African Americans and MEST
Hubbard felt that African Americans had a tendency to personify the MEST universe by giving objects personalities.
"Actually, have you ever noticed how a negro, in particular, down south, where they're pretty close to the soil, personifies MEST? The gate post and the wagon and the whip and anything around there. A hat -- they talk to 'em, you know. "Wassa madda wit you, hat?". They imbue them, with personality." [4]
