Is it true the word Picnic was rooted in prejudice ie” Pick a Nig___”?
A Little known Black History Fact. This information can also be
found in the African American Archives at the Smithsonian Institute.
Although not taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is
noted in most Black history professional circles and literature, that
the origin of the term “picnic” derives from the acts of lynching
African -Americans.
>
>
> The word “picnic” is rooted from the whole theme of “Pick A
Nigger.” This is where individuals would “pic” a Black person to lynch
and make this into a family gathering.
>
>
> There would be music and a “picnic” (“Nic”) being the white
acronym for “nigger.”) Scenes of this was depicted in the movie
“Rosewood” We should choose to use the word “Barbecue”, or instead of the word “picnic”.
OMG its a word 99.9 % of the people today who use the word picnic meaning a nice little blanket on the ground in the park with some food. You know this I know this are we gonna analyze every word in the english dictionary? If thats what it was used for back then who care its not used that way now and thats all the matters. You are actually putting that meaning to the word by not using it.
