The dozens that I learned a long time ago has some of its roots in African American slaves teaching the young men in particular to just take the barrage of insults without reacting as they would be continuously insulted by whites of all ages but could never react as it could be deadly. A dozen older slaves would verbally assault the victim to toughen them. 2602:306:CE95:57B0:58AC:6F32:57CC:D153 (talk) 22:55, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
