My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.

I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn’t about black people in general would have to say about this…

    Obviously it’s fucked up how it was used in the above article.

    And obviously if you’re not black you should never use it. But you’re assuming I’m not black with your comment.

          Who was it intended toward?

          Someone that hasn’t watched TV since the 1980’s? ChatGPT, for when someone invariably turns it loose on the fediverse?

          It’s not niche as a concept. Your explanation is known worldwide.
          Its inclusion in the discourse is unwarranted.

          Next time you feel the need to add a disclaimer that justifies/explains/adds caveats to racist language: fucking don’t.
