1683, a name applied disparagingly by Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. It may be from Dutch Janke, literally "Little John," diminutive of common personal name Jan; or it may be from Jan Kes familiar form of "John Cornelius," or perhaps an alteration of Jan Kees, dialectal variant of Jan Kaas, literally "John Cheese," the generic nickname the Flemings used for Dutchmen.
t is to be noted that it is common to name a droll fellow, regarded as typical of his country, after some favorite article of food, as E[nglish] Jack-pudding, G[erman] Hanswurst ("Jack Sausage"), F[rench] Jean Farine ("Jack Flour"). [Century Dictionary, 1902, entry for "macaroni"]
Originally it seems to have been applied insultingly to the Dutch, especially freebooters, before they turned around and slapped it on the English. A less-likely theory (attested by 1832) is that it represents some southern New England Algonquian language mangling of English. In English a term of contempt (1750s) before its use as a general term for "native of New England" (1765); during the American Revolution it became a disparaging British word for all American natives or inhabitants. Contrasted with southerner by 1828. Shortened form Yank in reference to "an American" first recorded 1778. Latin-American form Yanqui attested in English by 1914 (in Mexican Spanish by 1835).
The rule observed in this country is, that the man who receives that name [Yankee] must come from some part north of him who gives it. To compensate us for giving each other nicknames, John Bull "lumps us all together," and calls us all Yankees. ["Who is a Yankee?" Massachusetts Spy, June 6, 1827]
A friend of mine, a Nigerian prince, told me about this--something fascinating to me--from the Benin Kingdom, while an Ijebi female friend of mine told me maybe eight years ago about their kingdom's history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walls_of_Benin (Benin) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungbo%27s_Eredo (Yoruba Ijebu) This is western African culture, and it's the coolest. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Edo_ivory_mask_18472.jpg It's unfortunate that many artifacts were assumedly destroyed when the English burnt the city-state.
yeah... what he said... i really have nothing to add... claiming that a mafia is something cultural that black men are stealing??? REALLY? like REAAAALY???? im in a loss for words here. you are indeed hopless.
but just to clearify. Mafia = organized crime. PERIOD. not itallian. not sicillian. just plain. organized crime. almost every single 1st world country has one. if you think mafia is something tied with culture you are beyond ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
oh and nice job bringing up a song of a band that ironically called themselves mafia (hell its not even their actual name, its initials) to counter my arguement. that's just downright pathetic. sorry to be harsh but there is no nicer way to say this.
your arguement is complete bull. when you take offense when someone steals a CRIME "CULTURE" then there is nothing else to say.
ETA: Before you try your typical comeback with a link to the definition of Sociology, it has nothing to do with "defining race". Where race is concerned it's the study of the relationships and conflicts between segments of society. Those are two very different things. Please stop trying to teach and start trying to learn.
thanks for putting my thoughts into words. the topic became so stupid that im losing the ability to speak coherantly
