The U.S is always proud to announce it NEVER apologizes. They must have lost major footing in AF. I mean to come this close to apologizing And sent a Brown face to do it. ‘Ole Austin, a lineman for the oppressor. Wants to believe THEY will change. He gotta know he wouldn’t have a title if they didn’t need him to do their bidding. He’s to up in it now. Pathetic. Begging the man for the right to compete fairly. He stood up and as is his habit of late, stared at his Grammies pix. Sadness about her. Sweet. Never raised her voice. 3rd grade education was all AmerikkkA would allow her. She worked with red devil lye along with her Mom, 8 brothers, sisters washing clothes, making their own ‘soap powders’, starch from potatoes, bluing, bleach, old cast iron to stick in the fire to press the white folks clothes, fold them up, pile the clothes on top of her head like she was sure her granny must had to have done in Guinea, her mom told her. And they walked to every White House, delivering their impeccable laundry for 12 families. Each house had a couch, food, ice box, a fan that blows air, a bathroom IN the house, laughter, other 9 year old girls her age, playing innocent games in the yard with the prettiest fabric dresses. Grammie put the bundles down on the back porch of each white family and held her youngest brother and sister while her mama looked down at the floor (Shouldn’t look white folks in the eyes. That’s challenging them they say. Just look down. Answer promptly.) That way they will probably pay you after they approve of your work. She was always relieved when Mrs. Johnson would stop snap pin’ at her Mama about a Nat having died on the collar of a shirt in the basket! After a while Mrs. Johnson gave up the money! It was close and she paid every penny of that $1 for washing them nasty clothes them nasty white folk. https://youtu.be/FZXkx87qje8?si=gkLLeFT69LC8mADH
