It’s the same thing that happened to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines, Cinco de Mayo, St. Patties, insert any and every holiday here.
Perversion of core values to turn a profit. It just so happens perverting American values like ‘freedom’ 1) makes people easy to control and 2) makes it easy to sell them shit like truck nuts for your american flag crocs.
My girlfriend is black you literal trog - she and her entire family are against using it because 1) it’s ugly and 2) it makes the person using it look ignorant.
Exactly the same for words like queer, though in this context you’re looking for the F slur - which you 100% should never use, period.
Yes imagine thinking that slurs are bad! Crazy take. Tell me you’ve never spoken to black people without telling me.
Yes you’ve made it very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about, and dropping melungeon is 100% a slur. There’s nothing to discuss here, but I’m sure I’ll see something in the future.
No I can almost guarantee I’ll be calling you out for some other dumb shit you’ll say in the future, that I’m sure of.
Yeah I won’t be taking advice from white people on my problems or race issues. Thanks but you should keep all of that to yourself.
Superstitious people are stupid, religious people are hit or miss - they’re pretty fucking stupid though, by and large.
I can absolutely say nope to all of this because I’ve heard only white people paint my problems as class struggles. You think you have any room to call me a bigot when you handwave minority issues under the big umbrella of ‘class struggle’?
Nope, you’re white and part of the people who are desperate to be oppressed - likely because you’re a Christian with a victim complex.
‘Reclaiming’ words doesn’t work - that’s been proven to be true by the current state of the U.S. . It’s historically a slur. Even if it had been reclaimed - you’re white. Stop using it.
Nope, enjoy your superstitions and acting like you’re oppressed.
So you’re white, got it.
when you don’t even know our culture or are even from here.
Don’t need to, wanna know why?
Ghosts. Aren’t. Real. Monsters. Are. Human.
Actually, quick question - what’s your skin color?
Appalachia is at least 80% white. It is one of the least racially diverse places in the country. Trying to suggest I’m somehow being racist is fucking brain damaged - educate yourself on critical race theory.
Edit: Melungean is a slur by the way, congrats on outing yourself
Incorrect, superstition is always based in woo woo magical thinking/ religion. I’m not interested in whatever bullshit this is, you can keep your ‘education’ to yourself.
I think all religion is superstition - if you actually read what I wrote you’d be able to put that together, but you think I’m being racist because you’re missing a few critical brain wrinkles.
Superstition is superstition - you can try to paint this as a class thing but ultimately ghosts aren’t fucking real. Seems like one part of the country gets that, the other doesn’t.
Where does JD Vance come from, again?
No, I’m saying people who live in the Rocky mountains aren’t as superstitious as those who live in the Appalachian mountains.
Idk if that carries over to modern perception of the place - nobody every talks about Four Corners being spooky.
Can’t these things be disabled?
Or, and hear me out, that’s all bullshit carried over from a time when people still burned witches.
Just saying, it makes no sense for all the scary shit to be isolated in the most easily accessible mountain range in the U.S. yet you never hear people treat the Rocky’s with the same mysticism.
Half white, half native American.
Yeah, I’m not bigoted - I just don’t have social media brain rot. You do, because you clearly haven’t put together that reclaiming slurs doesn’t do anything other than keep them alive.
