Scarlett O’Hara maybe got what she deserved, but you be the judge of that when you watch this deeply problematic yet beautifully filmed Civil War epic, Readers. Let’s discuss Hattie McDaniel. Hattie stole the show and still had to sit at the back of the room because of the color of her skin on Oscar night and would you believe that in nearly one hundred years, we aren’t doing much better? The old south is dead and it needs to stay that way so that Miss McDaniel can sashay freely in her red petticoat at the front of the room.
