if this is racist, then why wasn't it racist when the Wayans brother dressed in white face in WHITE CHICKS?

[blueshark2010]

@RONPAULPATRIOT44 Very true. This is not racist at all. In fact, Little Rascals was considered ground breaking because it was considered to be one of the first shows ever to show blacks and whites as equals and did not play on black stereotypes.

@MosJada The whole series was released on DVD and VHS by MGM. I don't know if they are still available new, but I'm sure you could find used copies at Amazon. Trouble is, there was about 23 volumes, and I'm not sure how you would find the volume this particular episode is on. O-tay?

@olddude521 Makes sense.

the gang didnt see color.

[olddude521]

@turnertalking you don't remember it because the original was pulled from the tv distribution package. If this was shown on tv, it was in an edited version that was so heavily edited that it literally made no sense.

I like the part when they kept laughing 1:19

[turnertalking]

WOW! I don't remember this one.

People look at all this stuff with today's standards in mind, I bet in 50 years people will be looking at the comedy styles of people like Bernie mack, Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker and even Will Smiths in his early career in a similar light.

Not racist. Just a common thing that was done back then. The ones who started it probably WERE making fun of blacks, but the little rascals were just doing something people would be familiar with. I love the little rascals though. One of the first movies to integrate whites and blacks like that. My grandad says the Depression really wasn't that bad because you didn't have all the worries that money brings. That's the vibe I get when I watch the little rascals.

@msmithstud I am a politically conscious blackman who fight daily against racism and I appreciate the humor in the lil rascals skits, I feel that America for all its faults towards blacks has grown up to the point to where blacks are not seen as bad as this skit suggests. I cant quit laughing. I also want to make note of the fact that out of all of the lil rascal's gang, Buckwheat was the most successful he worked as a chemist after getting a 4yr college degree
