Nanny has experienced a lot in her life; all she knows is that white have always had more power than black people. In this scene, Nanny is talking to Janie about how blacks have always been put under whites, and how she wants Janie's life to be different. "Honey de white man is de ruler as fur as Ah been able tuh find out." Nanny is the one speaking in this passage, she has the most experience in life and has been the one guiding Janie. In the scene before this, Nanny has just slapped Janie to make Janie respect her. This is revelant because Nanny wants her to learn respect, for use later in life.
