Mrs. Turner in Zora Neale Hurston’s novel reflects the general relationship between black and white people during the Harlem…

    Andrews quotes, “in “The Help” Aibileen’s story is tightly tied to those of white women around her,” (354). Andrews supports that pop-culture shows other minority groups of being unsupportive and fragile without the being of a majority group which Hollywood showed in “The Help;” Reason being since a black women was a maid and a white women was the “ruling” characters. Either way, pop-culture adorns using historically brought down scenarios today to be overt and oppressive of some race. This is not only racial discriminate but rather redefining what it means to…

    White people will always be more privileged than people of color in all aspects of life despite their tries of attempts of acknowledging these struggles. Lily, at multiple occasions throughout the novel, displays this behavior toward people of color, African Americans particularly, for the obvious reason that she is white. When staying at the Boatwright house, where her mother’s housekeeper, August, lived along with her sisters, Lily thinks about her stay at the house and is surprised that August is more “cultured” and “intelligent” than any other black women she’d ever known, to which she immediately thought that she “had some prejudice buried inside of [her]” (78). During this instance, Lily revealed to herself as well as the reader the bias she held toward African Americans that they are “unintelligent” and “uncultured” usually, with August being the “exception.” Lily’s prejudice serves as an example of how white people view people of color, especially black people, as being people who are beneath them.…
