Disney has been slammed for going woke yet again after a new cartoon series features black children rapping about reparations – saying 'slaves built this country'.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder has sparked outrage by showing the characters discovering that their town was built by slaves and then giving a presentation to their school.
As part of the rap, which as been branded 'blatant anti-white propaganda', a white character is seen standing on a stage with a poster that says 'still not atoned'.

CANCELLED
Song of the South - Disney 1946
Since its initial release the film has attracted controversy, with critics characterizing its portrayal of African Americans and plantation life as racist. As a result of the film’s controversial legacy, Disney has not released Song of the South on any home video format in the United States, and the film has never been available on its streaming platform Disney+.
And now they just cancelled Splash Mountain.
Communist/Lost Cause crap.
And BLM burned it back down. So I guess the cycle is complete now.
They couldn’t even build a two story building.
So I guess this is Disney getting back at government and regular non-socialist Americans.
Jokes on them, they cant afford to go to their overpriced parks anymore anyway.
Slavery was never legal in most of our territory and even in places where it was "legal" at one time it was never widely practiced and was outlawed soon after the nation was founded in those areas. So that cannot be factually true.
The economies of the states without slavery were strong and grew faster than those with it. This includes the products that were the primary staples of the Southern economy. Why? Because slavery retarded innovation in how to produce crop yields, and also was not free market activity - slaves did not earn wages to contribute to the economic cycle. So that cannot be factually true further still.
Hey I think the whole spiel by Disney is nonsense. But Black people (free or slave) did a lot more than picked cotton.
Correct. Playing politics to avoid further divisions of the Union was a necessity to be successful.
Unfortunately the same small minds exist on the other side of the debate as well and they make similar arguments with nearly identical revisionist history about Lincoln.
:) Lord, I almost spit me beer.
“By 1850, of the 3.2 million slaves in the country’s fifteen slave states, 1.8 million were producing cotton; by 1860, slave labor was producing over two billion pounds of cotton per year.”

Slaves might have produced over $100 billion of cotton in modern money terms.
All the value was not slave produced. The land had to get snatched from Indians by armed white guys and tools bought. The cotton had to be sent to New Orleans by steamboat. Factors had to get their cut.
Much of the cotton wealth was destroyed by the efforts to free the slaves from 1861 to 1865 - Gone with the Wind.
Savannah and Charleston were largely built by slaves, but they had become mainly slums by the 1930s.
In Savannah houses were in the times I visited bought by almost by the block and gut renovated.
You know, there were talks as to what would become of the former slaves. Repatriation was an option. There were others.
Well, they’re right about Lincoln. I’ll give em that much.
The Federalist Papers dealt extensively with the possibility of war between the states, and the evils that would ensue because of it, and Lincoln was very much aware of the founders’ thinking. But nitwits who can’t read contemporary English, let alone late 18th Century, have no foundation from which to understand history, so they let liars and a@@-holes do their thinking for them.
There is of course a flip side, Detroit was mainly built by whites, who were driven out by federally-induced block-busting and often sold at basically ‘fire sale’ prices.
One astute black barber snatched up about ten New York Avenue, DC townhouses at about $10,000 each.
Disney is a direct threat to the whatever remaining harmony exists.
Walt Disney became fabulously rich on the backs of rodents! Are they going to require reparations?
I heard this played, the whole thing, on radio this morning.
Made me so angry.
I am sick of the libel and slander of my country, of all our great people, and of us whites.
How is this not treason?
I have ALWAYS identified these malcontent miscreants to be traitors. Then they have the nerve to pin it on conservatives for Jan 6.
Welp. They are right about Lincoln.
