Racial Stereotypes in Cartoons -



I love my Grandsons

I read books to them

Image may contain: 1 person, smiling

 and I watch cartoons with them 

The other day we were watching Tom and Jerry


and Lo-and Behold Mammy Two Shoes appeared.
Wow talk about Racial stereotypes !

But times were what they were and Hollywood
chased the mighty dollar no matter where it lead.
