These ghetto lottery lawyer settlements cost us a lot in prices and harm to businesses. These people are doing evil.

Remember the restaurant Sambo was owned by Samuel and Bo who started the chain and called it Sambo for Sam and Bo. NOT the stupid Little Golden Book about a half naked African child. Too bad-—outrage and lawyers soon followed them.

Was Sambo an African child? I thought he was an Indian (subcontinent) child.

Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman (London: Grant Richards, 1899) actually takes place in India. But never mind. It's still highly politically incorrect. I was lucky to be one of the last kids to have become familiar with the original story, before it was dumbed down and repackaged as "Little Brave Sambo" and later vanished from children's literature altogether.

The Sambo's in Los Angeles--I believe it was at around Vermont Avenue and Sixth Street--had some of the best customer service of any restaurant. If you ordered coffee, you would be unable to finish your cup before a waitress came bearing down on you to refill it.

Although the Sambo's chain disappeared in the 1980's, the original restaurant in Santa Barbara, Calif. is still in business.
