And this is also why 'black people have big dicks' is a historical stereotype. Sure they have big dicks, like horses or cattle...

And it's a weird thing where people now think it's a 'positive' stereotype

I remember a Man U chant about a player having a big dick - anti-racism organisations called it out and the chanters were shocked. It's a 'positive' thing, right?

History is kinda weird and very racist

there's a conversation to have regarding reclaiming oppressive words and ideas, but it has to be driven by those being oppressed in order to really work and be felt by society as a whole as acceptable
