Cakewalk is racist and sexist, because black women are more likely to be fat (due to Donald Trump). Using words with 'cake' in them is highly triggering of food cravings. It is a clear and intentional attempt to genocide blacks and women.
You ever see that video of the overweight black woman blaming her weight on Trump and white supremacy? It was a mostly white audience and they were nodding in agreement. I would’ve loved to ask them in private what they really thought.
Back in the late days of slavery, a "cake walk" was an event during the Yule break where the master would get all of the slaves together, and whichever family group did the best/funniest dance skit would get a cake.
It's worse, no? Almost nobody today knew about that connection or made that connection. The meaning of the word has changed into something completely different and inoffensive.
Yep. Reminds me how I recently heard someone saying that we shouldn’t say “he went off the reservation” or “he went native” anymore. I’ve only heard he went native as a joke now
Cakewalk? How is that racist? Never hire these people.

I doubt there was much thinking. The social conditioning kicked in before a thought could even form.
Was a form of game where the prize was a cake in the day of cakesbeing expensive and rare.
That just shows people really have to do research to be offended.

But banning the word cakewalk is a fucking joke.
Thanks. Yea that is very stupid for them to ban the word.

Now we're back at step one.
