Man, white people really perfected racism in the 30-50s. I was flicking through some channels last night, and a movie called Band of Angels was mislabeled as Rawhide due to Day Lights Savings... and that movie is something else. It's basically an attempt at recreating Gone with the Wind and that shit is every bit as racist.
There's a scene where the plantation owners come back home after a long hiatus, and the slaves just break out into song and dance because they're excited Master is back... skipping and jiving across the plantation. There was one slave going HAM, dude was leading the pack, shucking and jiving like a motherfucker. The blatant racism in these movies are just funny as fuck at this point.
