I'm sorry bruh.

I was caught up in the energy.

That's the last time y'all call me potatoes tho.

I'll buy you a drink and let's stay focused. It ain't about us right now.

It's not something you hear often but it's definitely been used as a slur against black folks...

When she said it I definitely felt like there was a possible undertone there.

Spoiler: I don't wanna interfere with the fight so lemme spoiler this

I'm overly sensitive about race stuff tho and I feel a lot of black and maybe brown people don't een know half the slurs we're called ; as evidenced by the moon cricket convo awhile back. So she could be ignant to it, no cape.

Secondly if someone black called elzo a roach, without the racist implications I couldn't rightfully deny the uncanny resemblance

.

 

[Dwayne]

Black folks started calling folks roach.




When you got a bummy ass nigga that’s always at home doing nothing but eating that nigga is a roach.

Or some folks say “You roaching”




Can we stop giving white folks credit for every name in the book. Damn.

I think that's Nola lol

We didn't say that In BR

Not sure. Don’t hear it back home.

But calling somebody a roach is.


It’s not a white term for blacks. Stop letting them take words and flip them.

It’s also a slur used against Latinos.

I’m not lettin’ anybody do anything fam...I’m real life sayin’ I’ve never heard that term used so I assumed it was a local thing

 

[Disanthrope]

It’s also a slur

So you admit you knew exactly what you were saying

 

[Az]

So you admit you knew exactly what you were saying

Don’t put words in my mouth.
I don’t go looking up slurs that are used against black people as I see you don’t look up slurs that are use against Latinos.
Stop reaching for something that isn’t there.

 

[Chicity]

Sounds like she was trying to greatly offend Elzo

Which seems to have worked

The monkey gif from the past and the roach comment from earlier removes benefit of the doubt for me.

It's a pattern of saying/posting some wild racial shit then claiming ignorance when called on the bullshit

Those are your own words. I trimmed the fat.

You were aware roach was a slur before saying it

Mr.City...puh-LEASE sit this one out.

Please.

The thing is when I say or post shit I don’t look at people and think oh “monkey” or “roach”.
That monkey pic had to do with the mishandling of the dog and not the monkey.
Y’all should think higher of yourselves but I have no control over that.

 

[Chicity]

I'll let this play out then

 

[Dwayne]

Y’all really let folks folks turn the word roach into a slur when it wasn’t at first.
