I thought you knew 

heard in pockets of the southern US: an affirmation; agreement; inferrance of common knowledge... usually accompanied with a hair toss, whether or not there is hair to actually toss... expletives can be added to show emphasis or anger
"Everyone here wants to do you, Angie"
"I thought you knew, honey!"

"Donita knows not to mess wit yo man since you pulled her wig off and smacked her with yo heel!!"
"Thought you muthafuckin-GOTdamn knew!"

I don't think you knew you were doing it

So you took that as an accusation of wrongdoing but YOU WEREN'T ALONE in doing it and now you are trying to make it a thing like this was because I "accused you falsely of doing something"

Hym "I don't think you knew you were doing it but SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ALSO DOING IT... KNEW they were doing it. And it WAS A THING THAT WAS HAPPENING and IS. And is a problem. For you to assert that we have to care about saying nigger and faggot more than this. No. You didn't know it was a thing. I discovered that it was a thing. You felt attacked because you though I was accusing you but you didn't know anything at the time but by the time you found out about it. You just didn't get it. At any point. You didn't understand what was happening. You didn't want to play ball because I was being offensive and derogatory. And the people I said would suffer (through no fault of my own) for it did in fact have to do so. Even though THEY HAD NOT HAD TO DO THAT INITIALLY. You thought it was something it wasn't. I was flippant about what it was but at a certain point you had to have picked up on some general themes that emerged and you had to have known you didn't know what was going on and at some point you'd have to talk to the actual guy
But you didn't want to do that because you thought I was playing a game or something because I use a 50's announcer rhetorical flourish. 'Don't give him the attention that he wants. Oh! Shit! The kids!' And it wasn't even a set up! IT WASN'T EVEN A SET UP AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A SET UP! To TELL THEM THAT... 'don't give hym the attention that he wants. Oh no! Muh kids 😾 now I guess I'll do 'the opposite! Cus he said that one time.' Because you though it was a set up... And then for it to go disastrously wrong and then for you to BLAME ME FOR THAT... And make my life hell as a result of it. I don't think you knew you were doing it. I think you didn't believe me. And were dismissive about it and I was right and it does matter that I was right."
