  • Just to add to this: It was a term used by white people for slaves, it is directly linked to slavery. This is what makes it so offensive, particularly in the context of the US, if your ancestors weren’t slaves, or even from Africa.

    A rough explicit version would be to call someone ‘slave’ to their face. The US context adds insult to injury because descendants of former masters and slaves are living together, so not only is it a personal insult, but a cultural one. Like saying ‘you should still be slaves’. White people know this, nobody can’t claim ignorance, this makes it even MORE offensive, because the speaker doesn’t have the benefit of the doubt.

    Grok is a tool, not an arbiter of truth. It doesn’t do anything, people use it to do things. The prompt does matter because that shows how it is being used.

    The same way it does matter if you use a hammer to build a chair or break a skull.
