Forrest was a virulent racist but that is irrelevant to his tactical genius hmmm I should email mack I haven't in a while she was doing good last time I talked to her.
Everyone short of Harriet Beecher Stowe was a virulent racist then on both sides(by our stnadards). One side had an economice reason (albeit flawed) to own slaves and the other did not. Blacks were second class citizens to all but the vanguard of abolitionists and public intermarriage was very very frowned upon.
Mack's boyfriend left at the same time...some folks thought he/she was running a double username split gender identity....LOL.
I appreciated her candor but her affection for the ol pocketbook gave me pause. She was likable ....and quite young...it was hard to hide. I remember the bleariness of youth....sort of..LOL
