I was born and have lived in the south all of my life and the above statement is an absolute lie. In fact, till recently, most are white male janitors who are part time farmers or part time janitors. Not sure which probably both. A lot of black men as well. Most black cleaning ladies are the motel maids, but a lot of white ones as well. Now both are mostly hispanic of both sex's.
OH,you include JANITORS?Thats not who I was speaking of.I am refering to all the black women who did”day work”in the large houses of the more prosperous white people.
Now I will grant you that you may have had different observations than I did but my “experience” was in Athens,Georgia and New Orleans from 1970-1977.I stand on that statement.
Yet even growing up in California in the Fifties,every family I knew who had a housecleaner was black.
With the Hispanic influx,that certainly has changed!
