Did you know the term “mother fucker”
Originated from the slave men who were forced to take part in sexual intercourse with their mothers?

'According to Jesse Sheidlower, editor at large of the Oxford English Dictionary and author of The F-Word, “any kind of folk etymological explanation of motherfucker or motherfucking is not true” and “there’s no evidence of the term from slavery times and nothing to suggest that it ever was used in reference to slave masters.”'

That's not true. It referenced the slave owners that raped their slaves.

@SW-User there were breeding farms on plantations. There are several documentation’s on it. Also, i guess not all plantations were The sane but why buy a slave when you can breed new ones & sell them. 🤔 they were allowed to have sex, sometimes they chose who they had sex with. And there were disgusting and cruel plantations that invovled incest

@dinonuggies the whole topic of slavery is cruel and disgusting. It's absolutely horrific to me to even think about.
