I have lived in the Presidio Heights District of San Francisco for the past 30 years. Last week I saw for the first time 2 African-American nannies. Prior to that, the nannies or au pairs have been 80% Hispanic and the balance a mix of Europeans. I think that talk of enforcement of immigration law is the reason.
A retrospective of the part black nannies had in American culture includes the most famous Hattie McDaniel. She was Scarlet's ( Vivien Leigh) nanny in " Gone With The Wind"in 1939. Hattie won an Oscar for her performance. This passed Academy Awards presentations saw the Oscar go to black gangsta-rappers Three 6 Mafia for their "Original Music", " It's Hard for a Pimp out Here". America's culture has been going in the wrong direction for many years. We are to blame. But we can fix it.
