Is it racist in the context of "i dont jive with that"? Never thought of the etynomics of the word

    I don't think that or 'jive turkey' are likely to get any pushback like using it to describe black people talking would. Context matters.

    Appreciate it. I have never heard of that word in any context other than what i mentioned, so it must not be oart of the local lexicon or it was before my time.

    If this doesn't ring a bell, it might be before your time.
