Huffington Post Haley Interview

[My Alter Ego]

Someone on the Internet said they first heard this around 1940:

Uncle Tom! Uncle Tom! What makes the grass grow so green, Uncle Tom?

Bullshit, Little Eva, bullshit!

Probably related in some way to:

After Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin, outraged slave owners produced a number of works called “Anti-Tom literature.” Very few of them were targeted at kids, though, which is where Little Eva stands out from the pack. In Philip J. Cozan’s Little Eva, a young girl teaches the child slaves on her father’s plantation how to read and write. When the slaves are set free, they opt to stay on the plantation with Little Eva because she was so kind and good to them.

Miguel, thanks for the research (the current pearls of wisdom "easy peasy, lemon squeezy" and "bullshit, little Eva").

In fact, thank you once again, for all you have done and continue to do regarding this site!
