HelpRe: the problem (from my perspective)
in reply to a message by Clippy
This is an excellent point. I too think that Jemima is a lovely name and would like to see it reclaimed, but as a white person it is simply not my place to do the reclaiming.
But I would also not see it as hateful if I did see it used by a white or non-African American family. Maybe ignorant, but not hateful.
It's interesting that Jemima is so problematic but Benjamin (Uncle Ben) is not. I wonder why?
