The Help — What is the issue with representation in Miss Skeeter’s story?

Miss Skeeter’s story is obviously a good thing for black people in society. Having a white woman tell a story is a complete win. Although she is only properly taking on perspective one black woman it moves from what we know and she thinks is fact to opinion. As you cannot speak about this issue without taking both sides. In every book, the antagonist has a voice to, to contrast the white and black in society you simply need both sides. She has to take more perspectives and more importantly take perspectives fo the white people and the prejudice they have against black people in society. And another problem with the book is the idea that a black woman should and is telling it but rather a white person is taking credit. But I feel that is not enough as it will be more compelling coming from white women in society.
