I'm most interested in this sub-set of children's recreational rhymes in part because I'm African American and also because it appears to me that there has been very little collection, documentation, and sharing of those sub-sets of children's recreational material. And, if I were to drill down even farther, "foot stomping cheers" are the types of African American children's rhymes that I really most interested in."...Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-23745298761296092292021-03-06T09:53:52.723-05:002021-03-06T09:53:52.723-05:00Alexia BingHeath. a commenter in the discussion th...Alexia BingHeath. a commenter in the discussion thread for the video given as Source #5 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-NKrzvqz_I&t=2s&ab_channel=Geneas" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-NKrzvqz_I&t=2s&ab_channel=Geneas</a> in this pancocojams post wrote this in response in 2020 to Geneas and Atiyah's comment that they are from Newark (New Jersey)<br /><br /><br />"I can tell y’all are from Jersey because I’m from Trenton and we did the same games"<br />-snip-<br />Actually, even before YouTube and the rest of the internet, I found that many African American children's rhymes and cheers are performed the same or similarly all across the United States.<br /><br />I remember compiling a list of cities and states for specific African American rhymes and I think I published it on pancocojams.
