A racial term used towards African Americans to
skirt around the use of the 'N word'. Used by cowards who want to get away with racial insensitivity and use it as a way to justify themselves so they can still
sleep at night. Originates from the term
white slave owners would use to reference the black slaves they forced into bare knuckle brawls with each other for entertainment.
Racist Guy: Can't believe that knuck knuck took
my lunch money!
Racially Tolerant Guy: Dude, you can't say that! That is incredibly racist!
Racist Guy: I am so sorry. I did not realize the connotations that phrase holds. I will strive to be better. Thank you for educating me.
