What ever happened to the term "African Bootyscratcher"?

I had someone call me that, then proceeded to call me a monkey after wards.

I just slammed his head on some metal bars and left.

I didnt play with that "african Booty scratcher" stuff. That shyt is so demeaning.

I just figured they discovered lotion. As for old phrases. What about fresh off the boat? I havent heard that in forever.

Wouldn't have happened had Africans not thought they were their "own group"

I think we as African Americans realized how ignorant that shyt sounds as we grew up.

you right.... it was crazy....but as an insult it ran the streets for a good 5 - 6 years... It was around the time of the Ethiopian famine, when and them did the "We Are the World" song.

Goes both ways my friend... Fact remains using racist insults and stereotypes against your own is incredibly stupid.

I'm pretty sure African booty scratcher was a CAC on black insult first so to even adopt it was some type of bizarre deflection meant to say I'm Black but better than those Africans.
