Quoted from jonnyo:

Wow, I never noticed that. That's a pickaninny - a racist, black caricature.

Come to Ohio or Michigan sometime.

Plenty of black women with amazingly full lips and pigtailed hair, nothing racist about it.

Quoted from jonnyo:

That may be true, but it doesn't nullify the nearly hundred years when it was used for racist purposes.

If the child was eating a watermelon or being bit by an alligator, I'd agree with you.

If you had ever hung out with Python, you would know he was the least racist person in the world.

And that crap is a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG way from Python's art.

Yeah, Happy Gang has something for everyone.

Jews, Irish, Blacks, Asian, Spanish, American Indians, Mexicans.....

....I know it was all tongue an cheek, but those had to be some insulated times back then.
