Never heard “Miss Ann” before. Getting to the point that it’s just safer not to speak.

I’ve never heard “Miss Ann”, either. Anybody know what that means?

"...Never heard “Miss Ann” before. Getting to the point that it’s just safer not to speak..."

30 years ago in Germany, I used to hear black soldiers in the barracks call a particular white female soldier "Miss Ann". More than one of them did it (and her as well). Her name was not Ann, BTW, so I guess in retrospect, it did seem strange.

I hadn't thought of it since. Maybe it had some symbolism to them. Probably an insincere term of "respect" masking their derision of her for being too cheap and easy. Maybe part of some arcane "it's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" urban legend.
