That cartoon reminds me of the conversation I overheard between my grandmother and mom back in the early 70’s. Grandma would have been about 90.
“Oh - that nice n****ger girl across the street brought over a homemade pie and I made coffee. We had such a wonderful time.”
The “girl” was probably in her 50’s! And was a wonderful neighbor to my grandma. I was a young teen and not about to correct her on her terminology - which she obviously didn’t mean as derogatory.
