I enjoyed it when I was a kid.

They hate the “Tar Baby.” They don’t get it at all.
Because it shows the truth, and the left has a need to perpetuate the lie that all slaves were mistreated.
Imagine sometime in the far future when owning a dog is outlawed and deemed horrible. And then imagine a future version of the left trying to sell the lie that all past dog owners chained up and beat their dogs in the past. All information on the truth would have to be suppressed.
The movie shows ordinary people cheerful toward and respectful of each other instead of antagonistic due to race. Worst of all, the primary character who demonstrates such attitudes is a black Southern man.
I bought collections of Looney Tunes for my first grandchild fifteen years ago. They all came with disclaimers from that insufferable racist Whoopi Goldberg even back then. Mel Brooks said years ago that Blazing Saddles could not have been made under these conditions. Most of the humor in that movie is laughing AT the racists.
Go to internet archives and you can download it.
Not SOTS, but I like the crows in Dumbo. They were smart enough to get dumbo to fly
“Why does the woke left hate this movie so much?”
Because of the racial harmony portrayed in the film.
Balkanization will eventually give the me the race war, they want. A race war will lead to martial law. Martial law gives them complete power. Power gives them wealth.
Short answer: Power & Money. Money & power.
They are crazy.
I read some little piece on the movie. It was one of the first group of movies that gave a black man a leading role. His career thrived after that movie. Several other blacks made good money for acting, working in supporting roles etc.
I vaguely recall it and don’t remember any demeaning social messages, to the contrary it had many old fashioned wholesome messages, it showed the old south as it used to exist.
A few years ago, while driving through Georgia, we saw several signs encouraging a visit to the Joel Chandler Harris site known as the Uncle Remus Museum… very interesting site:

The Left needs to pick targets to polarize populations for the purpose of creating divisions and hate.
The Left is the exact opposite of St. Francis who said, “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy...” The commies sow hate, injury, doubt, despair, and darkness!!!!
Back in the day, The Atlanta Airport had a restaurant with a “Song of the South” theme featuring Uncle Remus:

Needless to say, the commies got all over that!
It bears mentioning that Hattie McDaniel was not able to attend the premier opening of GWTW in Atlanta because it was held at a “whites only” theater. Clark Gable a friend of McDaniel threatened to boycott the Atlanta premiere unless McDaniel was allowed to attend, but McDaniel convinced him to attend anyway.
And even as an Academy Award nominee, she could not sit at the same table as her GWTW co-stars at the Academy Awards but had to sit at a small table off to the side and near the back of the room. She was also not allowed to attend an after party with her co-stars held at a hotel because it was “whites only”.
McDaniel shortly before her death wished to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery but couldn’t because at the time of her death in 1952, it was still “whites only”.
I have an original LP of the movie. My parents bought it for me as a kid. I kind of liked it and really never thought about black and white. He was just a wise old guy.
Bans are a thing now a-days. Books all over the place, movies and anything else the wacky decides. This will pass.
Joel Chandler Harris is spinning in his grave.
Well, it has a couple of black stars that are off the liberal plantation. The liberals think that they need to be caught, returned to the plantation, whipped and required to tell their massa how glad they are to be back on his plantation. Oh, yes. And that they will never leave massa’s dear ol’ plantation again.
I still sing zippidy do da out in the garage like an outlaw
