I dunno tho he's in his mid 50's I believe so the covers may have been different back then. Either way tee off on a nikka then think about it later rightNah that's not the cover the book is most know for. I've read it over a decade ago and the one below is the only one I've ever seen in person or in book stores. He was trying to insult you.
or this one
Nah babe the movie with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh was made in 1939. It was an insult. The book is about how White people in the South suffered during the war. All the Blacks in the book with a few exceptions are shown as disloyal and joyous as they "abandon" the Whites. It was a racist insult.

This thread put me through so many turns.
At first, I thought white dude was racist and wanted drag him, then it turns out you just have racial ear. Then, you talked about your supervisor doing a clear personnel violation and I wanted you to pursue that. But then again, found out you prematurely pulled the race card and can't pull it now.
