I'm a Southerner - I never take satisfaction in touching a nerve.

Demetrie came to wait on my grandmother in 1955 and stayed for 32 years. It was common, in Mississippi, to have a black domestic cleaning the kitchen, cooking the meals, looking after the white children. Kathryn Stockett
Kathryn Stockett quote: "Your white uniform as a black domestic was your ticket..."
