I work for a summer camp located in West Central Park. Which basically means I've got a hell of a lot of kids of the Caucasian persuasion that come to camp. So yea I've been noticing everyday coming to and from and even in between work that most of my campers aren't bought in by their parents, but by black woman, who are their nannies [i hate that word]. And most of these black women are Caribbean [no surprise there]. Its kinda sad ya kno? Cus I thought this whole notion that black woman are "mammies" was over. It's kinda depressing, because when im walking down the sidewalk and I happen to come across a black "nanny" with a couple of bad ass blue eyed kids, they always look down about 7 seconds before I can even stare them in the eye, which I must admit must be pretty damn intimidating for them. But I guess that's Manhattan for you. Cus you sure as hell don't see this sh*t happening in the South Bronx. Ain't no way you gonna see a white woman...let alone a Caribbean women strolling a couple of brown babies around. I seriously just think Manhattan needs a huge makeover!Side Note:[Those 2 kids in the above pic are Michael Jackson's seeds.]
