The “spade” that’s a slur for a black person comes from one of the suits of playing cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs, SPADES)

Well. You just have to tell them what kind of task you'll be performing, and they'll give you the proper implement.

Sales clerk: "Ah, yes! You need a spade"

Customer: "That's a bad word! You're racist! Ill make sure your store goes under and you never earn anothet dollar as long as you live! You should die homeless on the street!"

Black people also don't generally appreciate being called "negro". Guess we'll just scrap the entire Spanish language, then.

What's wrong with calling a spade a spade. If someone espouses racist nonsense they should anticipate being called racist. Bawwing and flailing their hands in rage doesn't make the shoe cease to fit.



The problem is, when people are called racist, they are less willing to listen and be educated because they feel assaulted.

I find it better to just disagree with them and explain why without using the word racist. People will actually listen just as long as you aren't calling it racist. And there will always be people out there who will never open their mind to it and just continue living in a world of ignorance

I also think there are racist comments people can make without actually being racist because of their unaware of dog whistles or unaware of the problem.

Perhaps we can all work on the definition of the word than seeing it as an accusatory term. It's human nature to get defensive when we feel we are being accused.

That's true - people get defensive when called that way and instead of re-think their views, they start fighting back. No one likes to be offended.

That’s because some people who are called racists really aren’t racists. There’s a slur for every ethnic group in the world.

If the goal is to convince the person why what they said is problematic than you might make the tactical decision to not call a spade a spade, but ultimately one is still entitled to. Just because it isn't politically correct to call racism racism doesn't make it wrong to call it what it is.

Be careful, the woke police might go after you for using the “racist” expression “calling a spade a spade” :)


I'm familiar with the history of the term, that's part of the reason I've appropriated that phrase for this purpose.

As for the 'woke police', why would I care? I know what my record on these matters looks like and I'd be willing to hold my record up against anyone's.

This just in: Comedian/actor David Spade has announced that he will be changing his surname to "Garden-Implement."

Nah, he'd just have to change the spelling to "Spayed".

He could always become more promiscuous and change his name to David Rake. Or, start charging for his services and become David Hoe. 8)

That's also true because of psychological defense mechanisms. People often know it's not okay to be racist but unconciously employ a heap of defense mechanisms to keep believing "racist" does not apply to them.
Same with lots and lots of other sins.

Never thought about that before. A "rake" is kinda the male equivalent of a "hoe" if you think about it . A "rake" is an active seducer rather than being passively promiscuous- but thats because males have to be the active party. And they are also both gardening tools. :!:

More so it comes from using that phrase 'call a spade a spade' as a euphemism for the racial slur until finally 'spade' in the right context was understood as another racial slur.
