    That’s certainly what we’re taught in England.

    Go home, history, you’re drunk. And stoned. In that order.
    How many times do I have to tell you? Smoke first, THEN drink.

      Don’t think that racism was the intention here, but I’ll keep an eye out in the future.

        Oh no not at all, just mentioning it so you’re aware is all. Edit: I figured it worth mentioning because it was alt-right tier stuff. If it were me, I’d want to know if I were unintentionally using something like that. Hence fyi.

          I’m from the south and some of us just talk like that. Is it supposed to be mocking a race instead of just poor folks from Appalachia?

            I think it is mocking a certain conspiracy theory (black Israelites??) by people who think all black people were the ancient Egyptians. “We waz kangs/ we were kings” is the phrase.

            Since it involves black people, it is obviously used by alt right alt hist dudes to discredit and mock all black people.

            As the other guy mentioned there were/are places on the internet that frequently posted propaganda styled stormfront images of black people (exaggerated features, like lips and etc) using some variation of the phrase “we wuz kangs…” and so on. Like I said the phrase (or it usage in the op) isn’t racist, just that people should know it’s a phrase with some history.
