No Brown v. Board (1954), no Civil Rights Act (1964), etc. Disney's Song of the South (never released on video in the US) was released in 1946, and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah won Best Song in 1947.
I'm asking that we realize that context is everything before we start clutching pearls and pointing fingers. Historical perspective is valuable. We do burn bridges when we need to remember not to go back down the road from whence we came.

Hence my comment about it being such a different time. And since it's so out of context today, it really, really stands out (of context).
