Braids were more than just style during slavery. Enslaved people used braids to communicate escape routes. pic.twitter.com/lg4DERyiSt

For some reason nobody is buying it. It's like they don't even believe lived history.

Probably not. In general things that try to be racial slurs "punch down" and slaves getting whips cracked at them don't have a lot of down to punch. It's most likely that it's some kind of inter-white saying/slur that became a slur later on.

Saltines aren't white though. Literally the first thing I thought it could apply to but I dismissed it as they're blotchy at best.

It actually refers to how the white people were obese off of the Black man's labor and would crack the cement under their immense weight when they walked places.

Shit like this used to get crazy traction seemingly every week. Another was the hush puppies being used to hide from dogs. As gay as elon is, he really put a damper on this sort of thing since msm never saw fit to challenge their racial superiors spreading insane nonsense.

Lol they think they had a designated barrel for selling whips. Right between the horse shoes and the threshers. Hundreds of whips in a barrel. High demand item.

The actual history is interesting apparently the hairstyle existed in Africa since literally the beginning of mankind. In America it was particularly popular among enslaved blacks on plantations and runaway slaves could even be told apart from free blacks because of how much it was a part of the culture of the enslaved blacks.

They made us watch Roots in history class, and it's a sign of how progressive our 99% white school was that it was a white Saffer that gained the nickname Kunta Kinte for years rather than the black Kenyan dude
