face jam
Back in the olden days, slaves had to walk with jam slapped on their faces like they were trying to attract every bug in the forest. If a slave had a jam face, that meant they were treated like a piece of trash, and that was the same as being called a nigger.
My grandma used to say, 'If you had a jam face, you'd be lucky if you didn't get eaten by a mosquito.'
They made me walk with jam on my face just so the master could sleep soundly.
I got a jam face and my boss called me a nigger in front of everyone.
