Quote:The black children in Our Gang often epitomized the early Hollywood pickaninny [6] stereotype. These characters provided comic relief by speaking a mangled form of English and by frequently being so frightened that either their hair stood on end, or they turned white with fear (a special effect created with negative film exposure techniques). The black children's fathers were perpetually mentioned as being in and out of jail, and the children themselves habitually ate watermelon and fried chicken in the shorts. Comedian Eddie Murphy controversially parodied Buckwheat and the stereotypical aspects of his character in a series of skits for Saturday Night Live.

Can you explain to me why I've heard Powell referred to as an uncle tom? Is that racist?

I'm just glad I was finally able to get you and snarg to agree on something. watching the old man chase you around the forum to disagree was getting old fast.
