Formerly black*

Previously? There's another word that fits better.

Formerly Chuck's

Casual racism wasn't as acceptable back then as casual homophobia still was

Chuck's Fuck and Suck, subsequently Sneed's

He wasn't a slave to Burns, yet. The more of a slave, the lighter he became. Until finally, slavery became unrequited love, and the straight black Smithers became the homosexual yellow/white Smithers.

Actual answers? Animation error. Although they probably only corrected it because of the implications.

No the judge also alternated multiple times. They're just not particularly consistant with minor characters.

The actual canon answer is that Smithers was covered in fecal matter in those early episodes

I still think that the lack of good Simpsons episodes for almost 20 years has thrown us into a post-modernist hivemind.
It's scary to me.

I still think that there has to be at least one good episode per season in the new Simpsons, although I do not have the patience to sit and watch trough all of it

I don't suggest you even try to entertain that thought, user.

Him being black was just a coloring error.

smithers was just wearing blackface those first few years because it was the 80s and it was still acceptable then. then the 90s came and the PC police made him wash it off, damn SJWs ruined everything even back then!!!

sjws try to make sneakers o'toole take off his sneakers. they should go take a long jump off a short gorg

why are the simpsons characters almost all chinese yet it takes place in america with american voice actors?

Becauuse they decided later to turn him gay

Smithers (formerly black)

Because wypipo hates a successful black man so they changed him yello(Wh*te)
