The negro maid was heroic. The white heroine is riddled with dark triad traits. Pitty-Pat is immature, but simply a comic foil.
Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1893 – October 26, 1952) was an American actress, singer-songwriter, and comedian. For her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939), she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.

Right. And she was 100% supported by the movie’s star, Clark Gable.
But, hey. Let’s not focus on that. Instead, let’s pick at scabs that are trying to heal. That’s the position of the Left. Keep the country in constant turmoil.
Everybody is a victim.
Except white men, of course.
Agreed. It’s been years since I watched the movie, but that’s how I remember it. Scarlett acted like a wealthy airhead and the black maid acted like she was the only one in the room with common sense. And this was in a movie made in the 1930s.
The whole movie, the times back then in the dark South was ALL immoral. How do people think it is okay to own a person? Then the white masters had sex with the black women slaves.
My heritage is from Ireland. We were starved out by the English (King James bible tribe). But the Irish were free to go find a better life. The slaves were stuck, unless the white master wanted to sell them. Free farm help. My grandfather and his dad, HIRED men to help him.
