Yes yes big bad n word bad word, I think these people fail to realise how common of a word it actually was to describe things back then, I remember growing up my grandma baking “Nigger Balls” which were fucking amazing, other grandparents had a dog with the same name. Probably to honour the og from the war.

Yes you shouldn’t say it now, but to deny it ever was used in such a common way is to deny our history - fuck sakes how are we going to see how we’ve progressed as a society if everything we look back on is doctored?

the point is to make people believe that we've always been this great from the start, and the only things we will remember as bad will be people like us who will claim of a dirtier history than what is sold in school.
