Some of the cartoon images that immediately come to my mind are:
The Africa baby with the bone sticking out of her hair.
The blackface depictions, particularly when "is you is or is you ain't my baby" was sung.
The faceless mammy in Tom and Jerry.
Not to mention Speedy Gonzalez. Was that looney toons or warner bros. Oh well.
These things were an overtly racist sign of their overtly racist times.

You hit it right on the head....I actually had a video tape of some of the WWII propoganda toons...sadly I lost in when I moved back in the 90s
And now I hear that for the last 2 years Disney has been wrapped up in a controversy about a DVD release of a little movie known as 'Song of the South"
