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"

Zippity Doo-Dah, Zippity-Aye.
Don't worry - I'm younger than DemonSeed, and I got it.

Mystic...not 'little known" but ....' a little movie known as 'Song of the South"...
I was trying to give it a little bit of dramatic effect.
LOL
On the other hand, a lot of people younger than 40 don't know about that movie since Disney hasn't re-released it on video and is one of the few films that hasn't.

Well it's still up for date based on the PC implications.
To some it's a peice of art entertainment history and to others, it's offensive.
I saw it when I was a child and remember my mom was kinda wierded out after seeing it. She has said that it was the first time seeing it as an adult and now I understand why.
