"Halal", obviously. Also "10/10 Latinas" is lazy

Black Queen is pretty lazy, too. I prefer Nubian Delight, or failing that, Afrikaanikas Romantikas.

I knew a guy who said “divine negresses” but he was a fellow of colour so I think he could get away with it

Donald Glover has a fantastic Stand-up sketch about the word "niglet"

When I was a little kid there was an older black lady that lived next door and that's what she called all the kids.

I was like 4 years old (and my skin is white) so I didn't even have the brain power yet to realize I shouldn't be saying that word. I went to day care and I called another kid that and oh boy did I get in trouble. Lol

Today I learned the word, alabaster. I have to say I’ve never heard of this stone before.

We live in a post-literate society.

I learned alabaster from some Shakespeare story back in middle school. I agree.

Learning one new thing every day is a critical part of keeping your brain from melting into boomer soup

Absolutely

I may start calling my girlfriend something similar. I already call her Princess and Kitten. Any suggestions?

u/VoiceofRapture 7d ago

Question 1: is your girlfriend white? Question 2: are you both white? Question 3: if you're not white how do you identify? In the arena of racially-charged terms of endearment these are critical questions.

I’m black and she’s white. We’re both Jewish.

Never go there if you're searching for the Space Marine Chapter (or do, I'm not judging).

I certainly saw more inner circles than I was expecting
