It'd do well for this to be acknowledged rather than the assumption that black folks would take on the ways of their oppressors.

What bothers me more than anything is the consideration that black folks would create a term that would encourage the route of chattel slavery and institutionalized racism.

Wypipo is bite-back against racism and policing within the online community.

Online interactions bleed into physical life nowadays and we need to be aware of it.
