be spoilers so if you have not read nor finish Legendborn then ignore this post.

Towards the end of Chapter 8 where Bree talks about growing up Black in the South. She talks about how certain buildings, streets, or spaces were originally build for white people only. Bree mentioned a plaque dedicated "to the 'boys who wore gray' or a Rebel flag flying high out front." Reading that part triggered me.

The 'boys who wore gray' refers to the men (traitors and losers) who fought for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.

The Rebel flag refers to the Confederate flag.

***Bree lives in North Carolina which was a Confederate state during the Civil War.***

The Confederates want to protect the institution of slavery.

The United States (The Union) were planning to end slavery. Those losers and traitors (the Confederates) responded by crying like a bitch and separate from the United States.

Thankfully the Confederates lost but they were not punished severely enough for their treacherous actions.

Some [stupid and racist] Americans in modern times will argue the Confederates fought for "state rights" and it has nothing to do with slavery which is a load of horseshit and untrue.

Unfortunately in today's time, confederate flags and confederate statues still exist. People still fly confederate flags despite knowing the fucked up history behind it and what it stands for. In my personal opinion, people who fly confederate flags are either evil pieces of shits, stupid, or a mix of both. I have zero respect for people who own and fly confederate flags.

Rant over

I love how Tracy incorporates some aspects of American history in the Legendborn Cycle series and it is important because in the United States, many politicians even the soon-to-be president want to either censor or down play the horrible parts (ex: slavery, segregation, etc.) of American history.

If I said something that is incorrect please do not hesitate to correct me. I will appreciate it.

Thanks for listening.

Everytime Americans have a problem we just take a song and make it our bitch

The British: Yankee doodle went to town riding on his pony and he put a feather in his hat and called it macaroni 😂🫵

Americans: YANKEE DOODLE WENT TO TOWN RIDING ON HIS PONY AND HE PUT A FEATHER IN HIS HAT AND CALLED IT MACARONI 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲

Confederate scum: southern men, the thunder mutters

Real Americans in the same tune: WAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS RATTLE SNAKES AND ALLIGATORS

One of the biggest things I hate about the Lost Cause Myth (the whitewashing is horrible) but also the name?? Like if it was such a Lost Cause why did you continue fighting? Or even attack Fort Sumter? Like….

“Men, we’re going to lose this war, and the south will suffer for years. It will be horrible, violent, and the casualties will be incomprehensible. But let’s go on ahead and declare war anyways…”

Remembering History

If you ever see someone talking about how we can't remove the statues to Confederate generals because we'd be erasing history, remember this:

We don't put up statues to remember history, we put them up to honor people. They won't be history until long after we're all gone.

We shouldn't be honoring racists for their racism.

The confederacy was a big L, if you're gonna be on the wrong side of history, at least pick the better color. You're telling me in a fight against blue you picked fucking GRAY? Gray!? You thought gray v blue gray would win? You fucking idiot, you absolute buffoon, no wonder you fucking lost. You can't be racist AND have bad taste in color, pick a damn struggle you FUCK

In 2022 I drove up to Tampa to hang out with some friends, and there was a colossal confederate flag next to a cross right before my final exit. Today I'm bussing up to Gainesville, passing through Tampa, and while the cross is the same the flag has been updated to the final "blood-stained banner" instead of the battle flag. It's still the same racist sentiment, but I guess the property owner caught a bunch of shit and wanted plausible deniability. I mean, really, who flies the confederate surrender flag?

For a second, while the wind wasn't blowing, I thought it was the Canadian flag.
