Quote:I'm not sure that word was ever benign. Certainly not in the lifetime of anyone on this board.
Not in the lifetime of anyone here, no, but it's derived simply from the Spanish word for "black", which was just a convenient way to refer to slaves. Over time, it was shifted and subverted into something else - kind of like "redskin".

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
