Man that Southern Song or whatever it is called is just soooo plain wrong

Bah.. People are looking into this way too much.. Again.. As always.
Like that other thread we had some time ago about anti religion or anti christian movies.. [I don't qute remember]

It's a fucking movie, and a fucking cartoon..
Made to entertain the family..
Watch and enjoy.. If you don't like it, then don't fucking watch it..
And let other people enjoy it.
It's as simple as that.

Now I know sometimes people can over examine stuff, but are you sure about this one?

YouTube - Is This Racist? Song of the South Clip

I see an old man singing and talking to a rabbit..
Thats It..
And thats all that I'll see no matter who is playing the role.
I don't over esitimate, over think or take "TV shows and movies" litereally.
And neither should anyone else.

...Does anyone remember when Song of the South came out? Or Dumbo? That type of thing was common then. You want to watch something REALLY racist? Watch this:Coonskin (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And the funny thing? While we've been able to stop showing black people in some of those racist type of moments, what about the Native Americans? Every last one of them on TV or cartoons are soon exactly like they were "back in the day".

If people would quit nitpicking every last thing, then maybe racism would finally die instead of even pulling apart Disney movies.

Oh, one last thing: The Crows from Dumbo were my favorite characters, they had the best song and ended up helping Dumbo.

Regardless of the context, we see in hindsight that it was rather racist. What you're saying is similar to saying that in the sixties it was acceptable, and therefore it's not stereotyping.
