THE HELP
REDEMPTION, LTR. 106

Our black women are being used like puppets by our oppressors because they are easier to control & manipulate into believing in this racist system, so that female headed households raising male kids will become more passive & weaker without the black men around. Our black women were used in an economic & political system by which a group of whites extracted as much labor as possible from blacks through the use or threat of force, an' to bear his mulatlo kids to look more like whites.

In the 19850s at least 90 percent of all female slaves over 16 years of age labored more than 261 days per year, eleven to thirteen house each day. To keep our black women cleaning up they households, as many slave women were driven & beaten mercilessly, and some achieved respite only in return for sexual submission. To a white man, a black woman was not only a worker who needed prodding, but also a female capable of fulfilling his sexual or aggressive desires because white women devised barbaric forms of punishment that resulted in mutilation or permanent scars of their female servants because of jealousy over their spouse's real or suspected infidelity. Led many white wives to openly express their anger & shame, whose husbands flaunted in front of them how they was sleeping with the help. Always "on call" women servants often had to snatch a bite to eat whenever they could, remain standing in the presence of the whites, and sleep on the floor at the foot of a mistresses bed (increasing the changes that they would sooner or later be bribed, seduced, or forced into sexual relations with the master). An' the master's house offered no shelter from the most brutal manifestations of slavery.

It's up to black women who work under the close supervision of white men & women to know the truth, as women have forgotten they roots or want no part of they own history. So they can be able to do whatever they want, because whites have always tried to separate us black men & women, as they know: if you separate the two, you rob them of our strength, as in slavery times. Us black men & women weren't allowed to marry &
