Reply #14: Did you ever see the Disney cartoons with Brer Rabbit, [View All]

[ET Awful]

Brer Fox, etc.? Those are originally from Song of the South.

The movie had no "black face" it had great cartoons that had nothing like blackface at all. The controversy arose from the live action portions of the movie which was a story about a rich white family and their troubled little boy who befriended an old black man who told him all kinds of old stories and fables about animals that could talk adn so forth. The complaints arose because the movie had the gall to show the old ex-slave and other freed slaves as being happy with their current position in life instead of hating the white people.

It was purely PC nonsense that resulted in it's being shelved.
