Posted by SLRT on Mon May 8 13:36:32 2017, in response to Re: Aunt Jemima, I recall, posted by orange blossom special on Mon May 8 13:28:36 2017. DailyMail published a study claiming that names liek that, or Moses, are traditional Black names.So the MSM would disagree with you. They may be now, in this culture. Associations change. "Bruce" and "Percy" were considered "soft" names, like Ernie Kovacs character "Percy Dovetonsils") (no kidding), but Bruce is directly from "Brute" and the Percies in Britain were a war-like clan who were said to have the charming habit of waiting to see which way a battle was turning out then coming in on the stronger side to help secure the victory and get some of the spoils. How did those names transform from their warlike origins? I would guess sarcasm, like calling a tall person "shorty." |
