Blacks in the Kitchen

One thing I don't get. Whenever you see an old movie or read a story about white folks back in the day - be it days of slavery, or the 100 years after - perhaps they'll have slaves or servants. Now, they treat the black people as beneath themselves - particularly with slaves, who they can treat like animals. (Obviously some are worse than others; we're not talking Calpurnia here.) Even if friendly with the "house negroes", they're seen as obviously inferior and repulsive to the whites.

But they have no problem with the black people cooking their food. If you're repulsed enough by a race to put them beneath yourself, treat them like animals should you wish, never allowing their dark skin to touch your own, why are you okay with them touching your food in the kitchen? Or washing your clothes by hand? Always cracks me up. "Hope you learned something from this whuppin....now make me some crab cakes."
