You have to wonder what the intensely racist Margaret Mitchell would have said about her money going to build a mansion for a black bishop.

Margaret Mitchell would have said

She's been dead a long time. I think what's more relevant is how the many Catholics in the Atlanta area who are all constantly being exhorted to give more and more to the "archbishop's annual appeal" (goal $7.5 mil) react to this. The catholic church in atlanta has been determined to put a black man in the top position for decades, starting with the sex scandal of Eugene Marino, then going to Lyke who died (cancer I believe) then Donoghue (not black) followed Gregory who showed the less than stellar judgment of building a fancy house for himself. I guess he was inspired by the Vatican.

Margaret Mitchell used her personal funds to educate black medical students when she was alive because there weren't enough black doctors.

She may have been a racist by your shallow standards, but in her day she was called another name by idiots.

Margaret Mitchell was a major source of funds and scholarships to Atlanta’s black Universities. Her book is history. She had white guilt. Anyone called her a racist she whoop ya ass.
