The help: Movie

Hi Silvia,

Really I’m very surprised and sad because how things are going here in Mississippi. I’m writing to you to tell you that I’m not proud about the type of community that belong, because of the treat that people white give to black.

It’s awful how white people treat black nowadays, like if they were objects without feelings, they live their kids all day and their pretend you to do more than what you did. How wash them, give them dinner and play with them and they didn’t say not even thanks to you.  I really cannot think how people of my same race can do things like that, I’m completely ashamed!

Do you see how white people separate all kind of thing from black people like if they were ill?, I cannot even think it. Also always black people cook for white people. The other day my friend Alice told me “separate but equal” and when I hear that I directly thought about a black woman that talk to me and said me that boss didn’t help a toll black people for the university of their kids or even when they need a help to buy something that they really need white people didn’t help them, and told them than they never have to ask for more than what they give.

So I ask myself that is being equal? Do you think that letting them work all day, their whole life for you, not letting be with their kids, without any help, is being fear?

I’m so worry about that issue that we lead every single day.

Hope to see you soon!

Mary
