My name is Miranda Hill. A tall, red-haired and gray-eyed, forty-something white woman of Irish descent living in the city of Buffalo, New York. I'm openly gay, and work as a waitress in a restaurant. Life hasn't been easy for me since my divorce from my ex-husband Joaquin. I'm just trying to make it through the hell that is my daily life. Some things you basically have to go through in order to understand. That's just the way life goes.
I've always been a slut and a loser my entire life. Basically I drift from place to place, relationship to relationship because I've got zero structure in this life of mine. Fortunately, I met a strong black woman named Mistress Pauline and she brought structure into this life of mine. Mistress Pauline is the owner of Chez Pauline, the black-owned and Caribbean-themed restaurant where I work. When I first walked in, begging Mistress Pauline for a job, she took me in for the useless slut that I am.
Mistress Pauline understands who and what I am. She believes that white women are the laziest and most pampered creatures on the planet. When faced with real hardship, we tend to whine and eventually fold. We're opportunists who almost always take the easy way out. And of course Mistress Pauline is absolutely right. That's the way most white women are and I am no exception. I need someone stronger and smarter than me to take me in and bring structure into my life. Mistress Pauline is the strong black woman who gives me the structure and discipline that I need in my life.
Mistress Pauline showed me the value of hard work. Black women are stronger, faster, smarter and sexier than white women will ever be. Black women aren't lazy or pampered. Most of them have to work for a living. They have to take care of themselves, their communities and their families. White women don't have the same worries. Since white men used to run basically everything, white women could afford to be lazy whores. Now that people of color are dominating the workplace, and white men's political and economic power has been reduced, white women can't afford to live like pampered, lazy whores anymore. That is the wisdom that Mistress Pauline taught me.
