I heard that about the shareholders meetings. If Gone With The Wind can be sold on DVD, why not Song of the South? Maybe they could just put a stupid blurb on the package, “This movie was made in year 19-whatever, times have changed, we don’t mean to offend anybody,” blah, blah, blah. Why can’t people just get over the fact that things were different in the past? Use it as a learning opportunity with their kids.

I hate PC.

I remember shortly after I graduated high school there was a huge uproar about Huckleberry Finn and its frequent use of the N-word. At the time it was written, even educated high-class southerners used the word and thought nothing of it.

Funny how libtards always say we are taking them out of context when they say something that offends us, but never note the context of anything that offends them...

Disney almost released it as one of the Walt Disney Treasures series. They even had the packaging set-up.
