Glad to know someone else finds the term ‘folks’ as demeaning as I do.
“Glad to know someone else finds the term ‘folks’ as demeaning as I do.”
That’s the objective.
Years ago a black guy told me the problem with whites was you could call them anything and they weren’t offended.
That blacks need a word to call whites that would offend them.
He then proceeded to list all the names blacks had used for whites trying to offend them.
Honky, cracker, whitey, ghost, smoke, “FOLKS” and on and on.
I told him there was one word a black couldn’t call a white without starting a fight but I wouldn’t tell him what it was.
He tried for over 10hours, calling me every name in the book, to get the word out of me but I wouldn’t tell him.
Finally when we were about to leave and go home for the day he asked me one last time what the word was and promised he wouldn’t tell anyone.
So I relented and told him the one word a black could never call a white.
“Massa” as in Massa Massa please don’t hits me with that chain Massa.
