had an older black lady nanny/maid too. I’m sure a lot of us did.


Ms. Helen was her name, a fine old dame she was, too. She used to wake my brother and I up from our afternoon naps to watch the Dukes of Hazzard together. She LOVED the Duke boys. Which is why I know the faux outrage over the flag on the car by the recent generations is total bullshite.

Definitely experienced this at the high school I worked at for 20 years. Always talked to and made friends with the cafeteria workers who were mostly black. They loved to cut up and laugh. I think they also appreciated being treated with respect and returned the favor with healthier portions for those of us who took the time to interact with them.

Old fat black ladies love me


:kige:

Granted I am old now and most all of them are dead now

I think a big part of it is based on mutual understanding

#1 They loved cooking southern "comfort food" and I loved eating it
(kids today just eat crappy fast food like McDonalds, and don't appreciate home cooking)

#2 They were still ladies and dressed like it
(young black women - fat or skinny - dress like ho's now)

#3 They loved Jesus on Sunday but loved you on Friday
(even if they did scream Jesus 's name when they were with you on Friday)

#4 They loved to talk and appreciated a man with stories especially if you got them laughing
(Human touch and communication is way better than texting)

Quick story.....


I mentioned that I worked for a delivery company that went to Popeyes. One of the drivers (WM) ended up screwing a black lady that was a store manager. The helper was listening outside the trailer where they were fricking. He said the black woman kept saying come on boy,
You got that in that dick! After that he the driver got the nickname Fire Dick.

Love me some Indians (both dot and feather)

She may say she is Indian but may be tri race if she is in the south. In the early days the south was a wilderness and you had lots of wilderness men breeding with native Indians and escaped female slaves. You see it a lot in families that go back to the 1700's and 1800's even tho today they look white. Probably a lot more Cherokee in some folks DNA then they might imagine.

A lot of it is the level of white-black interaction in the South that doesn't exist elsewhere.

Moreover, while I'm not going to pretend every SEC guy is polite and charming, a lot of us have pretty good manners and dress fairly well and otherwise act respectable in public even if we're shitbags otherwise. So that helps.

It's amazing to me how often a cranky black woman will suddenly transition to shocked gratitude and politeness merely for hearing "thank you" or similar pleasantries. I think a lot of the encounters these women have must be terrible, and they just tend to melt (good kind) when someone acts like a decent human being toward them.

Grace was mine.

She'd park me on the couch with a snack while she folded clothes and we watched her "soaps"

One time a buddy and I were horse playing in the carpool line at school waiting to get picked up and she thought he was being too rough and she jumped out the car and threw him on the ground by his belt. Can't do that anymore

they're a motherly figure while also receiving respect back in their direction. they like to cut up and have fun, but if you step out of line or dont show respect they'll let you know, as they should.

I am the whitest person ever and black women love me. When I worked at the finance company in Gentilly I was top of the division because the ladies would always come to me for loans.

One time I was at a party on St. Charles for the Nyx parade, some random black woman who called herself Joyce the Voice grabbed me, said "come with me handsome," dragged me to the photo booth to take candid pictures with her.

You speak 100% truth.

There's nothing more endearing than an older black lady calling you baby, honey, etc.

When Ms. Helen would put us down for naps sometimes, my younger bro and I would sneak out of the window and head out to the big pasture behind my parent's house. We would go hide behind big rolls of freshly cut hay and play war and shite, waiting on the inevitable trouble we were in.

Ms. Helen would come STOMPIN' out there in her dress and sandals and grab us by the ears and drag our sorry asses back to the nap room. She went about 6'0" and 210 lbs, and that big bird cut an imposing figure, to say the least.

I feel like my childhood music soundtrack should be nothing but R.L. Burnside blues playing over the top of my troubled young life ha.

The black ladies at daycare have always loved my kids. I mean LOVED them. When they were babies I never came in there without them holding them. My kids loved all of them too.

When there was a white worker from time to time it just wasn't like that. I don't know if they don't love other people's kids as much or what. Maybe they just don't appreciate the work. I don't know.

I was wondering if it maybe starts at daycare.

Interesting topic and definitely has some truth to it. I enjoy interacting with older black women.

When I worked for the sheriff's department, I got along with the black women better than anyone. Second, was the older black men. Once a month, on a Friday, we'd eat some kind of soul food and I would play old Percy Sledge or Al Green music and we'd laugh and cut up. They'd always say "PM, you black, you just don't know it".

The drive-through lady (older black lady) at my pharmacy got me a got me a wedding gift.
