For those who say Frisco, this is a matter of preservation, of visibility, to protect what’s left of their home. It’s more than just a word that gets tossed around in online debates. It’s a philosophy, a soil.
Whenever a Frisco conversation reignites, I have the same reaction: Frisco’s history, its worthiness, is too often centered on the romanticized opinions of the city’s white, affluent demographics, whose livelihoods and ZIP codes are upheld as an aspirational — and largely unattainable — standard, while other residents are erased from San Francisco's map.Lance Yamamoto/Special to SFGATE
In his telling, the word was popularized among Black San Franciscans before hip-hop fully bloomed, going back to the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, when Frisco’s rappers and activists, a group more qualified than anyone else to speak about a region’s sense of linguistic versatility and cultural trends, have kept the term alive ever since. For anyone who grew up listening to Bay Area rap — particularly rappers from the SFC, or— Frisco is easily the most identifiable term used to describe San Francisco. It’s a unifying, empowering declaration passed down through each generation of working class San Franciscans, as if to say: we’re still here.
