Think of your grandparents' deaths. Like you, their deaths are seared on my memory more than my own birthday. Why? Because I'm white. If I had to administer anything in one of my grandparent's estates, I would be honored. But we have too much family in between me at 44 and the grandparents in their old age. Why? Because we are white. Because white families stick around. If I ever collected welfare or "SSI" on behalf of one of my relatives, I would probably spend six months or so figuring out precisely what that relative would have had done with their extra money they didn't know about. Because if they knew about it, they'd have invested it or possibly simply said "I didn't really earn that." In either way, I would have as you would, tried to understand how to stretch their given dollar as they would have liked - with a sort of single-minded understanding we are living out what they left without them knowing they'd left it, and therefore, if they are in heaven, they will love this shit. They will adore it. They will thank God that, somehow, despite my conceits and my own awful self, my nephew, child or grandchild did me so good in so many ways I couldn't have imagined. Why, I existed and now it makes sense! But But But But Jasmine Crockett, she stole her grandmother's inheritance. For 20 years, to the tune of half a mil. She stole that money off your back and mine. She stole that money from my grandma, who would sometimes slip me an extra 5 for folding laundry or pre washing dishes. This is in the 80s when I was a young lady and I learned to make my grandparents proud of me as some sort of rite of passage. Today, none of this matters. Today, Jasmine Crockett spends her grandmother's death money on false eyelashes and Google AdWords.
