Well, it IS a little racist. I found myself flinching many a times at the words used to describe the blacks. But there ARE umpteen instances in the novel where Scarlett, Rhett and other lead protagonists show their affection to their slaves!
Not that it justifies their racist comments, but somehow their behaviour becomes understandable and you don't see the characters in a negative light. It's just their way of life.
I agree and the relationship Scarlett shared with her Mammy was so cute,Pork with Gerald was great too.
Even though the book is a little racist I still like it,I loved Scarlett,Rhett,Melanie and Gerald.
I wish there was a sequel to this book....well there IS a sequel but not by the same author so I don't want to read it.😳
