It was pointed out to me that there might have been undertones to my use of Billie Thomas' Buckwheat character from the Little Rascals. Absolutely not. In fact, Mr. Thomas himself defended his character when questioned about it. I double checked before I posted.
Since the source was comfortable with his character himself, I felt the photo was a tribute to one of my favorite programs. Anyone who knows me personally knows my respect for diversity of all kinds, from race, religion, and culture, to personality and body type.
I hope this clarifies my intent and purpose on this blog.
