I remember sambo, but if I wanted to make racial remarks I would just call him sambo, much the way jessie jackson and his ilk quickly call any black person who stands up on his own two feet an uncle tom...

When I was a small child living in a rough neighborhood of Brooklyn, most all my friends were black, we were all very close friends, we all hung out together, black, white, and hispanic... and we didn't even notice at all that we were different, we just though that's how people came, in different color tones, and we completely though absolutely nothing about it... the concept of race never crossed our minds...

It wasn't until we move to the south when I first heard racial comments, I was stunned and offended for my friends in the north... right, as a child we're very innocent, we should live that way our whole life...

That reminds me of what picasso once said... he said when he was a child he was already painting like rembrandt... and it took him another 60 years to learn how to paint like a child...
