Well, I don't believe I've ever denied (or accepted, for that matter) the
question of Howard's racism.
Me either David, but I left when the argument changed......basically I figure he wasn't as bad as most of his time, but that still doesn't leave him blameless of the sin of racism. Of course, by our standards today almost Everyone in the world in the 1920's and 30's was racist......for a take on Mark Twain, read the latest Theodore Roosevelt bio..."Theodore Rex" by Edmund Morris where Roosevelt asks Twain if he (TR) had been wrong to ask Booker T. Washington to dinner. Twain politely sidesteps the issue by saying that a President may not be as free as others to invite or entertain whomever he wishes.....
