The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)

I'm pretty sure Brown Sugar is about interracial sex in the antebellum South.  For reference here's the first verse:

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright
Hear him whip the women, just around midnight

They forgot this, the most racist song ever, the Ice Cream song!!
 
I was going to post a video about it, but on second thought I decided that wouldn't be the best idea.  

Anyone interested and possessing the most basic GoogleFu skills will be able to find out what I am referring to.   

NPR even did an article about it back in 2014...

Here’s one from CNN…and they conveniently left out that the dude (that killed the other dude, who is pretending to be a woman) is also black.  This is why I don’t trust the media.

I’d expect nothing else from them

Everything in that link after the .html can be deleted; the fbclid part is why you’re seeing the same ads on Facebook, Baseops, and wherever else you post links
