I think the story might be a little politically incorrect in this day and age, BUT that's not the story here. The story is telling how Little Black Sambo was such a smart little boy that he used his own wits and ingenuity and didn't depend on anyone else to get him out of the situation with the jungle animals. And isn't that the story for all people to learn from day one, not just in todays society? The only thing wrong with the book is that my Mother read the story to me from a little Golden Book and I liked the pictures much more than this book, but like I said before that is a minimal problem, the wording is still the same and that's what a story book is for, correct? The Little Black Mingo story I had never heard, but it also was very inspiring for people to depend on themselves to get out of some tough situations AND she was female which is wonderful for little girls to learn. Kind of like Aesop's Fables for me, which I feel are great stories for young people to learn. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Oddly this book never offended me as a child... *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2012* As a child my Dad read us this book many times, we neither found it offensive or thought anything one way or the other of people of color. I was born in 1961 and certainly was unaware of the racial tensions of the times or the historical context. I do think people would find it wildly offensive now, but as another reviewer noted you MUST take into account the time it was written. People pretty much accepted how things were during any time in history, it's just how things WERE, right or wrong it just was. And this book represents how things were and I believe is an important historical document. Rather than getting upset, why not use it as a teaching tool? Ban it? NEVER. Stop printing it? Never, that makes you a Nazi book burner because people don't/didnt' see things your way. This is America pal, and you can't stop free speech or erase history. I love this book and its part of my childhood and my history. Obviously I am white...I do have black relatives...and if you are black? Yes, it's a part of history and it's a part of accepting how things were and seeing how they are now, and being proud of progress...not being angry at what you had no part of. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Brainwashing Social Conditioning *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2023* Great black history on the poor education of people of color. Highly racist book that supports it penance and white supremacy.
