I was shocked to see this game listed on boardgamegeek.com:





It's an American game from 1935 and apparently has rules similar to CHUTES AND LADDERS.  Sort of frightening that this game could actually get published and distributed in this country a mere 75 years ago.  We've come a long way.

I remember when I was a kid-on uhf channels-hell-even on affiliates of the Big 3!- these cartoons played every day before and after school-while Detroit was burning-these were airing for the children of the people fighting in the streets.

Though I never really found the Little Rascals racist. Sure-Buckwheats hair stood up when he was scared-but so did Moe Howards! It was slapstick. The kids in the Rascals always treated Stymie and Buckwheat as equals. In fact-most of the episodes which Stymie appeared in,he was usually a leader-not a follower. But the cartoons are propaganda that Hitler would have been proud of. This country denounced Hitler-even while we still promoted racism. Hitler based his 'Final Solution' on what we-the good ole USA-already succsesfully did with the American Indians. Put them in camps and kill them.

Hell, even Disney's The Song Of The South has never officially been released on video in the States due to it's controversial racial material.
