My bad sorta. I was referring to the slave girl who said, “don’t know nothin’ about birthin’ babies”, in contrast to Mammy. I didn’t know which actress Hatty was. What I was responding to was someone’s comment that the “don’t know nothin’” lady was likely the character deemed to be a racist portrayal.

I know what you mean...I must say, though, that line has found its way into frequent use for me...when attempting to look at an issue I know very little about, I use that quote to convey it in a humorous way.

That young girl spoke more eloquently than many young people I have heard in this day and age...
