Subject: FW: (Fwd) PICNIC This e-mail comes to you as a public service announcement and as information in the form of a little known Black History Fact. This information is in the African American Archives at the Smithsonian Institute. Although not taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is in most Black history professional circles and literature that the origin of the term picnic derives from the acts of lynching African-Americans. The word picnic is rooted from the whole theme of Pick A Nigger. This is where individuals would pic a Black person to lynch and make this into a family gathering. There would be music and a picnic. (Nic being the white acronym for nigger). Scenes of this were in the movie Rosewood. We should choose to use the word barbecue or outing instead of the word picnic. Please forward this e-mail to all of your family and friends and let us educate our people.
