With all the political unrest, and neighbors turning on neighbors, it’s time to answer the big questions…

Who is Jimmy?
What is cracked corn?
Why was he cracking it?
Why didn’t anyone care?
If no one cared, why did he keep doing it?

🤔

Cracked corn refers to dried corn kernels that have been broken into smaller pieces, typically done through a milling process. This process makes the corn easier for birds and other animals to consume and digest. It's a common ingredient in birdseed mixtures
@NinaTina right on, took the words from my mouth,

the popular saying "Jimmy cracked corn," Jimmy is not a historical figure or a literal person. The saying is a folk song, likely with origins in the antebellum period, and the name "Jimmy" is symbolic. It's believed that "Jimmy" may have referred to a field slave who, after his master's death, was free to crack corn for whiskey. The song itself is a celebration of this freedom and the slaves' joy after the master's demise
