A reboot of the Disney show "The Proud Family" is receiving backlash over a rap in a recent episode of the cartoon featuring kids singing about slavery and reparations, arguing that America "owes" black Americans because America "still has not atoned for" its systemic prejudice, racism and White supremacy.
"This country was built on slavery, which means slaves built this country," the song repeatedly stated in the Disney+ episode of "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder," which reviewed the history of Juneteenth.

Proud family good, proud boys bad? It’s hard to keep up
They don’t give a rip.
I’m disgusted.
“still has not atoned for”.....
A country does not “atone” for the laws that were in force for generations long passed. They do however change or eliminate unjust laws to rectify inequities of opportunity.
That’s why I’ll stick with the older Disney content. The last great movies Disney created were “The Chronicles Of Narnia” films.
It actually would be more accurate to posit that America was built by horses.
A nation is built on mind, not muscle, power.
Exhibit A: Africa.
All this reminds me of the words to a song I heard some years ago:
They come for your property
They come for your guns
They come for the minds of your daughters and sons
Slaves built a lot of the "showcase" projects in Stalin's Soviet Union. Another inconvenient truth the Left will never tell you.
At this point I could not care less about the “demands” of disgruntled blacks.
Nothing will ever make it better or make them shut up so…
1. It is important to say America was built on the work of everybody, including the work of both free and slave labor.
2. Free labor was and is more productive than slave labor. Hence:
We outproduced the communists during the Cold War;
We outproduced the Nazis during WWII; and,
The northern states outproduced the southern states during the period from independence to the Civil War.
3. Welfare recipients, among other moochers and looters, aren’t productive at all. And, it would be expected of the lazy good-for-nothings that most welfare recipients are to demand reparations from the great, great, great, great grand children of those who died to free their ancestors. You can never do enough for those who will not do for themselves.
Yup divisiveness is their intent. Have you seen the insane amounts these reparation commissions are suggesting, from hundreds of thousands to over a million for each person. If they were to enact any such scheme, the racial resentment of whites (and others) against blacks would go thru the roof. But apparently that’s what they want for whatever nefarious reasons they have in mind.
👍
Racism against whites is so in vogue its considered civil rights rather than racism.
So we put a man on the moon in the 60s only because some people in the southern states had free farm labor in the 17 and 1800s
How on earth does 10% of a population claim responsibility for “building the country”? They were mainly involved in agriculture. They may have fed people but “built” very little.
I hear this claim often but fail to understand how anyone can concede the claim or give it credibility.
Right, slaves built this country. Far more than just their labor during slavery and after 1862 got this country to #1 by the early to mid-20th century.
Excellent concise and accurate statement. BTTT
reparations propaganda
from the woke disney activists
executive producer is biromantic asexual
whatever the hell that is
