***IIRC, a lot of what Suga Mama does is likely out of how she expresses love (note that, in this series, her parents were way worse than she tends to be), so not actual malice, however, still a toxic way of expressing it.

**Actually, it was kinda "yes and no". Technically, California was a "free state" in the sense that the institution couldn't really be upheld (that is, no slavery laws or slave patrols) but that didn't stop slave-owners from moving there, so it's entirely possible that there were plantations or, at least, in this show's case there were.

**If I had to guess, it's possible that her assertion wasn't challenged because some (or, in this case, her circle of peers) tend view "racism" as more of institutional thing. Without getting into a can of bullet ants, the gist of of this is tied to to historical reasons (as explained a bit more [[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/opinion-can-black-people-be-racist_n_5c3e5e8be4b01c93e00e8764 here]])
