  Hattie McDaniel made GWTW the great movie it is. You can't help but love her character and acting. Snagged an Oscar for it.

  Hattie McDaniel, "I'd rather play a maid than be one."
  
  Geez, I really disliked that movie ... not because it was a romantic view of slavery but because so many southern girls tried to emulate Scarlett ... or so it seemed at the time ...
  
  I did a book report on Gone With The Wind in the 8th grade and ripped it apart ... the teacher had it in for me the rest of the year because it was her FAVORITE book ... yeah, she was as much a vacuous ninny as Scarlett

  Phish, the wauh is over.
  
  In '70, I was a young City Engineer. We had construction crews that installed curbs and gutters and sewers. They worked hard, but they were well paid and had great bennies. I had my favorites.
  
  One had a sparkle on his tooth. I liked him, and he liked me.
  
  I would visit the job site, and sit and talk with him. Not only did I like his stories, I liked the way he told them. He was quite a fellow.
  
  One day, he wasn't there. I wanted to know.
  
  "He had to go to the doctor. He had 'high blood'".
  
  He came back a couple days later. Seemed fine, with the same grin, and the same old stories. I loved that guy, if you can understand that.
  
  My man Paul, is as strong as a bull. He can fix anything. He appreciates his work opportunity. And if he thought you might mess with Ol' Reck, he would kick your **** from here to Luduwici. That's prolly all I should say about that.

  Would you like me to rephrase it. Because I wrote out a few paragraphs regarding the matter that I know at least one person won't like any where near as much as your image suggest.

  Huckleberry Finn is my favorite book ...
  
  Jim is the most noble character in that book ... as anyone who has read it should know

  I know you know, we've responded to each other for years. But what about this exactly is a two way street?

  Whites have done wrong, Blacks have done wrong, the Chinese, Japanese, Germans have also!! Yet it's the whites that are the only ones who are responsible for the misdeeds of their ancestors and everyone else is forgiven and given a fresh start because "the current population didn't commit these wrongs"!!!
  And as an FYI, our ancestors couldn’t have bought slaves if blacks ancestors hadn't captured and sold them to them!!!!
  
  I get the feeling that this is really more like one of them round-a-bouts, instead of a two way street :-)

  Slavery existed on this continent well before any Africans came here. It's been around since the Biblical days. It still exists.
