c\u00e2teva cuvinte la morm\u00e2ntul lui sambo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sambo, orice b\u0103rbat de ras\u0103 neagr\u0103. Brewer<\/em>\u2019s Readers Guide<\/em><\/p>\n

Sambo: Nume de alint pentru oricine persoan\u0103 de culoare. Termenul se aplic\u0103 urma\u0219ului masculin al unei persoane de culoare sau mulatre. Unei urma\u0219e feminine i se spune Zamba. (Din spaniol\u0103, zambo<\/em> = cu picioare str\u00e2mbe. Din latin\u0103, scambus<\/em>.) E. Cobham Brewer, Dictionary of Phrase and Fable<\/em>, 1898.<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019bo, substantiv [din spaniol\u0103, zambo<\/em>, sambo<\/em>.] Apelativ colocvial pentru negri, \u00een registru comic. Uneori, copilul unei persoane de culoare sau mulatre. Zambo. <depreciativ \u0219i nepoliticos> Webster\u2019s Dictionary<\/em>, 1913.<\/p>\n

Sambo: Nume stereotip pentru o persoan\u0103 de culoare (ast\u0103zi considerat peiorativ), 1818, din englez\u0103 american\u0103, probabil un cuv\u00e2nt diferit fa\u021b\u0103 de sambo (1); ca multe alte cuvinte de acest fel (Cuffy, Rastus etc.), era un nume obi\u0219nuit printre negrii americani \u00een perioada sclaviei (atestat pentru prima oar\u0103 \u00een 1704 \u00een Boston), un cuv\u00e2nt probabil de origine african\u0103, comparabil cu sambo unchi<\/em>, cuv\u00e2nt din limba fulan\u0103, sau cu un cuv\u00e2nt din limba haus\u0103 care \u00eenseamn\u0103 al doilea fiu<\/em>. Folosit f\u0103r\u0103 sens rasist sau dispre\u021buitor la modul con\u0219tient p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een pragul celui de-al Doilea R\u0103zboi Mondial, c\u00e2nd a c\u0103zut \u00een desuetudine… Online Etymology Dictionary<\/em><\/p>\n

Faptul c\u0103 ortografiez Samboo<\/em> reflect\u0103 modul contemporan de utilizare \u0219i pronun\u021bie \u00een ora\u0219ul Lancaster.<\/p>\n

Ini\u021bial, mi s-a solicitat la festivalul Lancaster Litfest din 2003, s\u0103 scriu o elegie pentru Samboo despre morm\u00e2ntul acestuia. Decedatul este un african necunoscut care a murit la pu\u021bin timp dup\u0103 ce a ajuns \u00een Sunderland Point prin estuarul r\u00e2ului Lune din Golful Morecambe. Potrivit publica\u021biei Lonsdale Magazine<\/em> din 1822, ar fi ajuns \u00een 1736, venit din Indiile de Vest, \u00een calitate de servitor al c\u0103pitanului unei cor\u0103bii (necunoscute p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ziua de ast\u0103zi), \u00eentr-o perioad\u0103 \u00een care ora\u0219ul Lancaster ocupa al patrulea loc printre cele mai mari porturi de sclavi din Marea Britanie. Numele s\u0103u apare \u00een folclorul din Sunderland Point:<\/p>\n

Dup\u0103 ce s-a desc\u0103rcat marfa din corabie, a fost l\u0103sat la un han… \u00cenchipuindu-\u0219i c\u0103 fusese abandonat de st\u0103p\u00e2nul s\u0103u, nefiind \u00een stare, probabil din cauza necunoa\u0219terii limbii, s\u0103-\u0219i dea seama de cauze, \u00eel cuprinse o uluire at\u00e2t de puternic\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t se ascunse \u00een podul unei fabrici de bere, unde, \u00eentins pe podeaua de sc\u00e2ndur\u0103 a podului, refuz\u0103 orice sprijin. Samboo r\u0103mase \u00een aceast\u0103 stare timp de c\u00e2teva zile, p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd moartea a pus cap\u0103t suferin\u021belor sale. Imediat ce trecerea \u00een nefiin\u021b\u0103 a lui Samboo a ajuns la urechile marinarilor… ace\u0219tia au s\u0103pat un morm\u00e2nt… \u00een spatele satului, la aproximativ o sut\u0103 de metri de malul m\u0103rii, unde i-au depus trupul ne\u00eensufle\u021bit, f\u0103r\u0103 sicriu \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 n\u0103s\u0103lie, \u00eembr\u0103cat doar cu hainele \u00een care murise.
