Black Spade

In my entire adult life, I've never seen such symbols, in public, or even at swinger parties. To some of us, they are kind of offensive.
 
I think that there is an important distinction between enjoying black cock versus only wanting black cock. To each her own of course, but the idea of exclusivity implies a race based bias that can be problematic.

I've always seen these types of symbols as expressing appreciation of BBC. I've never seen why some people need to take it further than that. It just doesn't make sense to me.

People tend to "take things" a certain way, based upon their own perspectives and life experiences. Pineapples on pizza make zero sense, to me. The origin of the term, "spade," in reference to black people, is inherently racist, and I'd, likely, punch someone in the face, who used it, referring to me, even in a sexual situation.

Crackers, anyone?

Fair enough. I have always wondered why the term "spade" seems to get a pass in this situation when it would be so obviously offensive otherwise. Maybe because the application of the term implies black superiority??? That wouldn't make it any less bigoted but perversely more acceptable in some contexts.

How people "take things" matters. I have often said that there is an inherent distinction between what we mean by our words and how other people take them. This leads to a lot of friction in the world. Taking what I say out of context to get offended can be a problem but so too can saying any obnoxious thing then hiding behind the premise that one didn't mean any harm.

I think that the litmus test here is how black people feel about the reference.
