I get this when i combine all that.........and Tom Hanks was in the Davinci code........as the main character...........Robert L...............largest slave auction in the history of the USA.......at Savannah, GA.........where he is at a bus stop........specifically in Forrest Gump.............he is labeled as stupid.....below average iq...........which is what they have been calling blacks.......i don't know 100%...........ask him.......it fits..............






Now put that together.........with this........


Plot[edit]

In 1981, Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), a man with below-average intelligence, watches a feather fall from the sky at a bus stop in Savannah, Georgia. As he sits down on a bench, he removes a copy of The Adventures of Curious George from his suitcase and places the feather inside the pages. He introduces himself and begins telling his life story to strangers who sit next to him on the bench, recounting his childhood in Greenbow, Alabama. As a child in the 1950s, Forrest (Michael Connor Humphreys) had to wear leg braces for which other children make fun of him. He lives with his single mother (Sally Field) in a very large house outside of town, which they rent rooms to travelers. His father apparently left and he never knew him. Despite his limited mental capacity, Mrs. Gump tells her son that "stupid is as stupid does" (which he later uses as a retort when called "stupid")
The 1st time.......i heard that Forrest........Tom Hanks name in this flick.......was an allusion to Nathan Bedford Forrest....i didn't believe it......b/c he seems so nice........as in not racist......the whole run Forrest run........being run, ni**er, ni**er.......i didn't believe it......



The Largest Slave Auction
March 3, 1859 

In spite of having inherited two plantations, Pierce M. Butler owed a great deal of money. Over two days, Butler auctioned off the human portion of his property to help pay off his debts. It was the largest sale of slaves on record in the United States, and it was referred to as "The Weeping Time."
The 436 men, women, children, and infants, all of whom had been born on his plantations, were brought to a racetrack in Savannah, Georgia, and put in the stalls used for horses. There they waited, some for days, others for weeks, for the auction to begin on March 3, 1859.
