It was African booty snatcher where I'm from, maybe it's regional.
There were no African immigrants in my school. That name was applied to anyone
But it was thought to be particularly funny when the person was dark or had natural hair.
I could see how African kids would think that name was made up for them though :wow:

Like you knew what a c00n was at 12:mjlol:
12 is not a newborn, at 12 you are in 6th grade, 12 is preteen. Most kids today have email and instagram at 12. At 12 I knew what career I would be in that I am today. Yes I knew what a c00n was at 20.

right now

i never see you have the same vitriol for whites...you know the people that actually enslaved you

Black people were enslaved in Africa by other Africans. Africans sold Africans to the White man. The funny part is now seeing the descendants of Africans now coming to America trying to make it after AAs have made a path for them. Are Africans appreciative of AAs efforts? Some of them are, but a lot of them just talk shyt.

My vitriol for whites is worse. I don't deal with them unless required. They don't want to deal with AAs so I don't want to deal with them.
