I commented on your post about the origins and agenda of 'racist'. I have a question as to the date 'racist' was first used. You have the date 1930, and the argument is it was first used in 1927. This needs to be verified so the difference in dates cannot be used to manipulate the argument away from the true agenda of using 'racist'.

ReplyDeleteYour first link seems to be directed to a non-relevant Lifehacker article instead of the title of the site that is mentioned.

I wonder how long a Fark shadowban lasts. I am the latest victim.
