In one passage, she detailed a particularly troubling experience she had at the age of 10 with a “real nice black woman” who “often babysat” her and that woman’s small child:

“This one day she had brought her little girl to work, and that child had many big, fat blisters on her hand, probably from helping out her momma. Something about those blisters just attracted me and I remember hitting those little hands with a bolo bat, and it busted her blisters good. It was pretty satisfying.
I don’t know why I did it. I have a hard time thinking I did it out of meanness. But her mother—I can’t remember if she slapped me across the face or she spanked me or both—but either way, now I know I sure had it comin’.
Well, still I was heartbroken and I went running to find my Grandmother Paul and Granddaddy and my momma. And my granddaddy had the woman arrested for hitting me. The little black girl’s momma went to jail.
All this time it’s bothered me.
It was me who deserved to be sittin’ in that jail for breaking a little black girl’s blisters in 1957.”

Well Paula, you ain't going to jail, but if I had been that woman, and if it had been my 4 year old baby you ripped blisters open, I would have whacked your butt pretty hard, AND demanded an apology. Yet, this poor women went to jail!! Because she was black. Do you get it now, you idiot? How can you feign ignorance when this is what you grew up with? Unbelievable.
