they know i bealive they did have slaves alot of countires did and im sure people use it who arent black
That's my point how do you know they knew
I will related my own experience albeit from a completely different state to R and country to J...I never learned about us history in my time and only learned parts of it in passing at university and in general
I don't think I heard the N word being taboo until that time either although I might have heard it in song
Not disagreeing with you that a lot of countries had slaves hell my own - china probably had more slaves than the entirety of the US but I don't expect you nor anybody else to know that
Which is why my point isn't to diminish any individuals experiences with regards to racism or slavery but
Why does one attribute certain knowledge of things to other people when we have never stepped in their shoes
