what is a "black manner" of speaking? is the same as the statement above it that he speaks African American? does this imply the language or just a form of speaking like he can communicate and he knows what African Americans want?

The website below explains that speaking African American is a unique vocabulary with different accents and grammar

our religion is probably decided by where we live and where we're from

How has this been impacted by society, i feel like this has always been a thing, there are homes with big families and homes with smaller families, this doesn't seem like something that would change.

there are so many different types of groups a person could be a part of but you don't really think about it until someone tells you.

i think this started around the time of the plague, when the church became more of a business and less of the house of God

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, so if you're protestant you CAN commit suicide with a good reason?

if a person commits suicide, if they're catholic, they threw away the biggest gift god could ever give them which is the gift of life, and by throwing that away they risk suffering in the afterlife as well as their present life.

Money seems to be the core of a lot of problems, it creates selfish animals who only care about their riches and everything else that used to be important fades away with their poverty

it's crazy how many different kinds of religions there are in the world, sure there are differences but they're more similar to one another than they are different so why do people segregate themselves with religion

I don't understand why there has to be so many forms of capitalism, don't they all essentially do the same thing, and have the same effect on the people eventually?

it's absurd how much the lives of these people would've changed if they were white instead of black. all of their faults would have been overlooked and everything they say would be "correct"

I'm sure that if a white man would have made a similar mistake, no one would have stereotyped all white as someone who would make the same exact mistake, this was just an excuse to isolate black man in a corner, another way of segregating them

the KKK wasn't started because the southern whites were stressed, it was started because they were racist and wanted to get rid of all the black people they thought were ruining their lives

most of the time it's not peaceful, it may start that way but then ends up being completely chaotic

Is this trying to say that it doesn't matter how well a person is living or how poorly a person is surviving, all people will be effected in a positive way? if that's what is being said here then i completely disagree i think only the poor classes should be helped, they're the ones that actually need it and should be focused on

i think this did help but it also just created a cycle where more product was being made and then more product was demanded. people were then overworked with not much pay.

These women aren't living, they're trying to survive

what are "Chicano radicals" and why does it sound like he's insulting and defending them at the same time? I may just be confused by this part of the story

Many of the women can't do any better than a maid because they didn't even complete high school or start it at all

All of the domestic workers are women and out of the 25 women that were interviewed who were between 29-45 had children and some already had grandchildren. These women are "underground workers" which means they get paid what ever their employer wants to pay them, they can't get minimum wage. so some of these women could be getting $5 an hour and they'll have to use that money to feed and supply for an entire family which is outrageous.

I don't understand why these women are called "domestic" when i hear the word domestic i just think of an animal that belongs inside a home. Is the "maid" bad?
