The Importance of Green Flake

Post by moksha »

Green Flake, a slave of African ancestry, was driving the covered wagon with a sick Brigham Young laying down in the back while descending from Emigration Canyon to the Salt Lake Valley. Green Flake paused the wagon and shouted to Brigham, "This is the place, Massa Brigham!"
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Maybe indirectly. Mr. Green Flake may have been given that surname from an owner with the last name, "Flake". That guy might be an ancestor of the former senator. I'm not sure that means we can seal Green to Jeff, nor does this grant anyone an "N-word" pass.
