it was common in the Lx scene of the 60ies, 70ies and partly the 80ies.

for ideological reasons.

Why didnt you mention this sooner, @TaLoN132 Small world and all. 🙂

It's not something that comes up in regular conversation.

Maybe not in your existence. 😄

You should thank the bomber @Doc

anyways...Emily is one of those females who payed her church taxes for her bourgeois whiteness, by making her vagina available to the suppressed black man. Its one of the ways the maoist Lx can have absolution.

The more suppressed (antisocial) the black male is, the better.

I think part of the mismatch for me was that Emily reminded me (in appearance) of my mother. My mother was around the same age.

haha!

Damn... If you said that in public you might be canceled.

I say this regularly in the paper.

Only because it's true

I am sometimes front page news for this reason.

Not cancelled yet. Though...I have 0 net presence.

And I usually only speak of these people when asked.

In this case, we have a common acquaintance.

Commissar Yolanda. 😄

@TaLoN132 was your mother a 68-er?

hippie/Lx?

No... She was square. Grew up a military brat, met my dad towards the end of HS and they were married in 6 months - thinking my Dad was going to Vietnam. I was born 10 months later. Mom was 19 and dad had just turned 20. A few years later, we were stationed in Athens, Greece and my Dad managed to avoid Vietnam altogether.

I see. So its just the fashion of the era, then, because from that description I cant imagine there is much psychological overlap between your mother and Commissar Y.

they share nationality and age cohort

It's hard to explain. The woman I knew seemed a little off in retrospect, but otherwise normal. She had her routine. She went by Emily Montague when I knew her.

Interesting that she always keeps her first name.

Must be a grand-parent somewhere there.

Little Emily is still alive somewhere inside.

They have that tendency, though. To keep their first names.

other x-cons dont.

Mom was English (M) / German (P)... Emily Montague Schwartz - so possible German. Montague could be English... So, yeah. My Mom was a couple of years younger.

yes, she is ethnically part german.

adding to the guilt complex, of course.

Do you know if she still was in contact with her old comrades?
