Motherfucking many years sold, motherfucking many years. Yep, yep, yep, there it is there, And yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the podcast where we died deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we honorly worked to approve the theories that you the listeners have at home. Bitch that I mentioned it's a mini episode, I probably didn't, but you know the game, baby, it's motherfucking Thursday, which means
it's a motherfucking many episode. And it is just as many and just as I guess, uh, motherfucking as all of the other motherfucking many episodes. And I'm excited it's gonna be a good one because today's episode comes to us from a person representing the Caucus region of this country. That's right, a Caucasian person sent me a message that I thought was worth diving into. And I'm excited to
read you this message today. It comes from a gentle person, A gentle person, let's say, a gentle person that seems very piece in today's uh today's times, you know, to say, a gentle person. We're not gonna gender this individual, but Greg which as a gender tone to it. But that's my antiquated brain kicking in. You know, that's me needing to grow past my own bullshit. That said, Greg sent me something he started with just Lengston Comma, which feels like I'm about to get a stern talking to. But
Greg said Langston. I love the My Mama Told Me podcast, and I have been thinking about this one ever since I started listening. I am white and grew up in a predominantly white area, so I'm having flash facts of how racist things were around me as a kid. One thing that cycled around in my school was that the car company named Pontiac was actually an acronym for poor old in word. Thinks it's a cadillact. Now, I want to be clear that Greg did put in word. He
didn't write nigga. I don't know the rules around writing nigga for white people. I think if you're sending it as an email to a black man, you probably should just say in word, and Greg did exactly that. So good for you. Greg. Anyway, he says, obviously this is pretty horrible, But I didn't know if it was a common thing or just for my just from my areas, figured it would be a good mini episode topic. Thanks Greg. Okay, So Greg, first of all, thank you for sending me this.
I had never heard of this before in my life. I think, whatever racist ship hole you come from, Greg's, this is special to y'all because this wasn't something kicking around in my Chicago suburb. That said, I was very excited to read it, not not because I was excited that people behave this way, but more because it did seem like a fun thing to dig into. And I did exactly that, Greg, I dug in. I did my research.
I spent I would argue minutes figuring out real answers to your hypothetical of whether or not Pontiac the the legitimate car company Pontiac defunct in two thousand and ten. I might add, but the the once legitimate card company Pontiac was in fact hiding an acronym. Poor old Nigga thinks it's a Cadillac. Now, as it turns out to Greg, to answer your question, Pontiac is not an acronym at all. That suggestion was not at all real. This wasn't a
secret acronym. The Pontiac line of vehicles was actually named after a legendary Ottawa chief who bravely fought against the British nearly two and fifty years ago. He basically teamed up with American soldiers and he was most known I guess for like sort of like uniting the Native nations at the time. That like, he was a dope speaker and a great leader, and he got a bunch of communities that otherwise wouldn't have participated in the fighting to
join forces. Now, in the Wikipedia, and this is important, it also says that the namesake for the city of Pontiac, Michigan comes from this guy, so Chief Pontiac. He was part of the naming of both the Pontiac vehicles and Pontiac, Michigan. Now I said named and this is important. It says in the Wikipedia that he gave his name to the city of Pontiac, which I find to be pretty unlikely, do you know what I mean. It's just hard to imagine he was. He was lying on his deathbed like
I want to give my name. I want to give my name to a city filled with with white people, filthy white people who will eventually claim that that my name is an acronym to antagonize poor black people none of us have ever met. And then he died. You know, that's that's hard to believe, that old Pontiac that was
its plan. But the ironic part is that Chief Pontiac decided to fight against the British because he is said to have realized that under British rule his people would no longer be welcomed in the forts, and that they would ultimately be deprived of their hunting grounds by aggressive settlers encroaching upon their ancestral lands. Now, not like the Americans, who, as we all know, ended up being super cool to the Native Americans. And I have no notes for you
white people. You nailed it perfect, perfect perfect is there truly put his faith in the Americans, thinking that the British were gonna do wrong by them, which they probably
would have. I don't want to confuse this. The British were probably gonna be pieces of shipped to the Native Americans, But unfortunately, so were the the fake Americans, who had already sort of made plans to steal all of this land from the Ottawa people and all of the other Native tribes that surrounded the Great Lakes and everywhere else
that they already lived in this country. Now, it's likely that the cause for this supposed acronym that you're talking about, Greg, and I'm sure you know this already, is that Pontiacs were sort of known for being a pseudo luxury brand. They really wanted to be a lot fancier and more classy than they ended up being received. They started out
as this company attempting to make like luxury sedans. These were these were cool, sexy cars for the working man, and then out of nowhere because and it's not out of nowhere, because they more or less weren't as welcomed as one would hope. They weren't sort of like matching the success of your Cadillacsia, Lincoln's, your Buicks at the time. They started attempting then to make muscle cars, and that's
where they found their success. They made some some cool muscle cars, but then you know, muscle cars sort of like uh, they that's not how you keep the business alive, you know, you kind of have to to be able to sell more cars and more functional vehicles. And by the time they ended they dead it out in two thousand and ten, they had to declare bankruptcy in two
thousand nine. Basically, after the the financial crisis of two thousand and eight, the company GM had to make some decisions and they were like, hey, you guys make bullshit, Pontiac, We're we're gonna kill you off. And so Pontiac, running out of money, had to kill themselves off. And it's a fair decision because by the time that they dead it out, they were making weird SUVs, like something called the Pontiac Montana, which I had never heard of, but if you look it up, you'll see exactly why they
didn't keep making that move. And then even worse, they made something which is objectively known as one of the worst vehicles of all time, which is the Pontiac ASTech. Now, I don't know how many of you remember the Pontiac Astec, but I'll describe it for you now because I had to read. I had to look it up again just
to remember why it disgusted me. But the Pontiac aztect basically looks like if a turtle and a Tetris piece fucked and then had a real weird baby, you know what I mean, Just turtle beating them guts up in a Tetris piece and then that Tetris piece gives a birth. I don't know why the Tetris piece would be the one giving birth and not the turtle. It seems like the Tetris piece would be easier to insert in the
turtle wherever turtle pussy is kept. But as it turns out, in my imagination, the turtles the one fucking and the tetrispiece is the one making the baby. I'm real progressive in that way. I can see beyond your norms. You're conforming norms, and I see something more beautiful, which is a Tetris piece with its breaks up on stirrups, as as something real fucked up like a pontiac aztec crawls out of its its whole. Now anyway, I'll keep going.
I didn't have to get that graphic. Apparently, these acronyms are largely regional and do seem to correlate with the things that people personally hate. So like your community, Greg, you hate black people and not you personally, obviously you don't you you like at least one black person, and that's all we ask, you know, That's all I ask of of any white person, like at least one you know, Well, I go to two or three. Just find one you dig and write them letters. Anyway, the acronyms are not
limited to just hating black people. Actually found a website that had a list of potential acronyms that for some reason are rated on the side. People have the chance to rate some of these acronyms, and some of them are pretty uh fucked up, just equally fucked up to that uh, the one from before. So there's things like puts out to Pontiac's nance for puts out noxious toxins in all cities, which I don't know what that means. Pontiac. People on narcotics think it's a Chevy. That one's funny
to me. I enjoyed that one. Pontiac. Poor old Nut thinks it's a Cadillac. Now we know, Nut in this situation, depending on who you're talking to, could be something else. There's poor old Norwegian thinks it's a Cadillac. Poor old Nutter thinks it's a Cadillac. Poor old end thinks it's a Cadillac. Now we know what that end stands for, don't we? People People of classy, normal thinking intelligence, acting classy Uh that you know, Yeah, it's it's a little.
It feels wordy. It feels like you're working too hard on that one. Pontiac pull over, Now the injectors are cooked. Here's here's the one that I enjoyed. Pontiac Packer Woods of Nascar thinks it's a Chevy. Now I love hearing a white person get called a Peckerwood. That's fun for me. So that was my favorite. If I have the option to rate it, I'm giving it a five stars. Baby, that's a great one. Poor old New Yorker thinks it's a Cadillac. Pontiac only never think install a chevy people
of native tribes inside a casino. That one super racist because it's actually a native name, paid overnight to inject air coolant. Poor old Neo Height thinks it's a Cadillac. I'm sure that's a racist word that I'm less familiar worth with with worth who can talk nowadays, who has the time to talk? Well, you know that's what I always say. Pontiac parents of nabline now now by loan take it and crash. God damn, that's probably some racist shit about black people. Pontiac, but old tractor traded as
a Corolla, and then poor oldies, not trash. It's awesome. Come on, people worked really hard to hide those acronyms, which in all likelihood were just long form ways of being mad at black people. Now getting back to some of these acronyms, it did make me excited that Cadillac and these other companies were treated with such uh, they
were revered in such positive ways. And so I got to thinking, wouldn't it be fun if there were other acronyms that that were sort of floating around in Greg's neighborhood, you know, like whit What if there were other acronyms for some of these other cars that are just mad at black people, like Cadillac. What if Cadillac meant uh con ass darky is licking lips at chicken. You know Cone has dark he is licking lips at chicken. That that's a fun one. Or Lincoln means listening niggas because
oh Fay loves nooses. That's I had so much fun writing these. Billick means uh, bitch you is couchie game? That one. That one's not racist, but it means the most of me. That was my favorite and I will be submitting it to the fine folks at Bilwick if they're still in business. I truly have no idea of Bilick still in business. They also make pretty shitty cars. Anyway, If you or or your friends would like to send me racist acronyms from your childhood, then then please send
them to my mama pot at gmail dot com. I would love to hear from you and and as always, subscribe to the podcast, review the podcast, write me letters where you can plain about my nonsense. Truly, it all means the world to me, and I love to hear from you. And if you don't do it, I'm murdered your entire family. How about that if if you don't, if you don't write a review, I I look, I threatened to beat your knees before, and he clearly didn't work for some of you. So now I'm just gonna
go straight at it. I'll murder your entire family. I'm not even sure if I'm legally allowed to say that on the podcast. We may have to edit it out. But if we don't have to edit it out, just know I'll kill everyone you love. Okay, I'll miss you and I'll talk to you soon. Bye, bitch.
