"I come home that morning,... «The Help»
Buddy7Glass27 июля 2011"I come home that morning, after I been fired, and soon outside my house with my new work shoes on. The shoes my mama paid a month's worth a light biil for. I guess that's when I understood what shame was and the color of it too. Shame ain't black, like dirt, like I always thought it was. Shame be the color of a new white uniform your mother ironed all night to pay for, white without a smudge or a speck a work-dirt on it." "... so I go and get the chiffarobe straightened out and before I know it, that little white boy done cut his fingers clean off in that window fan I asked him to take out ten times. I never seen that much red come out a person and I grab the boy, I grab them four fingers. Tote him to the colored hospital cause I didn't know where the white one was. But when I got there, a colored man stop me and say, Is this boy white? And I say, Yessuh, and he say, Is them his white fingers? And I say, Yessuh, and he say, Well, you better tell em he your high yellow cause that colored doctor won't operate on a white boy in a Negro hospital.
