i think its because of the way these old cartoons bring it... for instance take "uncle toms bungalow", they let him 'win' (as far as paying off a slave seller is winning) but the whole cartoon has this ironic commentary aimed at the black characters... take that last comment when uncle tom comes with all the money - "uncle tom just cashed in on his social securty"
ok i laughed out loud cuz u dont expect such a remark in a kids cartoon, but these are cartoons made for kids and family guy isn't.
