Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 day agoHey, honest question.
This comes from this video where Snoop made up that word to insult people who performed at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Is it a racially charged word? I thought it was just a made word up by him. If it is, that’s my mistake and I apologize. I didn’t mean any harm to any community.

I know that word because I’ve heard it said many a time. I grew up in the racist south and apparently the word is well over a hundred years old, so when Snoop used it against other people, he was trying to say like a worse word than the n word to describe those people.

Ooooof.
I made a huge mistake. I was completely ignorant of that fact. I’m a dumbass.
They were right to call me out on it.
I apologize to everyone.
