“McDaniel experienced racism and racial segregation throughout her career, and was unable to attend the premiere of Gone with the Wind in Atlanta because it was held at a whites-only theater. At the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, she sat at a segregated table at the side of the room. In 1952, McDaniel died due to breast cancer. Her final wish to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery was denied due to the graveyard being restricted to whites-only at the time.”

” She performed on radio as ‘Hi-Hat Hattie’, a bossy maid who often ‘forgets her place’. Her show became popular, but her salary was so low that she had to keep working as a maid.”
“Judge Priest (1934), directed by John Ford and starring Will Rogers, was the first film in which she played a major role. She had a leading part in the film and demonstrated her singing talent, including a duet with Rogers. McDaniel and Rogers became friends during filming.”
“The competition to win the part of Mammy in Gone with the Wind was almost as fierce as that for Scarlett O’Hara. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt wrote to film producer David O. Selznick to ask that her own maid, Elizabeth McDuffie, be given the part. McDaniel did not think she would be chosen because she had earned her reputation as a comic actress. One source claimed that Clark Gable recommended that the role be given to McDaniel; in any case, she went to her audition dressed in an authentic maid’s uniform and won the part.”
“The IRS claimed the estate owed more than $11,000 in taxes. In the end, the probate court ordered all of her property, including her Oscar, sold to pay off creditors. Years later, the Oscar turned up where McDaniel wanted it to be: Howard University, where, according to reports, it was displayed in a glass case in the university’s drama department. However, it appears to have gone missing from Howard in the 1960s or 1970s and has never been recovered.”
“’Why should I complain about making $700 a week playing a maid? If I didn’t, I’d be making $7 a week being one.”
“Time magazine, in its issue of December 17, 1945, reported:
‘Spacious, well-kept West Adams Heights still had the complacent look of the days when most of Los Angeles’ aristocracy lived there. ...
‘In 1938, Negroes, willing and able to pay $15,000 and up for Heights property, had begun moving into the old eclectic mansions. Many were movie folk — Actresses Louise Beavers, Hattie McDaniel, Ethel Waters, etc. They improved their holdings, kept their well-defined ways, quickly won more than tolerance from most of their white neighbors.
‘But some whites, refusing to be comforted, had referred to the original racial restriction covenant that came with the development of West Adams Heights back in 1902 which restricted “Non-caucasians” from owning property. For seven years they had tried to enforce it, but failed. Then they went to court. ...
‘Superior Judge Thurmond Clarke decided to visit the disputed ground—popularly known as “Sugar Hill” ... Next morning, ... Judge Clarke threw the case out of court. His reason: ‘It is time that members of the Negro race are accorded, without reservations or evasions, the full rights guaranteed them under the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Judges have been avoiding the real issue too long.’
‘Said Hattie McDaniel, of West Adams Heights: “Words cannot express my appreciation.”’
“McDaniel had purchased her white, two-story, seventeen-room house in 1942. The house included a large living room, dining room, drawing room, den, butler’s pantry, kitchen, service porch, library, four bedrooms and a basement. McDaniel had a yearly Hollywood party. Everyone knew that the king of Hollywood, Clark Gable, could always be found at McDaniel’s parties.”
So true. Same tactic of entertainment industry. Introduce something abnormal and then add to it in subsequent offerings. Advertising now going same way soon whites will be minorities portrayed in commercials
“Maybe they should try educating the kids instead of this crab.”
Putting oneself in the shoes or the positions of others enables better, more informed understanding and decision making.
Innocent white children were not guilt-shamed, merely hopefully informed about slave feelings.
and the white students who refused ???
“Advertising now going same way soon whites will be minorities portrayed in commercials.”
Advertising aims at the future. In terms of future live years, whites might already be a minority in the USA.
‘The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,’ lead supporter Sen. Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. ‘It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.’”

Just reverse the races. Now: Still in "good fun?"

They had already been subjected to months of "grooming" (subtle brainwashing, incremental abuse) by this "teacher."

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I’m surprised he didn’t have them lynch a white kid, all in good fun of course.
Which is why any sane parent should avoid all public school.
“I get a muzzie/ taquiya vibe from him.”
Me, too. I think it’s the hat.
“Then, did he also REVERSE the roles based on skin color??
- have the black kids bow and act like servants to the white kids???”
Maybe the school administration SHOULD do that — reverse the roles. Have the black kids bow to, feed and fan the white kids. Just to make things even. Seriously.
What if black students had to bow to white students? Nobody would say that is all in good fun.
And the beard. I trust him and his “apology“ as far as I could throw him.
He is so full of sh*t his eyes are brown.
I want to be an example for them.
He was
Who thinks that anti-white racist bigotry is "good fun"? A white-hating leftist with an over-the-top political agenda, that he shoves down the throats of his students.
Take your disease out of this school and all other schools. Permanently.
One liberal asshole fired, millions to go.
