Answer:
The above paragraph is part of the story "Everyday use" and is said by Dee's mother, to show her disrespect about the family history.
Explanation:
In "Everyday use" we are introduced to Dee, a black woman who, after getting involved with movements that fight for black rights and for the acceptance of African culture in her American descendants, began to think that her mother and sister, do not represent what a black should represent in America.
The paragraph shown above, shows how disrespectful Dee is against her ancestry, even defending respect for African ancestry. Dee's mother shows with this paragraph how she does not know the greatest example of black ancestry that she could have, her own family, that she does not know the story.
