        this stuff flew by because you weren’t the target of the racism. betty-white is slang - bet he’s white.

        because in the 80s when black people saw this shit, they thought it was fucked up; and the 90s, and the 00s. it wasn’t until 2010s that people started getting fired and doxxed for this kind of shit.

        But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t racist as fuck or not ever noticed. You didn’t care because you weren’t the target.
