REPUBLICAN congressman steps in it

I would think people would cut him slack for "Sambo," which is at least a whimsical, old-timey antique slur.

Plus, I loved eating there as a kid.

 

Did any employees ever turn into butter?

 

I suspect most eventually turned into parolees.

 

I remember the school librarian reading Little Black Sambo to us. In 1981. God knows what she was thinking.

 

No offense meant. Can't speak for Starman explicitly, but I'm sure he meant it the same as I did: What you wrote reminded me of a funny scene in a movie. Nothing more.

 

There's a famous cartoon out there, I think it's Little Black Sambo running through Watermelon land that is one of the most jaw-dropping blatantly racist things I have ever seen...

 

My parents have an antique mall in a very diverse college town. One of the vendors in this mall brought in and set up a bunch of those old "Aunt Jemima" looking salt and pepper shakers to sell.
My dad, never one to mince words, told her "Why not put a lawn jockey outside...or, hell, let's save some time and burn the damn building down ourselves."
I think he was overreacting a bit, but how can someone this day and age think these kinds of things are okay to sell or display? Racist caricatures to hold your spices is not a good idea.

 

Is that on the extended version of the Song of the South or on the 1966 Kentucky Wildcats basketball highlights?

 

Pat Buchanan calls Obama "boy," but of course he meant nothing by it.

OK, that was funny.

 

Says the person who called Bachmann the c-word.
