There are currently many images of Al Jolson from Mammy in various listings on eBay and also a load of images of Hattie McDaniel in GWTW listings. They don’t seem to be consistent in enforcing their policies.
John From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Calvert Sent: 18 August, 2022 7:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] Ebay and their offensive policy I have thousands of stills listed. On Monday Ebay knocked off an Al Jolson in black face. I didn't have it listed as black face, but they took it off as offensive. I can see that could be a problem so no big deal. Then today they knocked off 3 Hattie McDaniel stills from GWTW. I am sure some could find her role offensive, but she was a great actress playing a part, and a good part of a strong person. I respected her acting ability. She was not a Stepin Fetchit type of actor, even though he was playing a character. I am white, but I would be offended that they are trying to eliminate a great respected actress from the Golden Age. Not trying to start a race conversation, just my rant toward the policy.
