Thanks for that.

Trader Sam, if I'm correct, had no mask in the good/bad/borderline racist old days.

I seem to recall he was kind of a Kelbo's like figure, a black-skinned native with a black top hat and tuxedo front and bow tie.
You know that cliche image, kind of a minstrel-show throwback, the civilized cannibal.

I'd always assumed that the racist Sam was still behind that mask if you were to lift it up.
