The tweet was in response to multiple Black colleagues and engineer friends saying it made them uncomfortable. Why not choose other words that express the same concept but don't make people feel that way?
Seriously? Welcome to the WORLD. It is a fucking uncomfortable place. Slavery existed. It still fucking exists. the computer or phone you type one was most likely made by a fucking slave. but the word "slavery" makes them uncomfortable? grow the fuck up.

He didn't checkmate me, though. And he wouldn't stop obsessively tweeting at me when asked to stop. Most of us are capable of caring about more than one thing at a time. I know that might be too complex for you.

The only argument I need is to understand that it makes people uncomfortable, and there are other terms that work just as well - even better. That's reason enough to start changing, and seems that maintainers of software like Jenkins agree.
