   I just heard some lefty Youtube idiot claim that black people have always used the term "birthing people" and that it's racist to not accept that term :blobjoy: There is no way this is true, right?
   
   I've been wasting today listening to idiots making wild claims about Ana Kasparian :blobjoy:

     @Piss_Ant I find the term "birthing people" particularly racist given how black women were forced to give birth to produce more chattel slaves and to wet nurse white babies when their own went hungry.

     @senryu OK first of all that's utterly horrible.
     
     But ya, even by their own logic, it's backwards. They say that black people use the word "birthing person" because black women were never counted as "women" ............ uh?/??

     @Piss_Ant @senryu why would black women perpetuate their own dehumanization like that? Who is this fucking moron? "White people dehumanize me so I'll dehumanize myself"
