Why is the lady almost the same color as tom? I don’t remember this being a furry show.
If I recall, the ‘maid’ was a feline character of a black mammy stereotype. But I haven’t seen this cartoon since the 80s, for obvious reasons.
What are the reasons ?
Because it was blatantly racist. I only saw it on a VHS of various cartoons from the 50s-60s that my southern grandparents probably bought at a truck stop not knowing what was on it.
There was also a cartoon where the main character was an explorer being chased by charicatures of indigenous natives that wanted nothing more than to poke him with spears and cook him in a pot.
Yep this is what is gen X kids grew up on in the '70s. And we watched the same ones at least 30 times each every weekend. So you’ve got to give us credit for any progress we’ve made despite this programming in our childhood.
Its a black maid I believe. These cartoons were sometimes a product of their time, aka, racist.
First? First mechanisms were invented during the Bronze Age, maybe even earlier.
Yeah, I was thinking maybe the Luddites/weavers might be the first job loss victims but you’re probably right.
And in the end it still couldn’t outdo Tom. Just like how a certain modern “invention” will never be abkentk fully outdo professionals.
Didn’t Jerry team up with Tom to defeat the robot?
