Now there was a time when even I as a kid would question whether the WWF was racist. But then there was the time that they made the answer easy for me when they gave me and America, Kamala, The Ugandan Giant. Not only was Kamala not really from Uganda, not really Idi Amin's bodyguard, as a matter of fact Kamala wasn't really from Africa. It turns out that he was actually an American, from Mississippi.
To be fair, it wasn't like The W.W.F. created Kamala. He got his start in smaller wrestling organizations before he made it to the big time in the WWF. Once he got on the national stage, the coonism took exponential gains.
Kamala not only was a "savage" but he also had a trainer, not a manager, but a trainer, Kim Chee, that had to whip him in order to calm him down because he was out of control. Then to make matters even more racist, McMahon and the other big heads in The WWE decided to make Sick his manager. You remember Slick, the Black Jive - talking preacher that was kind of like a pimp. From Kamala to The Rock. Wow. We have really come a long way.
