My mother once said that when she was a girl in Brooklyn, N.Y., they had a brand of stove polish called “N—ger Head.”
It even had a picture of a black guy’s head on the can!
Imagine how that would go over today.
Also, speaking of Hong Kong, there was once a brand of toothpaste there called “Darkie.”
In recent years, they changed the name to “Darlie.”
Darkie is now called Darlie. You can still buy it
You can still get pancakes at Tar Baby’s in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
