tkodahawk- I had a sigh of relief seeing this after 28 years. i was 11 when this came on and watched it with my mother, and she hated it, and said unfortunately its goin to become big.

odinsprogeny- Thank You for posting this. It was very funny, and It's cool to see that it had such a positive spin on it. I wish people were still nice like in this video.

Azizip17- Thanks for sharing this video! I hope that this is shown in schools throughout the world. Here's one important correction of the statement that was made at 5:18 of this video that "there's nothin but White folks in Poland, and South America, and in Europe". Besides the fact that Poland is part of Europe, it should be noted that back then & now there' were & are Black people & other People of Color in South America, Poland & in other European nations.

@Azizip17 Poland? Are you sure? The European countries with the biggest black populations are England (Scotland and Wales have some, but not many), France and Holland. The black populations in the rest of Europe are so small, they're hardly worth mentioning

@bugstrut I didn't say that Poland had more Black people than the UK. The comment in the video was that “there's nothin but White folks in Poland, & South America, & in Europe". 1. If you say Poland & Europe, that assumes that Poland isn’t in Europe. 2. The statement that there’s nothing but White folks in Poland, South America [!!] & the rest of Europe just ISN'T TRUE. And, regardless of their number, I think the presence of Black people in any nation deserves mention, and more.
