Nanny sees this way of life due to the fact she was a slave. Nanny relates the Black women with a mule because…

African American women had taken the active role of teaching their community about American citizenship, and the pride of their race. African American women saw the women's suffrage as another step of pushing the racial divide (Goodstein, A Rare Alliance).

Being raised in an African American family has shown me how to keep a “Cool pose” as Major and Billson puts it, and how to be a better mother to my future children from watching my mother and grandmother. You have to know how to deal with certain situations in the appropriate manner. I don’t believe only black men have to put on a pose, but that also black women have to so as well.
