I'm not convinced Groshe would share your dismissive attitude in reference to McCurdy.Seemingly neither researcher considered the epithet "melungeon", or the denigrating attitudes typical of those who used the epithet, to be accepted by the individuals referenced by the term.While the creative license utilized by the poet and essayist Will Allen Dromgoole was clearly the impetus of the "myth", the most recent amplifier of "myth" surrounding this complexion related slur was the production of Kermit Hunter's fictional drama.The resulting rush to rehabilitate the slur might distort the accurate historical context of such once enclaved multi-ethnic groups throughout the abandoned back country Amerind homelands if it has not actually become the final chapter of the "passing" phenomena for many descendants of these surnames.
