For gods sake they tried to say the term crowbar was racist at some point.
This dude in my neighborhood.. If I see him outside, I will stop by and vice versa.. He refers to black people as crows.
This isn't meant to be a racist statement, I am not referring to black people as crows, I am just saying what someone I know, does.. Which is sort of related to this statement.

As I heard it on radio, it goes back to blindfolding slaves to have unknowing incest to produce offspring with superior traits

The crowbar essentially dates back to Roman times, but these fricknuts tried to tie it back to Jim Crow.
They know no logic, only endless grievance.

Always trying to find more words or sayings to cry racism over.
Could we get a SJW or a BLM member to give us a new list of racist terms?? Mother fricker added.

Is this really true?
I seriously doubt that with how old the word "frick" is.
quote:
frick is an obscene English-language word, which refers to the act of sexual intercourse and is also commonly used as an intensifier or to denote disdain. Its origin is obscure but is usually considered to be first attested to around 1475, although it may be considerably older. In modern usage, the term frick and its derivatives (such as fricker and fricking) can be used as a noun, a verb, an adjective, an interjection, or an adverb. There are many common phrases that employ the word, as well as compounds that incorporate it, such as motherfricker, frickwit and fricknut.

From Wiki concerning Mfer
quote:
The word dates back at least to the late 19th century, with a Texas court in 1889 recording a defendant being called a "God damned mother-fricking, bastardly son-of-a-bitch" and in 1917 a black U.S. soldier called his draft board "You low-down Mother frickers..." in a letter.

Everything is being turned into racist. Next thing you know, the sun will be called racist...

This sounds like one of those narratives where there is maybe a very slight measure of truth and 99% embellished to support your homies narrative.

All of this is reverse engineering to make a nice story. Not based in truth.
The etymology of the word, IIRC, descends to us from the Germanic language.
Focka or Fokkelen, meaning, "to strike"

A few years ago when my oldest boy was in high school he comes home and tells me that his American History teacher (a black female) told the class that the term picnic was racist.
She said it came from southerners who would get together after church on Sundays a "pick a nig" for lynching.
Being an astute sensor of BS I went to google and discovered that it came from an Old French word PiqueNique which meant to have a pot luck supper.

Sheesh, slave owners probably have more blood on their hands then any other Americans ever. What trashy, worthless, evil, despicable, ungodly and unamerican human beings
Posted on 3/30/17 at 2:42 pm to StrongSafety
White slave owners have no more and no less blood on their hands than any slave owners.
So basically every race has blood on their hands.
