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.

Those were housemaid's and made a lot more money than someone who cleans up an office, which is where the term cleaning lady comes from. My small experiance in the south with the very rich is that the maid's were attractive (as were all the servants)and usually white. However, most of the lower rich and upper middle class had mostly black maids, though my mom had both black and white maids at differant times, two black and one white I think.

Well,I guess it all depended on class and geography then.Thats the problem with these sorts of anecdotal threads.Judging on’e’s “truth”from srtictly individual insights can be often misleading.
