Why cartoon characters always had white gloves.

Most of us have no clue. Look up the term 'White Cap.' Then you'll know why they say,"Good guys wear the white hat."Hidden racism everywhere.
And another; If you're a Black man in a predominate white environment many of the white men might refer to you as 'boss.' Look that up also.
Could you tell me more?
Using the word "boss" is a regular part of my speech pattern. It's more of an adoption influenced by company and environment, I'm certain.
Ehh everyone says that not just whites
From what I've read, back in the day, the term "boss" was used because white men didn't want to call black men in authority "sir". I don't think that is the case now, because I have contact with a lot of young Hispanic men (workers, delivery guys and such), who call me "boss". I think it is now considered respectful. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought that they wore them for gynecologic purposes..... dirty pussies and such...

Look it up.
Look it up. Just say, "White men using the word boss towards a Black man" in goggle voice.
Very fascinating. I learned something new today.
- Historical/Racial Undertones: During the Jim Crow era and in the context of slavery, Black men were often compelled to address white men as "Boss," "Master," or "Sir". Some Black men of older generations find the term insulting because it evokes this history of racial subordination and the refusal of white people to use "sir" as a respectful title.
Most people are stupid and are not saying it to be derogatory.
Cartoon characters wore white gloves so they wouldn't bite their fingers by mistake when they ate Tootsie rolls
White men are towards Black men. We just don't have a clue as to how most whites pass down cultural practices of racialized ideals to their offspring. Simply for amusement, and to uphold a white supremacist ideal of intellectual supremacy. Its only when you as a Black person can outsmart them that you begin to see it in their responses.
Like once I re-understood what boss meant coming from them that in reply I would say "buddy. " The look on their face and lack of response told all. Try it.
