sambo

In modern times, most people know this word indirectly from Helen Bannerman's "The Story of Little Black Sambo", not directly from slave references as several have incorrectly mentioned here. It is controversial because some people feel it was racially motivated.

sambo

Sambo means cross-breeding of a Negro and Native Americans. It comes from Spanish "los ambos", meaning "the both" or "the others". Historically it came into being along with mulatto (cross-breeding of white and Negro) and mestizo (cross-breeding of white and Native Americans). More properly spelled zambo

Only a nigger would think that sambo is a racial slur.
Cross-breeding to create sambos or mulattoes is like mixing clean water with dirty water - you just get more dirty water.
