I think a very important contribution of Mr Roach is the very early inclusion of black characters. One might argue that Buckwheat was a stereotype but what is better, a stereotype who plays with white kids or what happened for the next two generations, namely that no TV shows had any black kids at all? If other producers had carried on what Mr Roach started in the 1930s, social changes might have started much sooner, such is the power of media.--Jrm2007 (talk) 13:43, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
