What?

The movie starts with Forrest introducing himself to a black woman as being named after, and descended from, Nathan Bedford Forrest, slave catcher, Civil War general, and KKK founder. Who, btw, racists keep trying to rehabilitate with revisionism.

It's kind of brushed off because Forrest is clearly off, mentally, but it gets a little more suspicious considering all of the whitewashing in the movie.
