Description: Examples of black stereotypes from vintage films and cartoons, edited to music. These images are just a small sampling of how black people have been portrayed on a daily basis for many, many years. All of the clips used in this film were shown on television up until the 1980's. Many episodes of the Little Rascals have been "ethnically cleansed" over the years. Some 20 minute episodes were edited down to a mere 8 after removing all racial images/slurs. Several episodes were removed completely from the series. All of the major studios of the time, produced both live-action films and cartoons with portraying blacks in this manner. These films are a product of their times and while certainly not suitable for children, they are important historical documents. They represent a period of American history where views were very different than they are now. It is also important to remember that they were intended to be funny, not hurtful. One does not have to look far to find many other examples of racial stereotyping in popular media in the first half of the 20th century. Radio shows, movies, and comic strips were filled with caricatures of Blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and every other minority. It is to our great credit that we have evolved as far as we have since then, but we should preserve our history and not try to rewrite it in some Orwellian attempt to excise those parts of it that we now find abhorrent.

PrimalConcrete50 ::: Favorites Kinda funny how about half of that video has strong similarities to modern day "rap" videos and "hip hop" television and advertising. Hmmm....... 07-11-04 05:14:09 __________________________________________________

NewCastleluv ::: Favorites I looked up that cop, Officer Cassidy and that is horrible. If that person is caught they deserve to be shot in the face as well. But the article I read was from The Philadelphia Inquirer and the picture featured was of a little white boy standing in front of a female black cop at memorial held for the officer at City Hall- and I wondered, if fluffyisgone saw her walking down the street, would she just be a nigger too? 07-11-03 22:07:24 __________________________________________________

KishaMarie ::: Favorites fluffyisgone: I just think that anyone that will throw out the term slur "niggers" and equate it with thugs has issues and that any decent argument that could've been made about racist Blacks has been damaged from the onset by the language that you've used. 07-11-03 20:55:41 __________________________________________________
fluffyisgone ::: Favorites spectre1234 how did I undo my comment? Blacks demand equality, yet they kill, rape, murder, pillage with impunity?
