I agree, I’m in the military so I end up working with a lot of 18-19 year olds. One day a few years back, a bunch of us were sitting around the table talking, and I don’t remember what the conversation was about but this kid lookes at the black guy and says “that’s how you get lynched”
There was a collective gasp and we then had to explain to him what that meant. He just though it was something offensive to say to someone.
As brutal as that verb is, it’s an understatement as to what he went through.
Going out on a limb guessing kids aren’t learning this anymore.
