[Silver Surfer]

Cmon...whats the context of this?????

 

[hatealot]

Never knew that. Just saw that the song was a British adaption of an American minstrel song. American pop culture denigrating Blacks going global, happening for close to two centuries now.

Kids singing songs about the maiming and deaths of Black children. MFers are devils to the core.

This video had me look into other stuff and the song eenie meenie minie moe, catch a tiger by its toe, the real origin is , catch a ****** by its toe.

the link is censored by the site cuz it has nikka in it.

But , a quick copy and paste of some of the info



NEW LONDON, Conn., May 29—The New London Public Library has removed several pages from a 1917 edition of “Mother Goose Rhymes” because they contain verses with references objectionable to Negroes.

Mrs. Charles Prentis, acting librarian, said today that the action was taken because of complaints from the New London Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The book is not being withdrawn from circulation, however.

The rhymes include the one beginning, “Eeny, meeny, miney mo, catch a ****** by the toe,” and another one that begins, “Ten little ******s …” instead of “Ten little Indians …”

 

[Dad]

You know that that's an old song. And there's another version called 10 Little Indians.

Either way it's fukked up

*poof*

Disagree here, for two reasons.

British colonization and (mis) education of India brought with it the indoctrination of Euro views about Africans. This bolstered their own negative views about Black skin within segments of their own cultures.

Indians have traveled to and interacted with Black people in Africa before and during the Euro colonization on the continent.

This English language slur was understood.

Absolutely not, none of them knew what it meant
I'm indian, I can call a bunch of Aunties and Uncles TODAY, like right now, and ask them about this word and none of them would know wtf i'm talking about.
And that's today, with that you think they knew back in the days??????

No way man, I can tell you with confidence absolutely not.

And not only that, not only that but also many who repeated this song probably didn't understand MOST words let alone that socio-political oppressive one.
Probably many who learnt this song was to learn a language through music and didn't understand most words.

Truth is you could find many songs like this from back them, and many of them are lullabyes.

It's an old British nursery rhyme that I guess they also sing/sang in India. It must have been popular enough for Agatha Christie to theme her book off it. If you read And Then There Were None, it's all based on the song, but it's now changed to Little Soldier Boys.

Paul Mooney mentioned that on his Race album

"Whites sing these old songs, and change the words when Black people are around

Eanie meanie minie moe
catch a tiger

(Are they gone?)"

@Get These Nets that article is a joke

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

British called them 'Black'.

Now see how stupid 'race' is?​

No matter what any of us think about the idea of race, the fact remains that there are group of humans that hate another group of humans for having darker skin and features typical of Africa.

That is very real.

@Get These Nets that article is a joke

Are the films and scenes referenced in the article real?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Are the films and scenes referenced in the article real?

Yes but the conclusions were stupid

Look at this, the article said just because the TSA agent was black that's why she acted crazy



Keep in mind, in response to the OP i'm saying most don't know what the N bomb means.
That does NOT mean i'm saying racism does not exist in India, oh it very much does.
I'm just saying the knowledge of the n word is next to nothing most especially when this was made.
