the oldest recorded use of simp unearthed thus far is actually old cac slang. the coli had a thread on this already

cacs have rediscovered simp not other Black people...


Not true. They're completely different words with different origins that are simply homographs/homophones of each other like the "bat" used to hit a baseball and the one referring to the flying mammal.



The modern use of the slang term simp is %100 of black american origin.

Stay jealous tho. :ufdup:

wheres the evidence for this:beli:
I explained it in my previous post you responded to and now you are asking me where it is? What made them decide to shut down the channel was the many attacks by these self proclaimed "Indigenous Indians".

The channel New Black Knowledge had a series called Dutch Masters. I did partly participate in that. The channel spoke a lot about the African origin of Black Americans, based on actual academic research. I learned about about Black American history.

The only thing that’s still up are community tabs.

"THE AFRICAN SOCIETY 1796 (BOSTON) “We, the AFRICAN MEMBERS, form ourselves, for the mutual benefit of each other, ...” p. 3 This pamphlet outlines the rules of the African Society, a Boston group of African Americans organized to provide a form of health insurance and funeral benefits, as well as spiritual brotherhood, to its members. The last page of the pamphlet lists the members of the African Society."

Free African Society 1787 Preamble - "Philadelphia" "(12th, 4th mo., 1778] -- Whereas, Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, two men of the African race, who, for their religious life and conversation have obtained a good report among men, these persons, from a love to the people of their complexion whom they beheld with sorrow, because of their irreligious and uncivilized state, often communed together upon this painful and important subject in order to form some kind of religious society, but there being too few to be found under the like concern, and those who were, differed in their religious sentiments; with these circumstances they labored for some time, till it was proposed, after a serious communication of sentiments, that a society should be formed, without regard to religious tenets, provided, the persons lived an orderly and sober life, in order to support one another in sickness, and for the benefit of their widows and fatherless children."

African Meeting House The African Meeting House was built in 1806 to house the first African Baptist Church of Boston (a.k.a. First Independent Baptist Church) and it is now the oldest extant black church building in America. Moreover, this was the first African American Baptist church created north of the Mason Dixon Line. The church was organized primarily by and for black Bostonians, but not without cooperation and assistance from Boston’s white Baptist churches. The Reverend Thomas Paul, a native of New Hampshire, spearheaded the founding of this church and was its minister until 1829. The African Baptist Church was officially constituted on 8 August 1805 with twenty-four members, of whom fifteen were women. In addition to serving as a spiritual center for the community, the African Meeting House was the chief cultural, educational, and political nexus of Boston’s black community. The African School held classes in a room on the first floor of the meeting house from 1808 until 1835, when it moved into the new Abiel Smith School. Classes returned to the meeting house in 1849 when most African Americans chose to withdraw their children from the Smith School in order to protest against segregated education. Adult education was regularly offered at the meeting house in the form of classes and lectures.

When you say Black American, who do you mean? Because it’s a certain sector who is using it and when it’s being used it’s usually an attack on Black men who defend and protect Black women. So this self proclaimed “slang word” is divisive at best and based on self hate.

I literally posted a link with the New Black Knowledge guys explaining what was done to the channel and by who it was done. They also started to attack the Gullah people, saying that they are the enemy and Marquetta L. Goodwine is an agent.

I have posted some of the videos by the NBK and it was always "ADOS-indigenous claimers" dismissing everything shown. There's a section within the ADOS community who rejects African ancestry and claims to be indigenous. Even when I posted this and more..., it was attacked and disregarded.

Anyways back on topic

one that slipped my mind that i intended on putting in the OP was "Hey man""

which origininates from the use of Cacs calling black men "boy". Brehs went out and switched it to be more uplifiting and hence "man" now some argue that the musicians created it(which is likely true) but some simple say it was created from just black american men using that as a greeting:ehh:

Simp is short for simpleton. A simpleton is a person who's lacking in common sense. I feel the word often is misused by people who don't understand the actual meaning of the word.

Simp is a white-boy word I heard greeks and Irish boys use it in the detention center.

simp in the black community is older than its usage by any other
The_Poor_Simp_%281920%29_-_2.jpg

"The term appeared in the New York Times as early as 1923,[1] when the paper reported on a letter by one Lillian Henderson criticizing the members of two clubs in Atlantic City for unmarried men:

Those bachelor simps are afraid to take a chance and too tight to share their earnings with a wife."


If the word "simp" originated in the black community, then white people caught on it quickly
