Posted by Me on 8/7/2006, 4:36 pm, in reply to "Recognizing racism for what it is." Now about her dress.. if she was indeed a maid, her clothes would be disheveld. I don't know about you but when i clean my clothes get messed up. I'm kinda angry about her shoes though..socks and slippers.... They also portrayed her as wearing a bandana(which i've seen worn so.. ehh) but she's also gone to the store in a nice dress with a bonnet. Truely it shows that they wanted to focus on her race a little.. by adding some initial race separating pieces of clothing.
64.12.116.66
Um.. being a black person, I find it slightly offensive. Though I love mammy two shoes.. they could've portrayed her ALOT better.
She could've been a homeowner instead of a maid.
Her dialect could've been a bit better.
They shouldn't have made the focus on her race... who cares if shes black or white.. shes still the same Mammy.
