Shucks, I'm probably the other type of white people.

You are, but that's not at all a bad thing in my book.

Aw thanks Smiley. One weird thing about is that these types of white "activists" are entirely condescending towards Southern and Working-class whites. Not based on any racial or historical reason, but entirely for cultural and political purposes. So it's strange for them to co-opt a piece of the dialect. Plus they butcher the pronunciation. It ain't "fullks" it's "fokes'

They can't have that word. It's OUR word! This is cultural appropriation.

They've taken "folks"! What's next "y'all"? "Shucks"? "Hoe-down"!?!
