    It's a racial slur. But years ago before EVERYTHING was considered a racial thing, it was just a cute story.

    Directed by Ub Iwerks, Shamus Culhane, Al Eugster. Mammy gives Little Black Sambo a quick scrub on the washboard, then pats him down with baby powder, black baby powder, before sending him off to play. She warns him about the tiger. "That ol' tiger sure do like dark meat!" The family dog has brushed up against a freshly painted fence and now fancies himself to be a scary tiger.
