>> geechi is gulla. i wasn't hearing it just now but -- [laughter] >> i just want to make one more comment about a lot of black english is being consciously musical, people really know and almost like there is a beat to it. >> yes. >> and that when you're angry there is a certain beat. when you're joyous, and black men are great when they spike musically. >> no matter what i say in this setting about that i am wrong but that is definitely a part of the dialect and that is what you could call the diaspora aspect of it, in that, i think there is commonality with caribbeans and actual africans. yeah, it is another way that the dialect gives a largeness. it is a broader, richer repertoire many americans have had any way to possess, and yet, to end this on a positive note, i can assure you within the south, two years there will be some news story in which black english is involved and you will hear all sorts of think, drop the bs and bad grammar, degradation, et cetera. i have this hope that just my little bo

>> um, nobody knows for sure where the term "gulla" is from. for it to be from gurl is interesting and i don't know what the source of your reasoning is, whether -- >> i speak french. gurl means animal mouth. >> but when a french person saysow have a gurl you are called an animal. otherwise you have a -- i think that obviously having grown up in french speaking countries, i hear a lot of gurl being thrown around and that is a shorthand way of saying mouth. i'm now asking what is your thought because i really believe that gulla has that french root, the louisiana aspect, and i'm wondering if that sort of ties into the ling west -- lingistics. and i -- that's a neat idea but i'm not sure there's a strong enough current of french, or french creole that i would be inclined to accept that over what is usually ventured which is gul laa comes from gola as in angola because slaves came from angola but the problem with that explanation is that the african language that survives as songs that people don't remember what they mean anymore -- is from sierra

>> i am under the opinion gulla means french for the mouth of animal. i am wondering if there is forced racism? i will speak and i am better because i am animal that speaks. what is your thought on that? >> nobody knows for sure. i don't know the source of the reasoning. i think always growing up in french speaking countries i hear gr being thrown around and that is a short hand way of saying i am mad. i am asking what are your thoughts because i really believe that guller has that french root. >> you have to think all-around the subject coming up with answers. i am not sure there is a strong enough current in creole shows that the african-american language that survives as songs that people don't remember what they mean anymore is men day. it is mostly down south and in angola. the question is why would angola become the name of the language. so maybe. >> thank you for the talk. i think the other thing that is hard is english is not my first language. i find the accent is made by your first language when you were two years old. you talk and listen all

then we move into low countries, down into the carolinas and call -- gulla islands and georgia area. that allows us to look at enslaving skill. then we come to louisiana. finally we come to the north and look at the urban environment and the merchant system. what is important to note is that in each of these spaces the treatments are done in a pattern but they have their unique features. it is important for me to let you know about that pattern. beginning, you see some of the regions of africa where people came from and to the specific regions in the americas. you also see how the laws change over time and start to define whiteness and you start to see how africans become black herbal -- black in america. you start to see the status development of all people in north america, from plantation a elite, to yeoman white farmer, free blacks, and africans. you look at life in the space, escape in the space, and we start to unpack the story of freedom through the story of rebellion. of course, we humanize everything. personal stories about people who lived, labored, and rebelled in the spac

and she signs it with her name, carol gulla from new market, new hampshire. well, i think we need to listen to carol and to so many other people like her all across america. instead of allowing this administration to undermine and even sabotage the affordable care act, we in the senate need to work together, democrats and republicans, to strengthen the parts of the affordable care act that are working in the real world, including medicaid expansion, and to fix what's not working. according to multiple recent polls that i've seen on this issue, this is what the great majority of americans want us to do. it's time for us to listen to the american people. the affordable care act has had a profoundly positive impact all across america, but it needs commonsense repairs and it needs strengthening. mend it. don't end it. and certainly don't sabotage it. this should be our bipartisan focus in the senate. i intend to do everything i can to encourage such a bipartisan effort, and i know that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle would be willing to do this important
