My great great grandfather had lots of people that lived on his farm and he paid them in grits, turnip greens, chitterlings and clothes... Some were Italian, others African American but (despite what the history books will EVER tell you) most were caucasian... He also led them to Christianity and provided free housing... In return they cooked and cleaned for his family and did chores around the farm... So it's definitely not Mississippi.

Man, if he had paid me in grits, he would have gone broke as I love me some grits!

Theoretically, all Italians should have been caucasian but when passing through Ellis Island, if you were from southern Italy they labeled you as BLACK on your immigration papers.
