Re: “What do we say when Mammy (Hattie McDaniel) acts like a happy slave who adores her masters?”

Well, if there is a bright side, Mammy probably had a better standard of living than 95% of the women in Africa.

I'll bet some of Richard Pryor's nightclub routines from the 1970s would still shock a lot of Democrats.

Like, when he plays the Black evangelical faith healer...

“Reverend, can you heal our water head baby?”

“Get that thing away from me. That sh*** contagious!”

Half of Gone with the Wind is after the war

And Mammy stayed with the family after the war when she was no longer a slave

So simple question?

How many slaves, after the war, when they were no longer slaves, continued to stay on with their former masters?
Zas employees or part of the family or some other capacity?

There should be historical record of that

Mammy was a great character, a tough nut who didn’t take any garbage.

And Rhett highly prized her approval.
