    Since they could not sign any papers and many could not even write, jumping a broom was significant among themselves that they were joined in marriage. Many masters chose not to acknowledge this ritual or symbolism any way and still sold them. A history major could tell you more.

    That is such a silly question That is like asking why do Afro Americans have big noses. Perhaps we are from different tribes all across Africa ok. Besides, I know a damn good lot of my people with lovely noses whatever sizes they may be.

    In the West Indies, in Jamaica, the phrase 'all right' could also mean 'all is good,' 'all is well' or 'things are good.' The man may simply be wishing you well by saying this to you when you have an encounter. It's out of politeness and just another way of saying something like 'what's up?'
