greenleaf

Nigger is offensive word to the African American race when it spelt like that. It is an acknowledgement to a fellow comrade when it spelt like this-nigga. It was used in racist form in the Greenleaf. Mrs. May was the owner of a farm house inherited from her late husband. She felt she gave the Greenleaf family a source of income when no one else would give them the time of day. Her thought of the Greenleaf boys were high compared to her sons who she thought had no respect and couldn’t wait till she died. That to me seems she had issues. Mr. Greenleaf was a brave man in his own right. He conveyed to Mrs. May that he thought both her sons were nincompoops. Seemed Wesley had a profound hate from his mom. “I wouldn’t milk a cow to save your soul from hell.” Distance I also notice was a very important sign of respect especially for the white in those days. “They stopped about six feet from the automobile and stood looking at her.” The blacks were not supposed to be to close to the whites. “Facing a jury of Greenleaf’s’.” That was the funniest line of the whole story. They had a lot of kids. Mrs. May was a tough woman and don’t think she deserved to die. Didn’t think she was racist either. any one think she did?
