He asked her if she was going now, and she said yes, she's going now. Goes back to the minstrel days when white people would make fun of black folk speech.

How did I know what? About minstrel shows? Also Wilona did something similar when James was upset and he was grounding everyone, and Wilona went into the whole minstrel talk.

You said that you didn't know what they were talking about. I told you what they were talking about. You didn't ask for the spelling. I told you that back in the day during the minstrel shows, white people would make fun of the why blacks talked. James and Wilona was making light of that since Wilona started to sing camptown races, and "gwine" is a word in the song.

Gwine = Going
