Hahahahaha gently caress

I hadn't considered that because it's a known meme format, but I'd say "maybe unintentionally but not really"

I think if it was more general (like just jazz or rap) then closer to probably yes

Yeah that's just the version of that meme they used. I suppose it could be construed as racist, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intent.

I like all kinds of music but I like American Music best, baby.

Just not Big Band or Dubstep. Or new country. And 2000s raprock.

Doesn't need to be on purpose to be racist. That meme would've been totally intelligible for the wrong reasons to 50yo white people in 1950s American south.

Yeah the Tar Baby poo poo isn't cool by any stretch, but the framing story is what really sucks. It's all about a plantation princeling constantly whining to a slave about how badly he doesn't want to live on a plantation.

Yikes. I don't recall Br'er Rabbit but I do remember Dumbo and The Three Caballeros


And now we're facing a situation with Dumbo and the Jim Crows, coming soon.

Meanwhile Dan Brown is trying to say that Wally Gisnep was a supporter of the Mary Magdalene theory, just watch The Little Mermaid.

And Hitler hosed loved Gisnep until Donald Duck powned him.

I could write a paper about this.

Wally Gisnep was a playful person. There is a secret location in Disneyland that the less said the better. He didn't know how not to be racist and was a product of his time. Alas.

There's a poo poo ton about it already, animation history was a slog for this.

Except The Three Caballeros, that Jose and Panchito don't show up more is considered offensive, same for Speedy Gonzales getting in to Warner Bros territory.

So Disney is sort of a mixed bag.

Also Candyland, like Django Unchained?
