Remember those crows from Dumbo? They had the southern, uneducated, farming, black accents.

My understanding was that the movie painted an unrealistic portrait of life as a newly freed man.

I started thinking about this stuff today, about how the South has a bad reputation. The majority of people in the South did not own slaves. If the entire South is to be despised for anything, it's for the years, the decades after Reconstruction.

Quote :

"Stereotypes exist within Song of the South, without question. And that is the true key to why certain individuals object to the film. Something that is never discussed, however, is the presence of stereotypes in the film other than those in relation to the African-Americans. Look at every main character in the film, in fact, and you can find at least one stereotype—in their clothing, in their actions, in their words. You can even take it a step further and look at the scenery. The entire Southern plantation is a stereotype. The plain fact is, most innocent stereotypes are based upon the common denominator of reality. These stereotypes are the easiest to convey because they are a generalization to which many people are familiar with. Cartoon characters are stereotypes. I must stress that Disney used only innocent stereotypes—that is, stereotypes that do not make fun of characteristics of people or things. Some will always argue, however, that the stereotypes conveyed in Song of the South are not all innocent. This point will never be settled because of the heinous act of slavery African-Americans were forced to endure for so long, and although this movie is about as innocent as it can get, especially for the time period it was produced in, that is why this film teeters uncomfortably on the edge of acceptance and unacceptance."

so basically it's not racist... it's just a bunch of whiney bitches that want to start trouble that say it is.

^Yes, it is just like 90% of all the claims of racism these days.
