Thanks, same here. We have been to Georgia to see Margret Mitchell’s hometown. We also have several early and late editions of the book too.
We find GWTW collectors every where we go. It’s is so sad, political correctness and big government want to intrude into our lives at this level and tell us we are racists because of our heritage.
These people who would have us deny or change our heritage are fools. It’s like trying to change the spots on a leopard. There’s nothing we can do to change the past except learn from our past failures and successes.
People descended from slaves must recognize the successes they have achieved since the abolition of slavery, instead they dwell on their failures and continue to blame it on racism.
I fear for America. Like the old South, the America we once knew may soon be GWTW.
“People descended from slaves must recognize the successes they have achieved since the abolition of slavery, instead they dwell on their failures and continue to blame it on racism.”
And be thankful that they live in the land of opportunity instead of some village in Africa.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. Yes, gone with the wind, Cynara. I never thought it would happen in my lifetime.
I actually would love to move to Georgia to be close to the source of the book. That’s how much I love it.
