Hey Jourdan,
It's me, Skeeter. It's been a long time since we haven't talked and I really missed you!
I've decided to write to you to express how shocked I am about how things are here in Mississippi, white people are so disrespectful, I literally hate living here and being part of their community.
Black people are afraid to speak, are afraid to laugh, walk, everything! Their life here is so depressive, white people treat them as trash! White women use black women as housewives, where they took care of their children, clean their houses, cooked for them and still, they don't get the minimum wage and are treated as objects. Moreover, white people made the black ones to use a separate toilet, as they had a contagious disease or something!
To complete my dissapointment with this society, I heard one of the house helps talking about how her boss totally ignored her when she asked for a loan to take her kid to university. Her boss response to that was that she has to earn that loan, that asking for this is impolite. Do you believe this!? I can't tolerate living here near this monsters!
We need to take white people out of the power they like to feel they have. To start with, black women need to stop working for them, they are part of the society too and need to be treated as that. Moreover, white women need to start caring about their children and how they spent their childhood around a house help and start knowing her more than their own mother. This situation is getting out of hands and it's time to put an end on this!
Lots of love,
Skeeter.
