"Good Morning" Is Now A Symbol Of White Oppression

The latest installment of 'Everything Is Racist' dropped this morning, and boy howdy is it a doozy. In the video, we see a young woman telling us the supposed origin of the phrase 'good morning', and she manages to get it IMPRESSIVELY wrong. Check it out: Did you know that saying "good morning" is a racist symbol of White oppression? Sigh. Where to even begin? She argues that the phrase 'good morning' actually originated from white slave owners asking black women if they had a 'good mourning' during the nights after her family members were beaten, killed, or sold. The only problem with this is that it's entirely false.

The etymology of the phrase tells us that it is a greeting salutation, circa 1400, from good (adj.) + morning. Earlier 'good morwe' (late 14c.), from morrow. https://www.etymonline.com/word/good%20morning#:~:text=Origin%20of%20phrase%20good%20morning%3A%20greeting%20salutation%2C,c.%201400%2C%20from%20good%20%28adj.%29%20%2B%20morning. -- Alas, in today's culture of perpetual victimhood, these are the people that have to have SOMETHING to be victimized by. This is their entire identity, and their sense victimhood is entirely self-imposed. They wouldn't know who they are if they couldn't be a victim.
