NEW YORK (AP) — When Oprah Winfrey was a youngster, the mere sighting of an African-American on television was occasion to alert all the neighbors, she recalled.
"We would call them to say, 'Colored people are on TV! Colored people are on!'" The only black child she was ever likely to see telecast was the unflattering role model Buckwheat on the ancient "Little Rascals" comedies, Winfrey added.

Is it "racist" that I posted this in General Chat instead of Breaking News?
Things were really racist when I was little, we didn’t even have a color TV in our house.
Is there a category labeled "death wish?"
“hey hey hey hey - whasshappin Rog?”
I guess she never watched Star Trek, eh?
What the hell ever she was...as if anybody cares.
She's currently a hypocritical race-baiting fat ass, and any thing she has to say on any thing is of absolutely no interest to me.
And I suspect quite a few other people, as well.
I'm tired of pontificating liberal ass wipes.
And that includes her buddy, obama and that mouthy Sasquatch he's married to.
Fed up, I am and I ain't staying quiet about it no more.
The interaction between Fred Sanford and aunt Esther was just hilarious :-)
Sanford and Son was great. Then came Flip Wilson.
There were blacks in the early Perry Mason shows. Asians too.
Blacks have created movies in the early days of hollywood.
All one has to do is go to the library and discover...oh wait...no one is expected to do that in public schools they’re too busy advancing lgbtqi doctrine!
Fred didn’t trust Julio because he was “Mexican”.
I miss AMOS AND ANDY along with the Kingfisher and Samantha!
I miss Rochester of the Jack Benny Show!
I DON’T remember Farina, Stymie or Buckwheat being made fun of any more than the other OUR GANG members.
I guess she never watched The Nat King Cole show, or The Ed Sullivan Show in the 50’s.
And I’m getting pretty sick of that. It seems that every single movie now has to have at least one black. And every single commercial on TV has to have a black somewhere at the picnic table, sitting in the living room with whites, and you name it. Evert sports panel has to have at least one black.
Not bad when you consider that they’re barely 11% of our population. But they’re at least 1/3 to 1/2 of anyone in a commercial.
My buddy and I have a game to find the “black” whenever any commercial comes on. And very, very seldom do we ever NOT find one somewhere.
If anything, Farina and Stymie often seemed to come across as a tad ‘smarter,’ or at least more savvy, than most of their fellow Our Gang members. Buckwheat... eh, not so much. But he certainly wasn’t derided or made fun of.
I've noticed it too, starting in 2008 (SHOCKING, Huh?).
Hope+Change+White Privilege, ummm, ummm, ummm...
If aliens are watching, they’d think half of this planet is black and the other half are gay.
No wonder they haven’t landed.
Buckwheat was a genius compared to Oprah, let alone Obama.
