GUEST,Marcy	What was Jimmie doing? (48)	RE: What was Jimmie doing?	25 Nov 07
Actually, according to actual former slaves interviewed during WPA times, in the 1930s, it wasn't "massa" or "master" but "marster" or "marse." At least in the deep South. As someone else said, what difference does it make, really? it's the same word with the same uderlying meaning, which is that the slave is speaking of someone who owns him/her.
