Yankeemiento

The cultural and psychological process through which Black Great Migration descendants distance themselves from their Southern ancestral heritage, characterized by Great Migration descendants treating Southern Blackness and Southern-derived traditions as backward, pathological, uncultured, or inferior, while viewing the regional norms and identities of the areas to which their ancestors migrated as superior.

POC (PETS OF CAUCASIANS)

A derogatory term for minorities who are not Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery; it refers to those who function as foot soldiers for white nationalists and America’s power structure, implying they are “pets.”
