Walt Disney's Song Of The South... Part 7

[@OfficialAshArcher]

Keeping this film locked up is more problematic than having it out there. Rather than pretending things didn’t happen and caving into censorship, we should acknowledge the past, analyse how and why it’s wrong by today’s standards and use it as a lesson to improve

[@DreMurf313]

[@samwhaleIV]

Which is extremely ironic because this movie did the same thing in censoring the past.

Im with what u say and I'm black

[@jeannieweathers8807]

I agree! I am white and was raised in the south. I still have my Uncle Remus storybook from when I was a child. I think it helped me appreciate the culture more. I’ve been out protesting for Black Lives Matter and I think censoring this type of thing is a mistake.

[@TheRozberry]

I'm an African American woman originally from Alabama and I totally agree with acknowledging the past in order to correct present and future behavior. I remember in 1970 where I lived in Northwest Alabama (Sheffield Alabama to be exact) and my parents had transferred and enrolled me in a newly integrated predominately white elementary school for my upcoming fourth grade school year. I was the only black girl in that classroom and there were three other black boys and one of our teachers' (Mrs. Bell) literature segments was going to be the book "Uncle Remus". What I most remember and applaud her for was she took all four of us in the hallway and told us before she would read it, she wanted us to go home and get permission from our parents for her to read it to the class. Now what conscientious white teacher in 1970 would be that thoughtful and respectful enough to black parents to ask permission to do that? Needless to say all of our parents gave permission for it to be read. The strange part was I didn't even know (at that time) who Uncle Remus was until it was read to me but I will never forget it.

[@johnr9528]

I agree. Making a movie - any movie - about some snapshot in time is like a picture from my past...it is a moment in time. How will I or anyone else remember if it all gets destroyed, especially as time marches on.

Denis Shillingford Why are you being so fuckin aggressive for literally no reason? Clark and Hattie were great friends before they even made gone with the wind. He was incredibly angry at the fact that the oscars wasnt allowing the black actors to attend, even though Hattie won one, and Hattie ended up having to talk him into going instead of boycotting the entire event. Youd know that if you took like 15 seconds out of your day to learn facts instead of snapping at strangers for just complimenting two actors and making a joke.

Well, that white lady was Johnnie’s mother, and when anyone’s mother asks you to not do something with their child and then you do it anyway, what do you expect the reaction to be? It doesn’t matter what race you are or what century it is- the nicest response will be the same- the Mother is naturally going to ask you to stay away from their child.

Because the boule want to push the AGENDA now with white/pink/beige women with black brown and golden tone men together, using trends to market the fashion of this kind of LOOK if you like. and that it is acceptable now when He or She says it is.! (Pfffffffffffff) And then sacrifice a black women, sister, his mother aunt ect...SUN DOWN spilling his colour in the sky as he falls to the west. A black women raises him (SUN/SON) then a white women just takes! like aunt sally! Has her sons shoot him down, incarcerate him in prison, separates him from his black sisters, tries to erase his double end helix hair and 0s, manipulates in ways to keep it short, hide it, hats hoods ect...makes him feel ashamed then say NOoooooo! Mmm. Then says a black women does not deserve her own son or father. that A white women can flirt with our father and separate him so that he can not raise his children, but a black women is bad and every name if she dates a white guy... MMmm! List goes on for centuries. Then a white women tells the entire would that Black women have a bad attitude! If some of them do....I really really wonder why at this point haven written the above and a lot still goes on.... The accusations, lies on us! Pfffffffffff! Huh what did you say? wow! nah.......💀How does any one think a white women deserves anything after every one knows she had sons and sent him to kill and sent him to separate. you got to remember women have sons not the fathers! the carrying starts with her! We helped her but in return she killed a lot of us...meaning raised sons that would do such things in a grown state then praise him 9/10 She sits quite most times while this goes on....year after year, things are to benefit her and no other women. But then her soils are not even rich with good food materials including raw materials...earth is like the womb in a different state... Black women will love a man poor or rich even though her soil is rich in all aspects...she loves her sons, upset with her sons because of her not him...,she keeps designing sons that want to divide ect... so that she can have what ever she wants while stopping others...I remember the photos of white women being front row seats watching a black man burn to death, sitting around the fire watching him burn! (front row seats) stand like it was a piece of wood burning. Then she acts scared over some random guy snatching her GUCCI purse or what have you...none are good, however she likes to star in a lot of horror movies and scare herself then act scared in reality! What is this behaviour??? WAIT... then doesn't mind starring in a movie with children being tortured in horror movies over and over again????????????? UMMM! It is beyond just a movie, you have to rehearse that over and over and over again THAT IS INSANE! but then...oh "Black women have an attitude!" WHAT? these women sat around fires with burning black men alive, stood there and watch from all ages little girls mothers teenagers...what is really going on?...then they show demonstrations of movies like GET OUT in the 2000s and then BIRD CAGE, that our sons are to sacrifice himself for a WHITE WOMEN AND HER DAUGHTER but not a black women! and you really believe that the whole world is not going to clock on what's REALLY going on here. She calls our son a beast (Beauty and the beast) Our son is beauty she is the belly of the beast. Produces a lot of unnatural things in bulk ! allows too much to happen and take place! Born out of that kind of womb...nahhh (revelations!!!) she can be 1.... like how she likes her hair, I'll me 0, because I understand sacred geometry and the natural order of things! I'll be ZERO 0 like double end helix repeated I will be 0 like the sun thank you. 🖤

I am really appreciating all of you here in the comments who recognize the importance of this film as an educational resource. Preserving films like this, in addition to all other objects representative of racism in this country’s history, is essential to making sure these attitudes don’t re-emerge. If you have a career or hobby in which you find yourself stumbling upon racist artifacts of culture significance- whether it be a film roll of a minstrel show, an advertisement for skin-lightening cream, a piece of KKK memorabilia, or a mammy doll found in an antique shop- please contact the Jim Crow museum to see if they have any interest in displaying it as an artifact of cultural significance. The Jim Crow museum is doing great and important work, preserving racist items from American history to remind us of where we once were as a country and why we must not let ourselves move backwards.

I watched this as a child with my nan and grandad. Singing to the songs, listening to uncle remus tell about brer rabbit. I never once thought it racist.

[@mjremy2605]

This film has so many levels of social inequity, but also has historical richness. It is a classic and should not be banned. In fact, we can learn a lot from it. 1. Unequal treatment of Black folks who had no citizenship. 2. Socio economic disparity between White classes - privileged White Class and Lower White Class. Look how sad for rich kids to attend a party while the poor kids look on. This happens today in America, India, and so many countries. 3. Storytellers are revered in Africa. Remus was one such storyteller keeping that tradition alive. A natural. These folks are historical figures. 4. Using animals to illustrate human foibles much like Aesop's tale. It was also a way for an underclass to talk about morality to an upper class. You see this in Babur's tales to Akbar the Moghul emperor of India. One could not tell the king he was wrong but one could illustrate it in a story. The king got it. 5. The power struggle between powerful animals like Brer Fox and Brer Bear vs Brer Rabbit using his wit and savvy to escape them each time, was a parallel with humans and their social classes. 6. You had the stereotypes of Mammy and Uncle Remus, the White Missus, the White Trash, all in there. But if you did not, how would a child from this era understand the personas of the Deep South Plantations and their struggles to gain equality? What if this film did not exist? 7. Our current use of informal words such as Bro or Bruh to mean Brother, are exactly the same as Brer which was a short form of Brother. Same word thru the centuries. Now it is mainstream. It is wrong to ban this film. It is historically and artistically a good film. One should learn from it and keep it in context. Just like the Jewish never let us forget the horrors of the Holocaust, we should never forget the horrors of slavery and its overtones that still exist today. May this film bring us together, not divide us.

[@yolandamoore7011]

I guess you would.

[@gabrielledennis549]

@Regina Bryant I'm not sure of how true that is. But would you, your mom, sister, or whoever like to be visually portrayed in the way that black people are here? I doubt it. Basic history shows that black people were still treated horribly right after slavery. If you didn't know that, I'd be eager to enlighten you further.

When Joe and Jake told their mother about the puppy, she gave them spankings. But their father will probably give them the worst spankings when he gets home.

A heartwarming story between a little white lad needing guidance and a lovable wise old black man can only be good for race relations, surely? Will they be banning The Karate Kid next?

[@billsfman]

This movie is racist since it portrays the happy blacks being servants to their benevolent white masters. It gives a picture of the south, during Reconstruction or soon after just being a happy place where the blacks knew their place and were content with it, being treated like children by their benevolent masters. This came out in 1946, when the Jim Crow south and segregation was considered a way of life and was loved by whites since it portrayed a fantasy of how happy and decent the southern way of life was in the south during slavery.

[@007beck9]

FFS its a film it's not real life get over it this film was never made for a racism it was made for a family film for children and adults and people making sli comments saying it's racist film what's sad lifes you must lead and you wonder why this generation is what it's like today horrible comments about a lovely film like this.

[@belle20575]

Stan Smith most slaves had no idea what to do after slavery was abolished because they had no education, some no family. most former slaves didn’t stay because they wanted to, they stayed because vagrancy was illegal. sharecropping was used to keep black people and their families in debt. the rich white land owners would raise prices on what you “owed” to live there and so they would be put into a never ending cycle of debt. they were NOT happy and i can promise you that.

[@kingpayan8925]

Stan Smith u ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?...i think these type of films were wrong. I don’t mind historical films showcasing the horrible conditions slaves were in. This whole film is based off false reality. It wasn’t really like this. Read a history book.

[@theveganpear1946]

@Stan Smith when you strip everything from someone and they have no wealth or education. Of course you wouldn't go anywhere because your ancestors made sure they wouldn't have options.

[@silverpslm]

7:10 I think this sums up why I don't think the movie is as racist as people say. It is clear Uncle Remus is trying to hold back another issue. And with it showcasing the cruelty to a "dog" and how he does what he's told. It gives a hint to why he tells these stories. However, it is too tame. When the boy says that Uncle Remus doesn't care, it should have triggered a more serious moment. I think Uncle Remus should have pushed a little more on the subject matter. "No matter how good you are, or how hard you try, people will be cruel, hurt you, and take away what you think is yours." Which I think sums up why he made up these stories, to protect him from the cruelty of the world, and remind him of the things that matter most. But like I said, it doesn't address it well enough, which is why it is seen by some as racist.
