No kidding. I went thru most of my life before I learned that “jimmies” is slang for black people.
I graduated h.s. in Mass and went to UGA btw. :)
(Jimmies = what most people call sprinkles)
However, I will say it was a shock, as a totally non-racist, idealistic girl who always got along with the tiny handful of black kids my class, to move down south and realize that 90% of black people hate whites with a passion and have no interest in integration whatsoever, separate but highly subsidized is the apparent goal. Quite dismaying.
For the "City Too Busy To Hate" (Atlanta) there is pigment-testing for one's suitability for any work with the gubbermint as well as pay-to-play rules for those not being of the correct pigment.
Here in rural GreenAcres, we just all get along and ignore the urban types who know better than us!
