    Picnic vs. Cook out


    "Davis, William C," wrote something to think about.
    A Little known Black History Fact. This information can also be found in
    the African American Archives at the Smithsonian Institute. Although not
    taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is noted 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 (the N-word)************************." 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
    "************************.") Scenes of this were depicted in the movie "Rosewood" We should
    choose to use the words "cook out" or "Barbecue" instead of the word "picnic"

          or the story that the hoax is a hoax?

            the idea of the Pinic story is a hoax.
