I enjoyed Disney’s “Song of the South” as a kid. Sadly my kids will never see that movie. And it was a fun, good movie.

This will have an immediate positive effect on ghetto black on black homicides, restore the nuclear family as well as making ‘upward striving’ the theme of the hour instead of ‘thug life’.
Certainly, the same magic will happen in the ghetto slums of Richmond when Monument Avenue becomes Empty Avenue.

Its not about black lives matter.
Its all about white guilt.

Hear hear Whoopi Goldberg should be fired from the View for her support of black face.
Not not the Black Face and cultural appropriation Nancy Pelosi did yesterday...

DVDS can go out of print.
Burke’s Law is temporarily out of stock.

Then I am glad I spent money on them when I did. I need my Charlie Chan fix every so often!

At times, I’ve wondered about the local PBS station dusting off the tapes of Till Death Us Do Part as an alternative to the trash they keep on showing (particularly the fundraisers). I guess we can forget that title as well during these particular times, lol.

Is Cheer getting cancelled since Ted Danson appeared in blackface?
To: Olog-hai
Cant believe Little Britain wasnt under siege much earlier the least convincing transvestite and only gay in the village characters were hilarious but no more offensive than the other British stereotypes the show was made up of.

Was trying to find a Harry Enfeld sketch where a white trash English couple is on the outs because the woman wants a brown baby like all the other white mums that live in her public housing area. It’s been long scrubbed from the internet. Hit to close to reality, I guess.

I loved the Harry Enfield skits with the Polish shop.
He nailed the Poles perfectly.

Well, the same goes for the Marx Brothers, Robert Downey, Jr., and John Wayne (”The Spoilers”).
