67-year-old boomer mom is starting to collect mammy kitsch in order to “preserve history”

Black Americans don’t fancy the portrayal of themselves as obese, docile housekeepers. Seems pretty straightforward.

Mom sees it as “woke” culture and has taken it upon herself to preserve such an oh-so-quaint hallmark of American history. And yes, the cotton plant is intentional.

Honestly, I snapped this in the realization that I’ve actually become almost immune to boomer cringe. Like a daycare worker growing accustomed to the pungent tinge of feces. It’s just…a thing to expect.
