Only just seen this, but i'm sure I've spoken abut picnics on here before. It's actually 2 issues at play here. First off, the association of picnics, including cannibalistic and trophy collection from black lynchings, but it's also coupled with a bit of a myth that popped up within former slaves, and it's been passed on down their descendants. Namely that the word picnic is derived from "pick a n*****"
