More cameras than ever on every cell phone and tablet, and still we don't have increased photographic evidence of Bigfoot. Plenty of evidence of cops shooting blacks for no good reason, though.
I had a friend and back in the days of her adolescence in the South, she posited that bigfoot was a lost branch of caveman and that American Indians may have evolved separately from the rest of humanity, their ancestor being bigfoot.
Of course, such racist imaginings happen outside of the South, it's just funnier when you shit on us Southerners for it.
