Might as well really rile people up and get into the origin of the word "spook"

The word of Dutch origin that was used for more than a century in English with no offensive connotations, then briefly used as a racist epithet, then also used to mean a spy? The context of use generally makes the intent very clear, especially as the word fell out of fashion with racists.

that's a fake etymology propagated by shitty white people who care a lot more about having something to ding their fellow mayo-eaters with than any actual history of racism or, lmao at the thought even crossing your mind, black dignity. stop pulling that shit with "picnic" too
