Song of the South is hiding somewhere with Little Black Sambo. Wont surprise me if they don't remove the Our Gang movies because of Buckwheat and that other little round faced Black kid that was so wonderful. And how about Step and Fetchit and Rochester of the old Jack Benny show. Al Jolson would not make it in todays world because no more black face routines either. I guess Black really never existed in the history of America, thus no reparation???

The asinine thing about this is that Song of the South is more demeaning to white people than to black people. The kid’s parents are self-absorbed twits (Old South Boomers?), while the old black man shows common sense and genuinely cares about the kids.

One of my fondest memories growing up was the “minstrel show” we did in the 6th grade in full “black face”. No malice was intended nor was anyone demeaned, I remember we all had a really good time rehearsing then putting on the show for our parents. That would have been in about 1956-57 or so. Too bad, those days are long gone now.
