  > I'm guessing you are white, so you can't really fully grasp the experience of being pointlessly reminded day in and day out by a software product that your ancestors were systematically kidnapped, forced to work for their entire lives, raped, had their children taken, and then often murdered. For generations. Eh, that describes how all humans lived as you travel back in time. That describes all of our ancestry. Kidnapping, rape, immense suffering at the hands of power hierarchies. Hell, look up where the word "slave" comes from and which group of people it spawned from. Hint: it wasn't black Americans 200 years ago.

  > No black person will ever, ever stop being offended by having to push their "slave" branch to a "master" branch, for the same reason no Jew would ever, ever stop being offended by having to push their "jew" branch to a "nazi" branch. You're essentializing race and religion. Do you think Larry David gets thrown into a tail-spin any time someone uses the term "grammar nazi"?
