Hol up, people really have a problem with a name for an ice cream topping? Of all things?

Go say it to a little black girl’s face while you’re ordering and convince her you’re not trying to be offensive. I was made so uncomfortable when I used to work at JP Licks on Newbury St. I just tacked it onto the list of things white ppl do that make us feel shitty about but can’t do anything about. I just smiled and nodded it away. The history doesn’t matter, it’s the connotation. And frankly my friends you can’t change how it makes non-whites feel. The rest of the country has no problem calling chocolate or rainbow- sprinkles. The ppl who care enough will change their ways and the nonempathetics will keep do their thing knowingly. That’s just how ppl are- stuck in their bubbles only thinking about themselves and no one else around them.
