We must fight the forces of evil by outing all sorts of un-PC-like behavior as manifested by such vile entities as the Republicans,the US Government, the Bush Administration, and now the internet itself.
This reminds me. I have to find a collection of Warner Bros. originals on Ebay before the PC Police get to them also.
Can’t find a copy of Disney’s Song of the South anywhere either.
So, we should worry about the forces of evil preventing you from watching racist cartoons? I’m thinking I may have better things to do today.
Still one of my favorite Warner Brothers cartoon moments...
“...I forget to tell you. Slowpoke Rodriguez...he pack a gun.”
“Now he tells me!”

I have a bootleg of these cartoons. “Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarves” is a brilliant piece of work. Warner animators went into jazz clubs and studied the jive dancers, reproducing them beautifully. A shame that most people will ever see their work.
Coal Black is an interesting cartoon, simply for the people who did the voices. Coal Black is Vivien Dandridge, sister of Dorothy Dandridge. Mammy is Ruby Dandridge, Dorothy’s mother.
I’m thinking that the cartoon came out after World War 2 because in one part, a hitman was advertising his price range for killing people. At the bottom range, the flyer said, “Japs Free!” When you consider the time frame and feelings about Pearl Harbor, it’s pretty darn funny.
Times change, and so do opinions. There are cartoons I grew up watching that I would never let my own children watch today.
They also had these posted at mostoffensivevideo.com - some of them were a riot to watch considering the time in which they were produced. Some of the WWII cartoons were particularly funny (see “Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips”). We need more cartoons like these today, particularly with the WOT. These cartoons, particularly the WWII ones, boosted morale in this country which, in turn, helped to rally the populace to our cause.

I remember going to the movies to see this as a child. It was a gentle kind of movie for kids. Not much like what one sees today. Its a different world though now.
It will probably be gone before tomorrow now that the NYT has printed how to find it.
How friggin’ long to copyrights last? They haven’t been broadcast for 40 years.
