It was absolutely bonkers watching the raddle king make false equivalencies between the terms “blacklist” and “brown-nose”.

Love seeing a tagline that spawned from a thread I was part of lol.

im still suspicious of that one. it’s a continuation of the black=bad paradigm. there is a traditional view of black sheep being undesirable bc u can’t dye black wool (at least before bleaching agents were discovered). but the modern connotation of “black sheep” comes from early chattel slavery

Even with modern techniques black wool is hard to use. And if it gets into a normal batch while processing it can essentially contaminate the whole thing.
