Hmmmm? As someone with DARK skin, I'm like really offended and that you use DARK as like something bad? And like I'm really panic attacked, traumatized and genocided and such as?
People have been trying to make this claim for decades. See this case from 2003:
It seems that, at least for now, sanity has prevailed and any attempt at "BUT MUH HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO" has been quashed.
I've never heard of this. Holy shit.
Thankfully the judge had sense.
Good lord, it took about 10 hours to archive this. Over 7,000 queued ahead of it. Is archive.ph always like this?
Maybe people are abandoning the Internet Archive after they memory holed Kiwi Farms and protect Taylor Lorenz.
I use both, because it does not benefit Wayback in any way to have backup archives there.
Makes sense. Maybe my slow-ass connection has something to do with it, too.
I just didn't expect it to take THAT LONG.
Really? I’m usually a power .ph archiver and even on my phone it’s not much more that a few minutes
Often times you do have 7000 ahead of you, but normally it doesn't take 10 hours. Mostly 10 minutes or so.
It's not fucking racist. "Nigger" is what they called black people back when that rhyme was made. That's why Agatha Christie's book is also "Ten Little Niggers"
Wasn't this one of those things that was disproven? Like the meaning being picnic.
Naggers?
MUH ENSLUR
It's a terrible puzzle but only because the first four words aren't even real words.
They even have retard diversity hires on stupid ass game shows, huh?
This almost never happens. The last time I can recall it happening was in the late '80s, when a Phrase was "DESE, DEM & DOSE GUYS".
Even after a player revealed the very last letter, she couldn't pronounce it like the writers intended. It was apparently supposed to be like "these, them, and those guys."
Pat Sajak memorably had to call an audible: "Look, she's got all the letters up. I'm taking it."
Is this racist
