Friend of a spook from the 70s knew cult techniques and used them. Classic stuff y'know?

Edit: Sorry bout that. I live in the PNW so some of the more esoteric racial terms have eluded me. And its weird to start drawing strings to MkUltra in public usually. But in this case the guy loved to talk about his background in the CIA and yadda yadda Jim Jones and Charlie. Hell, even Leary said the company were the best people he ever worked with.

Anyways, this guy is real fond of saying he had Jim Jones (type) training from the same batch of yahoos outta the bay and they seem mad at him for it more than normal bad men. Good for society, bad for guy who should have led self help seminars.

friendly suggestion, you may want to reword that statement..

Maybe it was meant to be a joke, but it reads like old southern racism. Jus' sayin.

Edit. I'm an idiot. please disregard.

Maybe they are misinterpreting a Spook as something racist instead of as another word for spy?

Spook is a racist slur. It's also a spy, but it's also a slur.

That's exactly what happened. I was raised in southern US. I'll see myself out.

Exactly what I was thinking of. I wasn’t familiar with the term until that movie. What an insane movie too. Anthony Hopkins plays a white-passing black man? Good job, Hollywood. 🤦‍♀️

Do you know what a "spook" is? How is that racist?

Because it is? It's a slur against black people. It also means spy. But it's also racist.

One definition means "spy"

A different definition means a racial slur

Yet another definition means "ghost"

The fact that one definition means a racial slur doesn't mean that each and every definition is racist
