    Song of the South isn’t racist you crud. It’s merely a product of its time. It depicted life on how it was. The civil war happened. Slavery happened. Get over it. People still like that movie because it’s raw, and not censored for the sensitive leftwing.

      When I say ‘product of its time’ I meant when times were better. People were stronger in the mind.

        And minorities knew their place, right?

      I never saw that it was racist. Never saw what all the hub-bub was about, or what people wanted to see in it.

    Of course Disney wants you to forget this movie but Walt wouldn’t. You cannot pretend main events in history did not exist. If not for slavery in the first place all these blacks that Disney worship probably wouldn’t be over here. I’m sure the leftists would love to forget George Washington founded our country to. They’d probably like to forget Christopher Columbus as well. Leftists would happily rewrite all of history just to suit them, so that reality won’t hurt their wittle feelings.

      There was no slavery in that film.

    Reed is just trying to make a buck, that is all, he doesn’t care one way or the other about the true story.

      Was not racist. The whole menacing issue was about driving a wedge and creating division. How crazy that was and out of hand. I’m talking about the summer of love 2020. I think we know what and who drove that madness.

    All one has to do is watch the movie to see it’s not racist. I own a copy. Why pick an ax to grind with an 80 year old film?

    A beautiful film that has nothing wrong with it. Those who have seen it in its entirety would know. It will get a Blu Ray release and a theatrical re-release in the not too distant future. All studios will soon be mandated to have their entire libraries available for commercial viewing and on physical media. Disney fans will celebrate its release. I mean what will happen? The national media will cry foul? There will be a PR disaster and boycotts of Disney products?
