Just speaking from memory - and the memory is not what it used to be!!!

Maybe the doc was on both women? But somehow I've got it my head that it was Hattie getting slapped... anyway, thanks for the correction!

i did wonder about that, didn't think hattie mcdaniel was the one who was slapped. that actress who played prissy died tragically in a fire a few years ago, i seem to recall.

Did you read about her stand against whites in her LA community who wanted to have anti- black laws? What did ms. McDaniel do? She wasn't a sellout. Sure she represented something blacks wanted to get away from. But she did not sell out her race. Go back and read carefully. </div></div>

People will always have selective recollection, or will take things out of context. Hattie was successful during the Great Depression - when, as a group, black people in America fared the worst.

I do not love her in GWTW. Matter of fact, I do not love the movie, precisely because of the portrayal of her and blacks in the flick. But she needed to work and when it comes down to it, she did what she had to do.

blu and others like him, can rake her over the coals from the comfort of their homes while reaping the benefits of the opportunities that she paved the way for them to enjoy.

It's easy and it's cowardly.

I do not like some of the choices she made but I will not disparage her, or remember her only for those choices. She was much more than 'mammy'. The abuse that she overcame, the fights that she won, her struggle to define herself when a white world wanted to box her in, those are the things that she should be remembered for.

Thank you for saying so eloquently what I could not begin to put into words.. Monique thanked Hattie because SHE SHOULD HAVE, for her ROLE IN SOCIETY, not because she PLAYED A MAMMIE IN A FILM...

TO COMPARE THE TWO OF THEM IS LIKE COMPARING EGGS TO ACKEE!!!!!!!!!!!
