If I recall correctly, Uncle Remus was a positive character, who told stories to the children, and the children loved his stories. Uncle Remus was not any sort of stereotypical negative character. But in the politically correct world we live in, the powers that be simply ban a fine old movie.

Similar to the way the left had to get rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben because they reflected a positive image of black people from a bygone era.

So what were they replaced with? Entertainers like Lizzo and Snoop Dogg artists, who give an updated version of blacks as vulgar, profane, and crude - twerking and reducing themselves to the lowest common denominator of lewdness. That's progress, leftist style.

Well maybe they will replace it with something from today’s black culture. Basically rappers with thick gold chains and pants around their ankles rapping about bitches and “hoes” and shooting people while looting department stores.

You are correct. Joel Chandler Harris is spinning in his grave

Everybody loved Uncle Remus. It was a great movie. Better than most of the %^^& coming out of Hollyweird nowadays.

The ironic thing is Uncle Remus tales, br’r rabbit, are based on authentic African tales handed down from slaves from their homeland.

Can’t have real history taught but you can have “Woman King” that fought to end slavery(fake)

Uncle Remus was the classic ‘wise elder’ who educated young people with Aesop like fables using animal figures as symbols of both good and evil characters. The fables emphasized how good people could defeat evil persons by using their wit to defeat brutal strength. Some of these tales have obvious West African origins such as the rabbit and the brier patch. Uncle Remus is a very flattering picture of how the truths of folk wisdom helped character development and how even the most powerless (slaves) can assert their humanity in the face of brute strength. These sorts of teaching aids ought be part of early childhood education, not stigmitized and villified.
