I saw this in a flee market and found it simultaneously horrifying and hilarious. I’m curious about how something like this might have come to be?

    Coffee: A portafilter machine I guess. It brewed coffee once upon a time. It even has those steam pipes to froth milk. The writing on the lower left says coffee something. There is a portafilter.

    Don’t know anything about the decoration.

        The mammy is usually portrayed as an older woman, overweight, and dark skinned. She is an idealized figure of a caregiver: amiable, loyal, maternal, non-threatening, obedient, and submissive. The mammy figure demonstrates deference to white authority.

        Um yes. Racism. And bad taste. Thanks.
