I want to yell so loud that Baby Girl can hear me that dirty ain’t a color, disease ain’t the Negro side a town. I want to stop that moment from coming-and it come in ever white child’s life- when they start to think that colored folks ain’t as good as whites.- The Help

Hi Tiffany,
I’m mulatto as well and just stumbled across your blog. I love it. Good work.
I didn’t think I would enjoy ‘The Help’ nearly as much as I did, but it was kind of book that I was sad to finish. The author did a wonderful job of capturing the full spectrum of these very complex relationships.
Love these posts!
I love your blog, it is really thought provoking.
Where do you find all your photographs? I looked on postpost racial but I am especially interested in the photograph of a girl all done up in bows holding a rag doll. Is this a still from a movie?
Nice post. I used to be checking constantly this weblog and I am impressed! Extremely useful info specifically the ultimate phase 🙂 I maintain such information much. I used to be looking for this certain information for a long time. Thanks and good luck.
