Hilly:you will thank me one day

[@_.Kelly_Yang._]

75 dollars back in the day was kinda expensive, and the people should help her

[@LovesGaming37]

But the wife was right. Working your normal shift isn't working for free but paying off the debt. Now, if the woman said she would work overtime for free, that would be paying off the debt

@@LovesGaming37what overtime is she supposed to do as a full time maid? she can't make more mess to clean

[@zentalia8133]

Another maid in the movie said she was making $198 a month, so $75 would be less than 2 weeks pay for them. Seemed a little silly to me the way she reacted to the request, but this woman was trying to make it illegal for colored people to use white peoples home bathrooms so 😅 this was the 1960s BTW not that far back in the day. My mom was already around 😂

​@LovesGaming37 You've never seen this movie have you? Lol Hilly is a mean, racist, evil woman. You should be saying she's right.

[@prithasarkar7067]

​@@LovesGaming37 Did you even watch the film? Even if you didn't, can you please highlight how can a person work more as a whole-time maid?

[@lorasamario5969]

How evil can someone be. Jer face broke my heart when the husband just got up to leave.

[@Arica-jy5xc]

Man that's messed up she already works for them or is she there slave that is even more messed up for them to do this evil shit to that women that wanted yo but her kids in school makes me so mad she could have helped her make me so so sad

[@vOID-fh1qt]

she's a maid but black people were still oppressed at this point in history where it's set so she sees her maid as lesser + even thinks she'll catch diseases by using the same toilet

[@mary-janereallynotsarah684]

She's a maid this is post slavery.

[@kalinascott4012]

She works for them, but I think this is during like the Jim Crow laws era and it was like a step above slavery

[@willow100cm]

Well, yeah, she kind of was.

[@maryrenee18w]

love this movie 🩷

[@ДжесикаИванова-б8ф]

Why be meam for the sake of being mean ? I never can understand racism, homophobia or other way of discrimination. She didn't ask for free money ,she asked for a loan why refuse her ?

[@not-a-ghost2206]

That's because how racism works. They inherently think they're better than someone else, simply because of their place of birth. Its so engraved in their minds they dont see it as false and inhumane. We all have that systems in us, its also naive to think we wouldn't fall into this way of thinking if it benefited us. It's kind of like saying, 'I don't see gender.' but you can distinguish male from female or even sense if someone is trans or nonbinary. While the intent might be to treat everyone equally, ignoring gender might lead to missing challenges like the gender pay gap or sexism. But we have to work and be held accountable in order to change. The goal is not to be colour blind but to acknowledge and address inequalities that exist because of racial differences.

It’s horrible. And so hard to try to understand being someone who just isn’t like that. It hurts my heart too. I can’t stand all the hate and being mean and nasty or making fun of people. It hurts me to see people physically fight too.

[@adamaniece4191]

I believe the movie's name is the help

[@rozhector1361]

The Help

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I gotta say id probably be right there handing them the money. But i might ask to be invited to their graduation at the end. Just to see what my investment got them to lol

[@coffinb3d]

i understand people’s frustration but if you were born in these times you’re opinions are different. most of you probably would’ve been raised racist and that’s how a lot of white families were like. the ones with respect either were taught or raised differently. also, 75 dollars back then is probably 500-1000 today regarding their work. that is expensive back then to just give away but considering those maids were abused, not treated right, given the least amount of money, se**ually assaulted and more. she was really brave to ask too

[@marki57686]

this is not really racial problem or problem of the past. today rich people treat the poor with the same ignorance. that’s why is so infuriating

[@ghiansudelo2590]

She was not wrong, though.

[@JupiterSun-888]

If you have the deeper context of the film - they were wrong
