From Sushruta: "It's not that I don't identify as a Brahmin. After all, that's something I can't change, and I have benefited from caste privilege. It is rather that I don't attach prestige to the label."
Like you, our family is old but not Boston Brahmins. More like Boston Beans.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol I just moved in to an apartment on Beacon Hill and was immediately recommended this video. Where’s my complementary Somerset Club invitation and summer mansion in Newport smh
It was awesome meeting your boyfriend! He seems real awesome. I first heard the term Boston Brahmin when I was in grad school in Boston in the 90s, and knew it had to do with the elite, but not how many influential Americans hailed from this lineage. I’d definitely be into some deep dives of these families as I’ve really enjoyed your Gilded Age profiles. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing ❤
thank you for this! i've wondered about this since, oh, high school, i think, but i never took the time to dig into it.
Just want to say, I've lived in five different States and visited 43/50 and never heard of the Boston Brahmins until this video... still, I like learning new things so thanks.
Great video. It was nice to hear from your boyfriend. THX
I am surprised that you didn't mention this old verse:
Here’s to dear old
Boston,
Home of the bean and the
Cod,
Where the Lowells speak
only to Cabots,
And the Cabots speak only
to God.
I have never heard of that rhyme before. What is it from?
@@AdelaideBeemanWhite The specific author is John Collins Bossidy, but it's a rhyme passed in social circles at the height of the Brahmin era.
There is a website that gives you relationships between famous people and their ancestors. When I put the website in a comment, the comment vanished so I think you can't do it. But google for a site about famous people and famous kin. It's interesting to check random names because many of them trace back to those families in this video. I don't know if that is different than the non-famous population, but it's interesting to play around with this. The 1960s B actress Tuesday Welds seems to be related to everyone. It's crazy.
Wow, I got schooled on things that I did not know before 👍
Nice to see your bf's cameo in the videos. Please bring him more often.
Will do!
uniquely informative as always, thanks!
Great job! Keep it up!
Frankly, I’m shocked to see comments from people who have never heard of the phrase Boston Brahmins before. Our country is becoming detached from its own history.
If you want an inner glimpse of the Boston Brahmin life, mindset, and family dynamic, just watch the old Betty Davis film "Now, Voyager" from 1942.
Ultra strict social expectations and a super high priority placed on marrying into other Brahmin families.
Can't wait until one of them because as inbred as the Hapsburgs.
That was good. I enjoyed it. Loved the blooper!
Sobriquet- love it! Outstanding word ❤
isn't Jennifer Coolidge distantly related to Silent Cal?
So essentially, they were WASPyist of the WASPS, at least in Boston.
Yeah, basically, ha ha.
Very interesting, I'm a Brit and this history is all new to me
Your boyfriend seems nice. He’s very eloquent too
I think so too!
You two make a cute couple
I am a transplant to Massachusetts. I swear the old school families here still have the Puritans fighting the Pilgrims. Blood line power is what the Revolutionary War and the Second Continental Congress was all about but I suspect there are English aristocrat families still waiting for the ROI (return on investment) on their colonial expeditions. My experience of the English/British is that the private libraries and Loyds have the documents, full ship rosters, and ledgers. I would love to see the place names here tied to their English locations and involved families..where they were then and their possible descendants today, especially in relation to today’s global banks, law firms and companies. Perhaps MIT and Mass Historical and NEHGS (aka His Gen) would cooperate on this as a big data analysis?
...I'm way too Southern for this, lol. I don't know if I can recall ever hearing the phrase. But since I already knew about the Brahmin caste, it wasn't a big leap. Interesting!
I am bhramin from India ❤️❤️😊
