Talk:Mammy Two Shoes

message: No discussion eh? 
As a child watching these, I always got the impression that it was MTS herself that owned and lived in the house.
certainly didn't consider the cartoons racist, though then again, being a kid, I didn't consider or know about 
the concept at all ^^
Still think it's a shame they removed her, she was one of my favorite characters, her and Jerry's

message: This article lacks a world view. I'm British with little knowledge of American history (at school we studied American history on a Wednesday afternoon... just the one afternoon). In particular, the UK has never had apartheid, seperation nor rules preventing black people from being seen on film or TV. Can someone please edit the article to explain:
* Why did the industry think there was a need for Mammy's character to be censored for TV the 1960s?
* Why does the industry think that a white fat character is more acceptable than a black fat character in Tom and Jerry Tales (2006-)?

message: She was called `The Maid' in Britain whenever referred to. (The race argument about her in Britain merely mirrors that in The US). In the 1970's Tom And Jerry used to appear as a comic-strip in Look In magazine (a TV listings magazine for young people) and she was also called The Maid in that. She always appeared full length and with her face shown In that comic-strip (think Hattie McDaniel in Gone With The Wind).     — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talk • contribs) 16:30, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Should Petunia the house owner in Dan Gordon's Giggle comic book series "Superkatt" be included in the first paragraph? Petunia is in many ways like Mammy: Same appearance, same bad temper and same pronunciation. Just thought it needed looking into. Deltasim (talk) 17:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: *According to Walt Disney's Comic and Stories Edition #5 (Dell, 1941), Mammy is called Mamba in "The Pantry Pirate"

message: In the final three Bosko cartoons from MGM, Bosko is seen with Mammy Two Shoes ~ voiced by Linda Randolph. In these shorts, she is his mother, a fact even alluded to in the Christmas episode of Tom & Jerry tales, where "White Mammy" or Mrs. Two Shoes has a picture on the fireplace mantle with her son and a husband.
The three shorts are Lil' Ol' Bosko and the Cannibals, Bosko and the Pirates and Bosko in Baghdad. Someone needs to address this.
Also, Mammy is never mentioned as being a "Housemaid" in any of the Tom & Jerry shorts. Ever. Not even in the uncensored prints.
She has no master to answer to in those cartoons, and there is no media stating otherwise. That is her house, her cat, her dishes and in Saturday Evening Puss, her jewelry. 
Someone really needs to address this at once.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FF3TerraAndLocke (talk • contribs) 06:03, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

message: : [Clobber], whose face would turn bright red, and often derived great glee in doing so, was more graphically brutal in punishing Tom's mistakes as compared to Mammy Two Shoes ....
Taken literally, this sentence says that Clobber's face took glee in turning red.  Is that intended? —Tamfang (talk) 06:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

message: So... Why is this under the category of heroes? Seems like a bad place to put her.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grey Valley of Pigeons (talk • contribs) 08:20, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
