This tiny three-letter word was forbidden in so many of our families.

Saying lie was like swearing.

But there's a reason we were raised to never say it.

This is two-minute black history, what you didn't learn in school.

Okay. Respecting elders has roots in African cultures pre-slavery. We value family.

But there is another tradition.

Black parents raising their children to follow orders and bite their tongues.

And that's tied to racial etiquette during Jim Crow.

Starting with the word lie.

Many of our parents were raised and raised us never to say the word lie as children,

especially not to elders.

Alternatives like telling a story or fib were household staples instead.

And that was a key way to practice surviving in Jim Crow using these etiquette rules.

Don't curse at white people.

Don't imply you're smarter than white people.

Don't eat with white people. Don't show public displays of affection in front of white people.

Don't forget to call white people sir, ma'am, mister, or mists. And under no circumstances were you to call a

white person a liar or even imply that they were. Meanwhile, whites constantly

assumed black people to be liars, shackling our identity to criminality, laziness, and cowardice.
