I started kindergarten in 1963, they were starting to integrate from all white kids to mixed, the adults had the problem, we kids didn't care, they were just more kids we thought we could play with, but we had different recess times. I remember crying when my taxi was there to pick me up, I didn't ride a school bus, my grandparents had a taxi driver for me, when I got home, I told my grandma about it, and she said, remember we all bleed red, the adults are acting worse than 2-year-old babies, I was lucky, I'm Native American but my skin is a medium tan color. All those poor kids wanted was an education and they were called names, spit at, had rotten food thrown at them, it was awful America is full of horrible red stains.

Katherine Hepburn was an outspoken progressive.

A friend of my Grandfather worked in Hollywood as a stunt double for Tom Miks. He told Grandpa once that John Wayne was biggest piece of shit he had ever met. Most people back then had attitudes and opinions that were considered to be "no big deal" for the time. They are horrifying now. I'm excusing prejudice and bigotry, just saying that attitudes are like time, they change slowly.

The question regarding Clark Gable is not worth asking and certainly not worth answering. Clark Gable was probably the greatest American male actor. And his contribution to American film cannot be equaled. And at a time when men on film are not supposed to be pegged as artistic, Clark Gable was artistic - as seen in the varied performances - in the hard nosed or romantic or adventurous or sympathetic or sensitive performances in his body of work.

As a Black man I can't agree with the Clark Gable narrative, out of all of these i feel like the man was doing what they did in his times, I really feel like he didn't care for blacks, but he didn't hate them, it was all part of the culture
