"I workedall day in Darla's place," she winked at the Darla lounging in a peachgown that looked almost tent-like about her huge curves. "No one had ad...ubt I's me all day." How many times I's get fucked, gorgeous? Names and places. We don'wanna slip up when I's go in tomorrow."The faux Darla chuckled as she waddled over to a chair, and beganslimming down even as she did. "Actually, the rumor is they're expectingsome big wigs in tomorrow. So I...that is, you were worked pretty hardall day. Not. You can live with us for as long as you like. I would love to be your papa if you'll have me and Millie and Lettie would love to be your mamas." I'd like that, papa. I'd like to live with you for the rest of my life."

Too smart to suffer the company of fools. A lot of otherwise smart Black women have joined the feminist movement, which I see mainly as a movement for, about and created by White women. White women see themselves as the equals of White men. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they see Black women or Black men as their equals. In the days.
