Speaker 1: Big shouts to the Black Effect Podcast Network and our
Speaker 1: Heart Radio for keeping us in the know this Black
Speaker 1: History Month. But I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, be Die and on today's episode, much
Speaker 1: like season one, let's continue to delete racist verbage from
Speaker 1: our lexicon. That pretty much that, man, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: use these words no more. I know lexicon might have
Speaker 1: had too many syllables for some of y'all. Nevertheless, I
Speaker 1: didn't know. Maybe you didn't didn't know. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't. I didn't know. Maybe you didn't get
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't.
Speaker 1: In season one, we threw our words that we just
Speaker 1: aren't using anymore. But here's got a couple of the
Speaker 1: terms that I know I personally won't be using anymore.
Speaker 1: Duncan booth. Go to season one you can find out
Speaker 1: the origin of the Duncan booth. The term m efa. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Season one we discussed it made
Speaker 1: some folks cry, catwalk or cheaper by the dozen, like,
Speaker 1: those are just terms that I've removed from my nomenclature
Speaker 1: because they're rooted in racism. They're only justified by Jim Crow.
Speaker 1: Their words overly used by overseers and I ain't with it. Oh,
Speaker 1: and shooting the dozens, that's in the same category as
Speaker 1: cheap about a dozens. To a matter of fact, I'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and get you that one. In those enslaved times,
Speaker 1: they used to put the mutilated enslaved people in groups
Speaker 1: of twelve, and it would be discounts on that twelve,
Speaker 1: which means you can get this group cheaper by the dozens.
Speaker 1: See that's the origin story. You can look that up
Speaker 1: on season one. For season two. How about the term
Speaker 1: knocked up. I had no clue that knocked up was
Speaker 1: birthed in racism. Now when you think about somebody being
Speaker 1: knocked up, you usually think about pregnancy. You know, oh,
Speaker 1: she got knocked up, she's pregnant. Now the Oxford English
Speaker 1: Dictionary traces to turn back to eighteen thirteen. Now dig
Speaker 1: this back. Then, the price of an enslaved African woman
Speaker 1: was knocked up by the auctioneer. If she's pregnant, say
Speaker 1: you was getting a bogo two for one. So in
Speaker 1: the enslaved periods, if she was pregnant, Oh, that price
Speaker 1: was knocked up when she went to go get sold
Speaker 1: the same way. Now you can hear someone say, oh,
Speaker 1: she's pregnant, she'd been knocked up, And I take that
Speaker 1: to school to work with you because I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't either,
