Today’s entry in the “Oh my God, I can’t believe there was a time when it was okay to put this on television” file is a clip of scenes from the ’80s PBS show “Many Voices, Many Visions” in which a little white girl with a perm gets teased by her peers for looking like a black boy. Fortunately, she’s got the world’s best mom to comfort her. After Mom tells the little girl, “It’s just a perm, it’ll grow out,” she adds, “It’s not like you’re really black.” Phew! That would be way worse! Thanks, Mom!

Ahh, nostalgia. How this takes me back to the casual racism of the eighties.
White people still suck, though.

We won’t be seeing THAT clip during pledge drive
“You dont look like a black boy. You look like a Jew. A cheap little Jew. Now go do my taxes while I go lay out some slacks and a tie for my little girl to wear to school tomorrow.”
In the immortal words of Rick James… Cocaine is a hell-of-a drug!!!
“Of course you’re not black, your father is standing right there.”
“How about we prove them all wrong and go swimming?”
“Are you sure mom? Because I was late for my after-school job.”
“Mommy, they said I look like that black mailman that keeps visiting you.”
THAT’S A FUCKING GIRL?!?!
I knew that I was not really black the first time that I took a bath.
“Its okay, at least you’re not a stinky Mexican!”
