massa

Would you have been the really obedient one, or the rebellious one, the one who smiles in 'massa' 's face but spits in his food, the one in the plantation house secretly hearing all the plans and telling your family in the fields what was going on?

His wife kicked the slave girl out the house, and her 'massa' chose his new wife over her and their child.

They're treated like pets, to be stared at, and then disposed of like a slave after 'massa' needs to settle a gambling debt.

Copying everything 'massa' does will not advance us.

Your mama had to keep you in line so 'massa' wouldn't whip you.
