BS”D
Leroy Washington was a rather intelligent black gentleman, all the more so because he worked for a Jewish store in South Carolina before civil rights. Leroy even managed to pick up a bit of Yiddish while working for his employers.
Somehow, when election day came around back in the 1950’s, he managed to get all of the infamous polling questions right, even the ones as absurd as “how many bubbles in a cake of soap?”.
Then, the examiner, a typical cracker who did not know Yiddish from Chinese, pulled out a copy of the Yiddish newspaper. Asked to translate the headlines, Leroy said: “That headline says the Jim Crow laws are unconstitutional, you dumb shaygetz!”
The flabbergasted examiner allowed Leroy to vote, and even asked him if he wanted to vote a few times more.
