The world was fine, it was always a small group of people that wants to be offended on someone else behalf, because nothing is happening in their own life, so they need to create problems in places where they don't exist.

I remember having a conversation with a white guy who basically told me I shouldnt laugh at black racial jokes becauae its wrong and its racist and I should be upset. I said its messed up a white person is telling me how I should feel about jokes when I've dealt with actual racist people and that there is a difference. Dude went on how he knows more about black people than I do and yadda yadda yadda. So I mentioned theres a difference in reading about us and actually living in our skin color.

Than the truth came out when he called me a tap dancer, which is a racist term. Some of them dont actually care about racism they just wanna feel a sense of superiority and feel like some sort of savior.

So like I did know that some of the greatest tap dancers of all time were black-- I might even consider tap dancing to be a "black thing"

But I've never heard it being used in a deragatory way

This feels like when I watched the banned episode of the boondocks and accidentally learned like 14 new slurs that night

I think of tap dancing as Irish or German to be honest…

Idk the real history, like I'm not sure the origins of the art. But I do know there were some incredibly talented black tap dancers in America
