RIGHT!!! so beautiful and pretty and i feel insane. so cute :(((

1155 had to post something to show that they reign supreme.

it is unsavory to imply that a black woman would be overseeing/taking care of white men, this falls into the mammy-ification of her.

you may think that it isn’t that serious, but it truly is. there have been years of cinema and literature that paints black people in a certain way that is still being undone to this day. a mammy is often a big boned black woman who is a “nanny” who takes care of a white family (and their kids) and lives with them. this is a racist caricature stemming from the jim crow era.

for the longest time black women were only seen as mammy’s, and in Hollywood the first black woman to win an oscar, Hattie McDaniel, was for the role of a mammy in Gone with the Wind. at the end of the film they told her she was free to go wherever and they had her beg to stay and take care of the white children so that they wouldn’t be apart. this film came out in 1940.

this is a role and societal stereotype that is still simmering beneath the surface of interactions and prejudice. i know laila made a joke abt living with willmack, and people would love to see their favs interact, but i need you all to choose your diction with care. realize the implications of calling a black woman a handler in relation to white man, and even out of the racial standpoint why implicate a woman having to keep the reigns in check on men?

there is a lot wrong with the statements made in regards to laila and people should know. and i am not making this “too deep” because i know firsthand the experience of being black in a white favored society.

who be bowing their head and making themselves smaller than they are??
