Whoopi Goldberg Wants Disney to Bring Back 'Song of the South'

Whoopi Goldberg Wants Disney to Bring Back 'Song of the South' to Start Conversation About Controversial 1946 Film

So, after becoming the super special Disney Legend at the D23 Expo, Whoopi Goldberg was asked one simple question - "What's your favorite Disney movie?"

OH NO NO NO! She wanted to talk about RACISM from the 1946 movie Song of the South. Now, notice... she didn't want to talk about how Walt Disney was a Nazi and the horrible acts against the Jews. No no, she wanted to talk about ONE MOVIE from 1946 that's racist against black people. She also brought up the "jive-talking birds from Dumbo."

Let this be a clear indication of how America is divided. It's simple. She was asked a question about her favorite movie, and using her platform, she decided to talk about RACISM.

That's why we're divided. The Left just cannot let it go. They use it as a tool to continue to push their narrative and then they blame anybody who is NOT Retardedly Far Left for the divide we have today. They don't just blame Trump for the division. They don't just blame Republicans. They blame everybody who doesn't agree with them 100%.

That's why we have Trump, and no I'm not tired of winning! I'll be tired of winning when the Democrats get their shit straight and stop relying on calling people bigots. I'll be tired of winning when Democrats realize their party is 100% fucked.

So, the question really is... ARE YOU TIRED OF LOSING YET?

Whoopi Goldberg was named the “surprise” Disney Legend Friday at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, and she had some surprising things to say about the most infamous film in the studio’s history.

Asked by Yahoo Movies what her favorite Disney movie is, the View host and EGOT winner deferred picking favorites and instead brought up Song of the South, the 1946 Walt Disney-produced live-action/animated film that has remained unreleased for decades due to its racially insensitive portrayal of African Americans in the Reconstruction Era.

“I’m trying to find a way to get people to start having conservations about bringing Song of the South back,” she said of the film, which Disney has kept locked in its vault, refusing to issue either digitally or on disc. “So we can talk about what it was and where it came from and why it came out.”

Goldberg also pointed to the controversial crows in the 1941 animated classic Dumbo, “jive-talking” birds voiced by white men, one of which was named Jim Crow after the racial segregation laws.

“I want people to start putting crows in the merchandise, because those crows sing the song in Dumbo everybody remembers,” she said, referencing the tune “When I See an Elephant Fly.”

“I want to highlight all the little stuff people maybe miss in movies.”

That's what that racist woman is all about.
Damn I miss the days when I just thought of her as a spunky actress and not some loony witch

You all certainly go out of your way to find something to be angry about and as an outlet for your consuming hate, don't you?

Nah, it was on Yahoo!News.

 

[sr71plt]

YOU brought it here. I'm glad you're monitoring Whoopie Goldberg and can be revved up by her. I don't/am not.

Someone brought up ONE MOVIE, or was it two?

Liberals dividing the country, as usual. So basically nothing out of the ordinary.

Leftists are all idiots.

I don't think you have to be on the "far left" to believe that the crows in Dumbo or the bulk of Song of the South are at the very least racially problematic (and I'm actually old enough to have seen Song of the South in a theater).

But I'm also not one of those people -- and they're awfully vocal these days -- who get a million times angrier about accusations of racism than they ever get about racism itself.

 

[Hypoxia]

If you've gotta be racist, pick an extinct race that won't bite back or otherwise be offended.

"Would you want a Carthaginian / Tasmanian / Neanderthal to marry your sister?"

Hating extant races will only cause trouble. Chill.

You're an idiot who missed the point entirely. We all know that shit is racist. If you seriously cannot grasp the concept of the thread, you're the problem.

Well, you failed to elucidate the source of your frustrations. You just assumed we cared as much about this sort of thing as you did, to some of us, this isn't really worth caring about or re-mentioning, it's a non story for first worlders to pretend its an insult to their way of life..or something . I don't even know why this bothers you THAT much. Whoopi's crap doesn't make my toilet stink and I doubt it makes yours any better(worse?). Then again, I'm not subscribed to a celebrity race baiting feeder.

It's not about that gamer disliking black people so much as sticking it to the liberals.

It's the same behavior regarding Trump that rightists possess--supporting Trump means sticking it to those uppity liberals who they hate and blame for the downfall of society and their place (Rightwing White Christian Straight Males and their sadistic, self-hating female sympathizers) no longer being central to the universe.

It's all psychological. All that sticking it to the liberals eventually backfires and it's THEM that will get hurt by supporting politicians who give no shit about them in their mission of attacking liberals. No wonder the US is in last place regarding healthcare among developed nations. Sad.

They really think black folk give a damn. Black folk are pretty resilient and have seen everything.
