I am so not a racist (I have a mixed race daughter) and she and I both laugh at the absurdity of the blackface scene as well. If you notice, Barney looks annoyed by the fact that he is in blackface at the end of the scene. I remember laughing my little heinie off at that part when I was little, and never associated it with Black people, just with country people in general... That's cuz I grew up with super-tolerant parents. I knew nothing about racism until I was older. Still love this toon!
"Mammys little baby loves shortnin, shortnin, mammys little baby loves shortnin bread!" and I laugh at the absurdity even though I am african american and japanese! Thanks for the upload!
Fred Quimby always made fun of African Americans! It wasen't very nice back then!

I had always thought that cut from the electrocution scene was rather abrupt. This explains it.

amazing how cutting out a full gag doesn't affect the cartoon in the least.

The normally cut scene with Barney and the duck in blackface is animated by Ray Patterson. XD

@Uncutcartoons247 They did. My favorite animator on this short is Mike Lah, though.
