Uhm... you do realize that this picture is of an actor “in costume” in an “Our Gang” film, don’t you?

I responded to Trickyricky’s “Our Gang” reference, and he responded by posting a still of the character from one of the movies whose line was “Yum-yum, eat ‘em up!” Get the picture?

Uhm, you do realize that there are many examples of things in "Our Gang" films that have long been edited out because they are considered racist. If you look at the "Our Gang" filmography here, you'll find nearly 30 titles that have been edited or banned entirely "for perceived racism towards African-Americans". Here is the montage from the end of Spike Lee's movie "Bamboozled" showing various depictions of blacks (and whites in blackface) from various movies that gives a pretty good idea that what was once mainstream (plenty of famous faces) now clearly looks mighty racist.

And your explanation addresses my point how, exactly?
