How many remember viewing the "Our Gang" (aka "The Little Rascals") movie shorts from the 1930s as a child - either at the theater or on television? Were these the first truly integrated film entertainment in America? Farina, Stymie, Stymie's little brother, Cotton, made just as much trouble for their adult foils as Spanky, Alfalfa, et al., and nobody in the audience - no kids, no parents, no clergy, nobody - noticed or cared that they were not Caucasian.
