"No, the restaurant had depictions of an Indian boy." - which was your attempt to falsify the post you were responding to.

You were defending the restaurant by claiming, inaccurately, that their decorations were of indian boys not african boys. Had you stated an accurate timeline: 'they were african boys until protests forced them to redesign their decorations, then they were indian boys', I would have had no problem with your post.

Others here, as well as you, seem to be confused about how the term Sambo, the book Little Black Sambo, and Sambo's Restaurant, intentionally or not, are all part and parcel of the white supremacist culture that was our mainstream culture until the civil rights protests of the 50's and the much maligned and more general protest movements of the 60's and 70's overthrew that culture. What was unremarkable then is now unthinkable and outrageous - for now. But...

We are in a counter-revolution culture war right now. Sarah Palin is the figurehead du jour of the counter-revolution. Their side knows full what they are doing and what they are fighting for, our side isn't even sure that there is a war going on.

We need to get a freaking clue. Calling Obama 'Sambo' is vile and unacceptable. I seem to recall one of our presidential candidates getting into some serious unpleasant shit over the phrase 'himey-town', remember that?
