No, my mother wasn't always ...

bad.  She did do some good things.

In 1976 my white male co-worker  had the nerve to step to me and boldly shared his opinion of me in the faculty lounge  of Sandy Springs Middle school.

"Rachel, I think you are just a black woman that doesn't know her place."

I responded very loudly in less than a millisecond ; "FUCK YOU MUTHAFUCKER! I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU TALKING TO! BUT I WILL STRAIGHT PUT MY FOOT UP YOUR MUTHFUCKING ASS!!! RIGHT FUCKING NOW! "

Our conversation ended abruptly when he ran out of the faculty lounge like a little bitch.

I do thank my mother for her "macho".

Praise the LORD!
