minus-squareandros_rex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-28 小时前“Jive” is an older term for what you might call less offensively call Ebonics or AAVE. Popular in the 80’s, I remember my mom talking about having a computer program that would “translate” things into jive (while also talking about doing black face for Halloween….) “Jigaboo” is a slur for a black person.
