Americans of African Descent: Names and Identities
by Anne Crémieux

"African", "Colored", "Negro", "Black", "Afro-American", "African American", ...
The terms used to refer to Black Americans change with time, because times change and words have to change along with them. Brought over from Africa to serve as slaves, Blacks eventually found freedom eventually came but not equality. Treated as second-class citizens, Blacks were finally granted equal rights but not equal privileges, and the search for a common term - a name they can use to describe themselves - continues today, raising important questions: Who chooses the names? What meanings do they carry? What is the historical progression that they reflect? What does the difficulty of finding and keeping a name reveal? Certainly it's more than just a linguistic debate; but maybe less than the passionate reactions it spurs. The changes in the names "Black Americans" wish to be called express a complex search for a cultural and racial identity.

During slavery, Blacks arriving from Africa naturally chose to call themselves "Africans", whereas colonists often used the adjectives "slave" or "free", or else the Portuguese word "negro". The term "African" can still be found in the names of religious congregations such as the "First African Baptist Church", the "African Episcopal Church" or the "African Masonic Lodge" ... However Blacks soon lost touch with the traditions of their homeland as a result of a policy that often separated children from their families at birth. Furthermore, their exposure to racist representations that portrayed Africans as heathen, ape-like savages running naked in the jungle soon led Blacks to reject a term whose negative connotations when used by Whites became obvious. Hence African fell into disuse. With the end of the slave trade - which remained intense until 1833 despite its abolition in 1807 - the absence of massive new arrivals rendered the term obsolete. African became an insult. The 1991 film "Boyz 'N The Hood" illustrates the harsh consequences awaiting those who use it when ten-year-old Tre gets into a fight for telling his classmate they are both Africans, and is suspended from school.

While "negro" was used by all, the word "Colored" (often spelled "Coloured") soon became prevalent in the Black community. Miscegenation was common, which resulted in a wider spectrum of skin complexion. White men had full power over their slaves and rapes often occurred; impregnating female slaves was one way of increasing a precious commodity, among other things. Widely used until the beginning of the 20th century, the term "Colored" allowed America, a slave society that would later become an institutionally racist nation-state, to create a category encompassing all non-Whites. "Colored" could include "Blacks", "Native Americans", "Mexicans" in the Southwest, and later "Asians" and "Latinos", though it referred primarily to Blacks as the name of the largest Black political association, the National Association for the "Advancement of Colored People" founded in 1909, still attests. This is, however, probably the only context in which the use of the word is appropriate today. In the Sixties Colored took on racist connotations, and Colored boy was the insult that tipped off Sidney Poitier in They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970).
...
The 1970s and 1980s gave birth to the many hyphenated terms that describe modern America's ethnic minorities ("Irish-Americans", "Italian-Americans", "Hispanic-Americans", "Asian-Americans", etc.). Words such as "Eurasian" or "Afroeuropean" had long been used by anthropologists. The Black community chose "Afro-American", which had been used in writing since the beginning of the century. In an attempt to put the two components of the term on equal footing, "Afro-American" gave way to "African-American" and later "African American". The hyphen was deleted as it implied the idea of a sub-category. Other suggestions did not catch on, such as "AfriAmerican", "AfraAmerican", "Afrikan" or even more creative inventions such as "Afrindeur American" (short for "African-Indian-European" in reference to the multiracial origins of most Black Americans) or "Dobanian" (short for "Descendant of Black African Natives in the American North"), which found few supporters. "African American" did not gain acceptance without arousing debates, even if these disputes aroused less passion than those surrounding the change from Colored and Negro to Black. African Americans were quick to adopt the term. Problems arose with the 1990 census since many Blacks did not identify as black and added African American as a category instead. Jesse Jackson defended the new term, which he used and explained at a press conference in December 1988: compared to Black, African American expresses a sense of belonging to a culture and, more important, creates a bridge with the African continent. It evokes slavery and acculturation while claiming an African heritage. African American emphasizes an African Diaspora rather than an American minority. Roughly ten years after the new name was first promoted, it is now accepted and used by all. Africa is once again part of the name of Black Americans, as if the quest for identity had ended where it began. Returning to cultural origins that should never have been renounced, Black Americans have come full circle.
...
Because biracial remains vague, some prefer to use terms such as "AfroAsian", "AfroEuropean", "EuroAsian", "AfroHispanic", "African Latino", etc. But what about a child whose four grandparents are Black, Asian, White and Hispanic? An easy way out is to use the term "multiracial", which like "multicultural" recently came into vogue. Yet, who in America cannot be said to be multiracial? Don't the terms used to describe Blacks refer to a culture, after all, rather than a race?
...
"bell hooks" (who does not capitalize her name) is a particularly accessible critic of popular culture. In her many books, she identifies herself as an "Afrofemcentric" - that is, "afrocentrist and feminist". Michele Wallace, working on similar issues, calls herself an "Afrofemlezcentrist", meaning an "afrocentrist, a feminist and a lesbian" (referring to her sexuality but more important, to lesbian culture). The late Black poet Essex Hemphill spoke openly of his homosexuality before the term "afroqueercentric" was coined. Will these words influence the way we speak of ourselves?

"A rose by any other name smells as sweet, but nothing can be sweeter when a unique, rare flower is named after you. One such flower, the Clivia Miniata, was recently named after "Oprah Winfrey".

The name given to this unique species, endemic only to South Africa and Swaziland, is called the "Bella Donna Oprah", which means "beautiful lady" in Italian.

Cultivated by Bertie Guillaume from Makhado (previously Louis Trichardt) in the Limpopo Province, the "Bella Donna Clivia" was chosen by a panel of judges consisting of the Oprah magazine team and the Clivia Society."

'bogart' actually appears in 1968. The song "Don't Bogart Me" by Elliot Ingber and Larry Wagner appears on Fraternity Of Man's eponymous album, released 24 June 1968 by ABC Records. The song was later covered by the band Little Feat under the title "Don't Bogart That Joint." Also, my understanding (never having seen the movie) is that the word's appearance in "Easy Rider" is actually in the song, which is playing in one of the scenes. The song also appears on the movie's soundtrack.

Colt, Samuel (1814-1862), patentierte eine Revolver-Pistole von der die US-Regierung 1847 im Mexikanischen Krieg 1.000 Stück orderte. Dieser Revolver wurde so populär, dass 'Colt' auch allgemein für Revolver benutzt wird.

"His revolving-breech pistol became so popular that the word Colt was sometimes used as a generic term for the revolver."
Der Begriff 'Colt' steht damit in einer Reihe mit 'Uhu' und 'Tempo'.

gerrymander

(E?)(L?) http://www.yourDictionary.com/
(E?)(L?) http://www.fraudfactor.com/ffgerrymander.html
(Verb), Pronunciation: ['je-ri-mæn-dêr]
Definition 1: To divide a political territory into districts such that each contains a large concentration of voters for the current majority party and a small concentration of voters for the minority party.
Etymology: In 1812, the US painter, Gilbert Stuart, noticed on a map in a newspaper office, a voting district that had been created by the Democratically dominated Massachusetts assembly during the governorship of Elbridge Gerry ['geri, not 'jeri]. The district had been carved in a most peculiar manner in order to assure that the results of any election in that district would favor the Democrats. Stuart immediately drew eyes, claws, and wings on the outline of the district because it looked like a salamander (a drawing that later became a very famous political cartoon which you can now see at "www.fraudfactor.com/ffgerrymander.html". Someone in the office watched him and called it a 'gerrymander' ['ge-ri-mæn-dêr]. Within a year the noun was being used as the verb it is today. Stuart was the leading portrait artist of his day. He painted the best known portraits of the first six US presidents, including Washington, Jefferson, and Adams.

hooker (W2)

ist amerikanischer Slang für "Hure". Diese Bezeichnung stammt aus dem US-Bürgerkrieg als Spitzname für die "Begleitung" des Heeres von General Joseph Hooker.
"hooker" = "a prostitute" = "Nutte", "Prostituierte" - An American Civil War general known as "Joseph Hooker" provides the origin of the word "hooker", a colloquial term for "prostitute". Hooker commanded the Army of the Potomac for five months in 1863. His men were drunken and disorderly and given to womanizing. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., grandson of John Quincy Adams, said Hooker's headquarters was: "a place where no self-respecting man liked to go, and no decent woman could go. It was a combination of barroom and brothel". - Some years ago a book with the title "The Happy Hooker: My Own Story" by Xaviera Hollander became a best seller in English speaking countries.

Natürlich ist man geneigt zunächst an Marilyn zu denken. Aber der Namensgeber dieser Doktrin ist 'James Monroe', der Präsident der USA (1817-1825). Dieser definierte den gesamten amerikanischen Kontinent als Interessensphäre der USA. Ursprünglich ging es dabei weniger um die Übermacht der Amerikaner auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent, sondern vor allem darum der Kolonisation durch europäische Mächte ein Ende zu bereiten. Im Gegenzug sollte sich die USA nicht in Angelegenheiten Europas einmischen.

Nach 'Monroe' wurde auch die Hauptstadt Liberias 'Monrovia' benannt. (s. 'Monrovia')

Capt. Edward Murphy was a young engineer at the Wright Field Aircraft Lab in the 1940s and 1950s when he helped launch one of Ohio's oddest inventions - Murphy's Law.

Captain Edward Murphy arbeitete 1949 bei der Californian Wrught Field-Aircrfat Laboratory. Ihm werden verschieden Kommentare zugeschrieben unter anderem die 1955 im "Aircraft Mechanics Bulletin" erschienene Aussage: "If an aircraft part can be installed incorrectly, somebody will install it that way."

Oprahization
Oprahzation
Oprahfication (W3)

"Oprahization" (1994), auch als einfacher auszusprechende Variante "Oprahzation" und "Oprahfication" (1993), bezeichnet die schonungslose Ausbreitung privater Angelegenheiten und Gefühle vor Publikum.

Die Bezeichnung "Oprahization" wurde zum Vornamen von "Oprah Winfrey", einer der bekanntesten Talkmasterinnen (ab 1985, "Oprah Winfrey Show") in den USA, gebildet. Der früheste Nachweis ist in den Denver Rocky Mountain News, vom 16. Januar 1994 dokumentiert: "The Oprahization of our culture - the astonishing propensity to tell all, even the most sacred, private things to an audience of strangers - has fueled the Bobbitt case. (Molly Mayfield, "The Bobbitt tragicomedy").

The award endowed by Joseph Pulitzer in 1911 has come to represent the ultimate recognition in American journalism. Today, the Prize ensures that quality newspapers of all sizes and circulations will receive praise from circles within, as well as outside, the writing profession. Pulitzer's legacy has even saved entire newspapers from going under by simply citing them for an award.

sideburns
die Koteletten

(E1)(L1) http://www.m-w.com/
hair growing on the side of the face in front of the ears (pronunciation: SYDE-bernz)
'Sideburns' started out as a name, but then people added a letter. Then they mixed-up the letters in the name to make a whole new word.
Ambrose Everett Burnside, a Union general during the U.S. Civil War, was a public figure well-known for the long bushy whiskers he wore down the sides of his face. Other men liked the look and began growing similar whiskers themselves. Such whiskers, which became the height of fashion in the U.S. in the 19th century, were originally called 'burnsides' after the general. By the late 1880s, though, someone rearranged the letters of 'burnsides' to turn it into 'sideburns' instead, and that new name stuck. (source: Merriam Webster)

(E?)(L?) http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/POLAD/glossar/s.htm
bezeichnet die Prinzipien einer (wissenschaftlichen) Betriebsführung, die auf den Ingenieur Frederick Winslow TAYLOR (1856-1915) zurückgeführt werden. Dazu gehören die systematische Durchführung von Zeit- und Bewegungsstudien zur Ermittlung von Planvorgaben (z.B. für Akkordlohn) und zur optimalen Standardisierung von Arbeitsabläufen, eine möglichst weitgehende betriebliche Arbeitsteilung mit dem Ziel der Minimierung des Arbeitsinputs, der erforderlichen Qualifikationen und der Lohnkosten, die Trennung von Planung, Entscheidung und Ausführung sowie der zentralen Kontrolle der Arbeitsprozesse durch das Management und der direkten Kontrolle durch den Vorgesetzten."

The real McCoy (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.owad.de/check.php4?id=1490&choice=1&sid=1118209
Dieser Ausdruck entspricht dem dt. "der wahre Jakob". Er soll zurückgehen auf den amerikanischen Boxer mit dem Künstlernamen "Kid McCoy". - Aber nur einer ist "The real McCoy".
Allerdings findet man auch Hinweise auf mögliche andere Ursprünge des Ausdrucks.


One night a drunk man in a bar loudly insisted to the boxer Kid McCoy that he was not in fact the famous boxer. McCoy, by way of proof, knocked the man to the ground.
"It's the real McCoy," the man then remarked, struggling to his feet - and thereby giving birth to a common expression in the English language.
McCoy, Kid - born Norman Selby - (1872-1940) American boxer, welterweight world champion (1898)

Origin: There is general agreement this phrase comes from the name of the American boxer Norman Selby, known as Kid McCoy, who was welterweight champion from 1898-1900.

Who2 is a question, like a cabbie's "Where to?" We mean to be the Web's most direct guide to facts about famous people.

For each famous figure, Who2 gives you the hard facts you're most likely looking for: birth and death dates, famous works, notorious trivia. Then - in case that's not enough - we sift the Web and pick out the four best sites for additional detail.

Classic authors, movie stars, famous frauds, kings and queens, mythical gods, cartoon dogs: anyone famous is fair game for Who2. Some of the personalities may be frivolous, but our information never is: you can count on the facts you find on Who2. We do our best to feature only links which are equally dependable.

The links are chosen by our editors on a case-by-case basis. Who2 accepts no responsibility, legal or otherwise, for the sites to which we link. We strive to include only family-friendly links, but of course on the wild Web there can be no guarantees.
