The mammy is an archetype, portraying a domestic servant of African descent who is generally good-natured, often overweight, and loud. The stereotypical mammy is portrayed as obsequiously servile or acting in, or protective of, the interests of whites
Although the word "mammy" is a variant of "mother" and was common in North America, it is now rarely used and typically considered an ethnic slur. In parts of the UK however, mammy is still widely used as a synonym for "mother" by young people, without any racial connotation.

1: A Toxic Black Woman with Internalized Misogyny who engages in Black Male Worship. Any Black Woman who doesn't participate in this foolery is seen as self-hating or a feminazi.
Mammy behavior includes:
- Speaking Life into Dusties who do not want to be Men
- Humiliating or prostrating themselves before Dusties
- Agree to go 50/50 on the rent
- Trying too hard to prove that she's "not like the rest of these hoes"
- Being in competition with & even hating their Black Daughters. She's a very stupid and wicked Woman who will always blame Black Girls for being victims of SA or call them "fast", meanwhile, Black Males who prey on them are never held accountable & are seen as victims
- Using Religion to justify why Black Women should be in service to Dusties & tip-toe around their feelings so they won't feel sad or be emasculated by every small thing Women do. The fragile fee-fees of the Man is top priority
- Listens to or overvalues the unsolicited opinions of Dusties in Black Women's business & views it as gospel. To the Mammy, the Black Man is never wrong & entitled to Black Women's spaces
- Basically, will always be seen covering for & enabling problematic things Dusties do. The Mammy is too afraid to hold Black Men accountable for fear of rejection by their Kangz. They believe along with Dusties that only Black Men are victims while everyone else is out to get them
