What? I've never heard in spades or even spades in relation to blacks? Have they ninja edited the definition again?
Yeah I've never heard of such a thing either.
Yesterday 1% of the population knew a spade was a jogger, now most know.
They just keep digging up old outdated slurs and renewing them while creating more with their censorship.
Their source is fucking urban dictionary, which is somehow more made up than Wikipedia
I know spade can be used as a racial slur but "in spades" has never had a racial overtone.
Yeah, I think it just refers to the amount that a spade can hold. Something something "in spades". It's a measurement.
urbandictionary said it was more common around the time of the Civil War. I can't imagine how anybody today knows about it, unless they're just collecting every racial slur ever.
I'd link the urbandictionary, but that was literally the only useful information in it.
