"Blacks in the film live in shacks while the white characters reside in a stately plantation home."


That isn't true, one rich white family and perhaps servants live in the mansion, while the other white family which is poor lives in a shack.

Why would this make it on the black market? Who'd illegally buy a movie that is so old?

Also not a fan of mixing cartoons and the real world.

I grew up reading Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.....loved them!Little Black Sambo....is also one of my childhood favorites.

I never considered Sambo racial....I didn't know what racial was...even growing up in the South.

We respected everyone....my parents taught me well.

Sambo, from my perspective, was a fun story about a tiger and pancakes!...

Remus was about being clever when folks are tyring to trick you.

The movie Glory..has quite a bit of colorful language the black soldiers say to each other....

..but it is one of the most stirring, emotionally wrenching movies and best I have seen in a long time.

In Amazing Grace...a cur & insolent Member of Paliament tries to sell his ('insert N word here'...but they say the word in the movie,)... and it shows clearly an example of the abuse, disrespect & incivility towards the slaves.

We are on a fast track to PC every bit of our heritage out of society.....all the colorful dialects, all the nuances.

Cultural sensitivity could be better described as negro paranoia.

Its cultural and cinematic significance have been the subject of scholarly debate for decades, and bootlegged copies of the film are popular on the black market and online.

A word of warning.
I ordered an official copy of this film from a web site, not knowing it was based in Canada, where this film is legally available.

After receiving not one, but two empty cases, I got the message and had the third order brought from Canada as the private property of a Canadian tourist.

This chapped my hide to the point where I know of a person who will offer free copies of this film to people in the U.S. who qualify.
Incidentally, this film is readily available also in Great Britain. Just not in the U.S.
