Jive, ebonics, and other terms were used as slurs by racists in the same way they are using woke and DEI as slurs now. Jive was a specific subset, and I think AAVE is the new term for ebonics. The longer name and acronym are to make it clear what it is referring to.

Jive has probably been out of the spotlight long enough that the racists won't recognize it, but I wouldn't recommend using it unless you know what it is actually referring to.

AAVE is an umbrella term for a variety of dialects that developed in African American Communities. Jive is specificic to Harlem in the 30s and 40s but I guess people started using it to refer to all AAVE.

... was jive ever not racist??

What are you, some sort of jive turkey?

jive sounds like it's a collection of slang when it's actually a distinct dialect
