I grew up reading Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.....loved them!Little Black Sambo....is also one of my childhood favorites.

I never considered Sambo racial....I didn't know what racial was...even growing up in the South.

We respected everyone....my parents taught me well.

Sambo, from my perspective, was a fun story about a tiger and pancakes!...

Remus was about being clever when folks are tyring to trick you.

The movie Glory..has quite a bit of colorful language the black soldiers say to each other....

..but it is one of the most stirring, emotionally wrenching movies and best I have seen in a long time.

In Amazing Grace...a cur & insolent Member of Paliament tries to sell his ('insert N word here'...but they say the word in the movie,)... and it shows clearly an example of the abuse, disrespect & incivility towards the slaves.

We are on a fast track to PC every bit of our heritage out of society.....all the colorful dialects, all the nuances.

Sambo is Indian, not negro

What's your opinion of Amazing Grace?

Personally haven't seen it yet, but when it comes out on DVD, can go get it.
