Tariq you should know this already because your pops was f.o.i. your people have to have told you the etymology of PIC NIC.

Bro, the whiteman would send out invites to slaveholders from a radius of fifty miles. They would reserve excursion trains and tell the newspapers to prepare extra copies for that days edition featuring the activities from the PIC NIC.

The slaveholders would then
Pic-a-Nic (Pick Nigger) and hang him for the enjoyment of all the slavemasters and their families especially the children who are known to have exclaimed what fun they had killing the niggers.

Picaninny is under the same type of etymology.

Pick becomes pic.

Pick a Nicc and hang him.

This would renew the fear in the other slaves.

The majority of Black people call our outings COOKOUTS because of this etymology.

Please stop making mockery of us to please the slavemaster.

Philly is on some other type shit. It is 2026. And then to bring that bullshit to L.A. is some diabolical madness.

ROOTS COOKOUT

I did not want to believe it when I first heard it. After doing the knowledge that words have to originate SOMEWHERE I could not longer deny it.

Pic a Nick (Nigger) and Kill him for our enjoyment

“Burning and Lynching” were almost one word.

The cartoon character Yogi Bear still called it that on national television with millions a Black children watching.

He and his accomplice would try to steal PIC- A-NIC baskets without trying to conceal what we did not know at the time was actually the CORRECT pronunciation!

When a Black person was lynched (hanged), whites created a party-like atmosphere that included meals and celebrations.

There were even souvenirs taken from the remains of the murdered Black people.

Photographs were turned into postcards and sent through the mail across the country so that many who were unable to attend could still participate vicariously in the true barbarism.
