So feel free to say picnic & please educate others so people won't be laughing at us as 'ignorant blacks' behind our backs!

I think it may have been possible that "picnic" was slang or a code used for "pick-a-nigger" because supposedley lynchings that were not part of state executions were supposed to be illegal in this country in the 1870's or 1880's.
