Where else would the term have come from?
and just how much research did you have to do to come up with this little gem? A five second Google search is all even the most clueless person would have to do. Now if you want to hear a funny story on the subject. I was waterskiing many years ago with some friends, one of whom happened to be black. When it was his turn to ski, as he was getting in the water he cracked "this better not just be a trick to get a brother to volunteer as gator bait. You fuckers better not be trolling for gators" lol For the record, he had nothing to worry about as this was at Lake Mead outside of Vegas, a LONG ways away from gator country. and yes, I know there is such a thing as a Chinese alligator, but everyone knows when you talk about Gators, you are talking about the US.Did some research this weekend and found out about this., Right here in the USA.

Given the fact you can only "bait" alligators where there are alligators. Which I'm pretty sure there are only alligators in the Gulf states.
... and all this is based on a soap advertisement?

Is this the reason black men make a big deal out of wearing a pair of gator shoes?
Yeah I have read about the fact that they used to used black babies as alligator bait...not something they teach in history for sure!! And also supremely f*cked up and racist. 
Would this information drastically change the outcome of anyone's life?
