Code is everywhere. They groomed them to be mammies. They had the attire: black and white dresses that maids wear, wide and unsexy, came to them.

The Mammy Whisperer could not wait to address the crowd.

“You are all tasked to be servile and attendant to the families you are assigned. You will show yourself to always be of good cheer and be a tool for someone to grieve on for the rest of your life.” The women, mostly black and Latina nodded their heads slowly.

“You will be a constant source of simple wit and understanding of others’ problems.”
