Last week, a person with the Twitter handle @arizonasunblock from Tampa, Florida, noticed that Bradley, who has been on the high court since 2015, appeared to make major changes to her Wikipedia biography earlier this year.

      I don’t think that’s a racial slur my guy, a dictionary indicates it’s slang for female genitalia.

        I believe they’re referring to the use of Uncle Thomas, which while perhaps semantically appropriate is definitely a racially charged moniker.

          There’s a pretty big difference from a racial slur and a racial moniker that is only acceptable for people of that race to use as an accusation of betraying the community.

      I almost wish there was a blackness verification system on a Lemmy. Almost. It’s a fuckin terrible idea, and I can’t believe I participated in one on Snoozerville.
