If we're talking Jesse Helms, I have to use this opportunity to share Audre Lorde's absolute filthiest diss track ever, her 1991 poem "jessehelms"

Written after Helms pushed through a ban on "homoeroticism" for US government arts funding, blocking queer artists' grants & citing Lorde as example.
jessehelms I am a Black woman writing my way to the future off a garbage scow knit from moral fiber stuck together with jessehelms’ come where Art is a dirty word scrawled on the wall of Bilbo’s memorial outhouse and obscenity is catching even I’d like to hear you scream ream out your pussy with my dildo called Nicaragua ram Grenada up your fighole till Panama runs out of you like Savimbi aflame. But you prefer to do it on the senate floor amid a sackful of paper pricks keeping time to a 195 million dollar military band safe-sex dripping from your tongue into avid senatorial ears. Later you’ll get yours behind the senate toilets where they’re waiting for you jessehelms those white boys with their pendulous rules bumping against the rear door of Europe spread-eagled across the globe their crystal balls poised over Africa ass-up for old glory. Your turn now jessehelms come on its time to lick the handwriting off the walls.

The #NCGOP has long been corrupt AF. Remember, this is the state that kept electing one of the most evil bastards in politics, #JesseHelms. Once Republicans won the NC legislature they gerrymandered aka RIGGED themselves into power since.

In response to #JesseHelms-inspired defunding of #SexPositive #SexEd programs, #ACTUP covered his house with a gigantic condom. He was not amused.

In 1989 Senator Jesse Helms pushed through a restriction on "homoeroticism" for US government arts funding and had the NEA pull grants to queer artists. He targeted Audre Lorde as an example of the obscenity that US taxpayers shouldn't pay for. My God did she clap back in style:

“But he didn’t want it to be hidden. He wanted public anger to encourage displays of outrage, hugely visible protest.”

#NorthCarolina needed to be more than stomped

It is still the state that produced white male redneck bigoted republican JesseHelms as its senator

Well at least this black version of white republican #JesseHelms lost in NorthCarolina. NC is a repulsive state that allows a minority to rule the majority

#NorthCarolina politics are the most consistently corrupt in most gerrymandered state in the south and #America itself. This is the state that produced the ugly evil white bigoted republican #JesseHelms

North Carolina can go cluster fuck itself. I will never go that state for any reason ever again

Someone told me that the late Evil #JesseHelms once called my Hometown "hippy hill."

High praise, indeed!

I miss those "Go To Hell Duke" parades!
