Paraphrasing Butters, without darkness there’s no light. Without evil, there is no good.
The only way to appreciate beauty is if one has experienced the ugly…but you have had to have been shown something really good before. So…we needto take the bad with the good, so in looking at them, one experiences a beautiful sadness.
Well that would at least make it most likely that the meme was created by current niggers (you know use current idioms and assuming they were a thing in the past too)
Where in the whoring fuck did that come from...no fucking nigger would have the depth of conscience to make such a meme, it's more of a (((commercial))) agit prop.
That one White friend of jamal came up with it while smoking a blunt at shaniqua's crib. Or like you said it's communist propaganda to further take from White culture to upset the White people and cause more divide. niggers believe in magic so it's easy to tell them something retarded and have them believe it.
@Monica...and you are absolutely correct about niggers believing in magic, that's what VOODOO is, niggers are extremely superstitious...I remember one time in Jamaica when I was in an undisclosed area "of production" and I had to go into the upper elevations but before we could make the trek Iit was required that a "White" woman lead the way up behind the two machette choppers (they hack the thistle vines that overgrow the trails immediately after being hacked the day prior), the reason for the White woman is that her presence wards off the snakes...we know it's a bullshit myth but they are serious, and besides, it's their territory but they were loyal to me/us...QUOTE..."BOSS WE SLIT THE THROAT OF WHO TURNS ON YOU"...I didn't give a fuck what they believed in, they were vital to our "workings"...(another story one day)
Lol. The nigger thinks that white people can't have dreadlocks and doesn't understand that white people don't have dreadlocks because they wash their hair and not because it's impossible or that they have never seen it.

Either there's a Mandela effect going on, or I was absolutely taught the wrong story as a kid. I just looked it up, and it seems your version is the correct one, but what I was taught was that Medusa went around telling her sisters that she was more beautiful than Athena herself, so Athena cursed her to be hideous, and transformed her into something so hideous as to frighten anyone who looked upon her into stone.
Zeus wanted to bang Medusa, but she refused, and as we all know, Zeus does not take no for an answer, so he chased after her. She ran to the temple of Athena and begged her for protection from Zeus, but Athena cannot stand up to her father. And so Zeus raped Medusa on the floor of Athena's temple, right in front of her shrine. When he was done and left, Athena took pity on Medusa and turned her into a gorgon, an ugly monster, so that no one would ever want to rape her again. Not the way I would have handled it but the Greek gods were pretty whacky.
So, this is the Ovid telling of the story, not the original Hesiod version. For context, Ovid was a Roman writer, not a Greek writer, who lived several hundred years after Hesiod, the original writer of Medusa's story. Thus, the Ovid version of the story should actually use the Roman gods. Your story is that Neptune (Roman equivalent to Poseidon) raped Medusa and Minerva (Roman equivalent to Athena) punished Medusa for this instead of punishing Neptune.
It's important to contextualize this story, as Ovid was a writer who had problems with authority and was exiled from the Roman Empire. His mythological poetry is generally understood as a form of political critique towards authority figures, represented by the gods. That's why in a lot of Ovid's retelling of pre-existing myths (such as this one) the Gods are depicted as being massive assholes towards mortals, often including elements of rape that weren't previously there.
The correct version, the Hesiod tale, is that Medusa was a follower of Athena and as part of her vows to the goddess was to remain a virgin. She was so beautiful that Poseidon seduced her and she had willing relations with him inside the temple of Athena. As such, Athena punished her not only for breaking her vows but also for directly insulting Athena by having relations in the temple.
I encourage you to read my response on the clarification of the original Medusa myth. As to where the story of the sisters came from, I don't recall Hesiod ever talking about where they actually came from other than the fact that they were Medusa's sisters. Presumably, they should've stayed human. But I guess Athena cursed them too or something.
