    I was always under the impression that it was referring to the suits in a deck of cards. Everyone I know has always thought of it this way, too. It’s another way of saying ‘tell it like it is’. If it does have a racist origin, I’m sure most people are not aware of it, and certainly don’t mean it that way. There are a lot of words that at one time had completely innocent meanings, but over time have been re-defined to mean something else not so nice. It’s a shame people do this, but that’s life. Sometimes things are meant to be taken at face value with no hidden malicious meanings.
