Remember reading Fredrick Douglas many years ago his accounts and Malcolm X riding on the bus angered me to no end as a young lad. You are doing great work on behalf of Legacy African - Americans and the entire world. The views may seem low but your impact is far greater than what is being visibly shown. Thank you.
I grew up being abused, I can relate. I also had neighbors who physically abused their children and I could hear the screaming from savage belt whipping. She knew that I was the only one in our street that could confront her, but she was sweet to me!
I Googled it, couldn't find a meaning for the word because it is a slang derogatory that like the guy above me stated, has likely fallen out of style. I guess we have to use further context clues until someone provides a more direct and satisfying answer.
@zedmoe Some people are spreading pseudohistory in an attempt to diminish the horrors of chattel slavery in America. In America, the Irish were never slaves. Many were indentured servants, for an average of 7 years, usually to pay off a debt a criminal bond, or simply contracted work to make money. Many were given a bonus piece of land after completion of their contract. Many Irish were the hired overseers on plantations. The Irish history and African/Indigenous history in America are like apples and oranges. That's obvious even in today's world.
Smh it's very sad thinking what those back in the days went through😥😢😥😢
Thank you Frederick Douglas for being aware and articulate enough to write these incidents down.
City,country, or islands it's crazy. People are dangerous.

Powerful lesson
May I suggest a book: “They Were Her Property” by Stephanie Jones-Rogers
Matthew 7:21
Whats a "jip"?
An insult that has fallen out of style.

I hate to repeated it is a ejaculated semen.
There’s also gyp; Which is a shortened derogatory word for gypsy.
I believe it’s the same as “gyp”. So look into the etymology.
Original grifter. Slaves were livestock. Farmers, typically, didnt abuse their livestock
They were human beings.
@cawtindamiddle5312 yes, they were. So were the Irish.
@zedmoe Of course the Irish are human, but what does that have to do with the system of American chattel slavery? Irish weren't slaves in America.

They were considered less than livestock. Especially to the type of folks Frederick Douglass is talking about
