The phrase "Cake Walk” is ubiquitous in American English. Cake Walks were originally done as entertainment for slave-owning whites. Slaves would be dressed in their master’s finery and made to parade around as if they were members of high white society. The slaves who did the best impression of their masters, won the cake.
It was entertainment and a contest performed under duress and aided only in further humiliating people in bondage.
Little Debbie is much more than a mascot; she was actually based on a very real person. And not only is she real, but she is also still an active part of the company to this day.

Ruby Bridges (~1960)—the first Black student allowed into the white-only school system in the South—courageously spends time in the schoolyard with her peers. Ruby’s entire class refused to attend class when she first arrived at school, but it seems that things got somewhat better with time.
They wore them in the 60's too. Nothing is new in fashion. It just recirculates and gets small modifications.RAW
