Reflecting changing notions of political correctness, many older cartoons rarely, if ever, now get television airplay, including the censored eleven, an infamous group of shorts focusing on black stereotypes. That's a shame, really. I think it is important and instructive to show how blacks (and other ethnic groups) were portrayed earlier in time. Helps show how far we have come. What are they going to do next? Ban Fat Albert?

The problem here is censorship. These networks have the right to air whatever they choose. At the same time wouldn't you say museums have the same right? Consider the art which they reject and the consequential heat they take for doing so. The Rats made the decision to take Speedy off the air, but when we don't show "terd art" they go ballistic.
