If it makes you feel better, I think I crushed the soul of a black woman the other day when I asked her why she thought it was appropriate to use the word slave in front of a Slavic person.
I had a funny thought the other day about which would be more offensive to call someone, nigger or slave, and imagined a scenario where rappers began a campaign trying to "reclaim" the word slave by repeating it in all their "songs" in place of the nigger word. "Sup my slave," "I was shootin' b-ball with a couple of Grove Street slaves," and so on.
well for the longevity and use of multiple languages taking on the slur, esclavus, or as we know it slave is by far the longest running racial slur in human history. The difference is slavic people dont get offended as badly as our more emotional counterparts who have demanded claim to the slur.
