The original lyrics to 'eeny meeny miney moe"

were 'catch a nigger by the toe'.


It was changed to tiger in recent years, but it was really a racist rhyme originally.

Take that and add the bloody bact... well it appears to promote beating blacks to death with a bat.

>>79694085
>eeny meeny miny moe

...catch a tiger by the toe.

>butt blasting racist social comment obviously

I assume the rest of the rhyme on the series is racist perhaps? It originally wasn't a racist rhyme, but people have constantly changed the words to be racist.

>>79694177
The original rhyme is 'eeny meeny miny moe, catch a nigger by its toe'

>>79694150
at the start of the 20th century one of the most common versions of this children's rhyme referred to catching a nigger by the toe. this is probably what people are referring to in this situation

>>79694150
Because one version of the rhyme has "Catch a n---- by the toe". I always heard "Catch a tiger by the toe" when I was a kid, though.

>>79694269
No, it promotes beating Asians to death with a bat

Earlier version[edit]
Some older versions of this rhyme had the word nigger instead of tiger:

Eeny, meena, mina, mo,
Catch a nigger by the toe;
If he hollers let him go,
Eena, meena, mina, mo.[4]
This version was similar to that reported by Henry Carrington Bolton as the most common version among American schoolchildren in 1888.[14] It was used in the chorus of Bert Fitzgibbon's 1906 song "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo":

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo,
Catch a nigger by his toe,
If he won't work then let him go;
Skidum, skidee, skidoo.
But when you get money, your little bride
Will surely find out where you hide,
So there's the door and when I count four,
Then out goes you.[15]

Apparently there's a variation of the rhyme that used to be popular that went "catch a nigger by the toe."

That's what's "racist" about the shirt. I wish I was joking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeny,_meeny,_miny,_moe#Origins

The first record of a similar rhyme is from about 1815, when children in New York City are said to have repeated the rhyme:

Hana, man, mona, mike;
Barcelona, bona, strike;
Hare, ware, frown, vanac;
Harrico, warico, we wo, wac.[4]

The "Hana, man" was found by Henry Carrington Bolton in the US, Ireland and Scotland in the 1880s but was unknown in England until later in the century.[4] Bolton also found a similar rhyme in German:

Ene, tene, mone, mei,
Pastor, lone, bone, strei,
Ene, fune, herke, berke,
Wer? Wie? Wo? Was?[4]

Variations of this rhyme, with the nonsense/counting first line have been collected since the 1820s, such as this Scottish one:

Hickery Pickery, pease scon
Where will this young man gang?
He'll go east, he'll go west,
he'll go to the crow's nest.
Hickery Pickery, Hickery Pickery[7]

More recognizable as a variation, which even includes the 'toe' and 'olla' from Kipling's version, is:

Eenie, Meenie, Tipsy, toe;
Olla bolla Domino,
Okka, Pokka dominocha,
Hy! Pon! Tush!

This was one of many variants of "counting out rhymes" collected by Bolton in 1888.[8]

A Cornish version collected in 1882 runs:

Ena, mena, mona, mite,
Bascalora, bora, bite,
Hugga, bucca, bau,
Eggs, butter, cheese, bread.
Stick, stock, stone dead – OUT.[9]

One theory about the origins of the rhyme is that it is descended from Old English or Welsh counting, similar to the old Shepherd's count "Yan Tan Tethera" or the Cornish "Eena, mea, mona, mite".[4]

Another possibility is that British colonials returning from the Sub-Continent introduced a doggerel version of an Indian children's rhyme used in the game of carom billiards:

ubi eni mana bou,
baji neki baji thou,
elim tilim latim gou.[10]

AT LEAST the guy who pretended to be offended is an older man, so he'll know it by the original lyric. If this was some tumblr millennial, then it'd be a lot more rageworthy. No one under 50 learned the rhyme with 'nigger'

>>79694306
yankee doodle also had a racist part, you dont see people banning it

It's just a reference to the show. Anything could be racist now, apparently.

>>79694085

here's a wee redpill to help you understand this kind of thing: no one is actually offended, they're just trying to gain social power by pretending they are

>>79694342
The rhyme inspired the song "Eena Meena Deeka" in the 1957 Bollywood film Aasha.

Another possible origin is from a Swahili poem brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans: Iino ya mmiini maiini mo.[11]

Most likely the origin is a centuries-old, possibly Old Saxon diviner rhyme, as was shown in 1957 by the Dutch philologist dr. Jan Naarding, supported by prof. dr. Klaas Heeroma at the Nedersaksisch Instituut (Low Saxon Institute) at the University of Groningen. They published their findings in an article called Een oud wichellied en zijn verwanten (An old diviner rhyme and its relatives).[12] In part I of the article Naarding explains, why the counting rhyme he found in Twents-Achterhoeks woordenboek (1948), a dictionary by G.H. Wanink, stands close to an early mediaeval or even older archetype. That same version was recorded in 1904 in Goor in Twente by Nynke van Hichtum:

Anne manne miene mukke,
Ikke tikke takke tukke,
Eere vrouwe grieze knech,
Ikke wikke wakke weg.

Naarding calls its origin 'a heathen priest song, that begs the highest goddess for an oracle while divining, an oracle that may decide about life and death of a human'. The first lines can be translated as 'foremother of mankind, give me a sign, I take the cut off peaces of a branch (= the rune wands)." This explanation was revived and extended in 2016 by Goaitsen van der Vliet, founder of the Twentse Taalbank (Twents Language Bank).[13] The last line of the rhyme (in the Netherlands degenerated to 'iet wiet waait weg') can be translated as 'I weigh it up' (in Dutch 'ik wik en weeg').

It makes it slightly more valid. But when a whole generation, or even two has grown up with it having different lyrics, pointing out it used to have racist lyrics is just pointless shitstirring.

>>79694405
1.
I come from Alabama with my Banjo on my knee—
I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death—Susanna, don't you cry.

Chorus:
Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.

2. (This verse is rarely sung in its original form today; to avoid the racism of the original lyrics, the word "Nigger" is often replaced with "chigger")
I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river,
Electric fluid magnified, and killed five hundred Nigger.
The bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath—Susanna, don't you cry.

I really wish, just once, that one of these stories went the other route. With the accused party just laughing in the face of the dumb ass accuser.

Think of how many kids still sing this tune. They don't think about niggers when they do it. It's just a fun tune to sing when your choosing between things. Now this faggot old fucker has brought up these racist vibes and tainted a great childhood tune. He's done more harm than good. When there's no harm intended, leave it the fuck alone. Your just bringing up long dead issues.
