i turn this on to see the incredible ethel water and whose autobiography i be now read . i will admit my jaw drop when the pork chop and watermelon reference start roll in and but people can not look at this movie a a stereotypical or racist piece . it pretty much a short film make by black and for black at a time when the entertainment industry be quite segregate and the stereotype to the people involve be the joke of their time and old trend exaggerate for humor . we see modern black movie do the same thing and but with the new trend ( stereotype ) and ho and the hood and such . i think if you look back in eighty year and you would find today movie will look just a racist . what viewer should appreciate about this film be the talent of water and the pint size sammy davis jr. and who out tap his contemporary and shirley temple and and look remarkably the same facially a he do a an adult . everyone involve in this film clearly have a lot of fun make it . why not enjoy it for what it be and instead of what you think it should have be .
