what the fuck, dude

Read them. The word comes up constantly in the storyline. It’s about slaves, escaping the life they live.
So very glad I was never one of them especially then.
And he’s a black writer.

And? Unless you quote the book it is a word meant to shock. It has no other usage in 2024.
 
Way to show your true colors there Trudeau.

Am i better off reading the Three Body Problem first or watching the series first? It's been on my "To Read" list for a while.
 
Meanwhile, in heaven, some underground railroad black folks are saying to themselves, "glad I never drove a station wagon."
 
Picked up Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne. About the Comanches and their fights with the Texas Rangers and the US military.
 

I suspect my point was missed.

There were no African Americans, no people of colour back then down there, those terms did not exist. They were called what I referred to them as and were treated like cattle. That is exactly what they were to the owners. That little kid above could have had mom sold before he was weaned. He could have been sold away from mom as well if he had good bloodlines. Adults were boiled alive. Hung from trees and left to die with their dicks cut off and stuffed into their sewn up mouth.

Good times for sure.

Always better to read the book 1st. That’s how it’s supposed to be. After that everything else is modifications.
