Blacks in the 1940s
That's about it
Because libtards goona libtard
It would be like a greek person being offended at a Aesop movie where the guy telling the story is wearing a toga
Well y'see there's a black guy and uhhh
It's offensive because white and jewish people say it is.
Because snooty white people don't like Southern dialect.
Why were black people so shiny in the old movie?
not anti-white enough
Because a bunch of people who haven't seen the movie insist that it's about slavery being cast in a positive light, when the movie doesn't feature slaves and instead is about black people trying to teach white people their cultural heritage, and was based off of a book written with the express intent of bridging racial divides. People may then focus on how they seemed to be happy still living in poverty, when they were actually happy that a young white boy who had no prejudices against them was willing to listen and learn their stories. People will ignore this post and continue to argue from a point of ignorance.

It sort've romanticizes the antebellum south to an extent, and whitewashes the horrors of slavery to an uncomfortable degree. Despite it not being intentional or malicious on the part of Walt or anyone involved.
If they don't suppress it they'd have to admit to black actors and culture were shown by "evil racist old white men" of their own accord and that blacks don't need to submit to communists to particulate in society.
It actually did have controversy when it did get released in theaters originally, Disney assumed that would have happened
because they didn't know/care how to do makeup for dark skin. White actors would get a powder foundation to reduce the glare of studio lights, but it was only the right pigment for white people.
The friendly black man isn't encouraging impressionable young black kids to be violent idiots that distrust everyone.
Because the thought of a happy negro makes people seethe.
If you don't show blacks pre-1960s in a perpetual state of terror and suffering they consider it against the victim narrative.
>I gotta read an article to know how I should feel about this
I've never actually watched it, but I might consider it one day for the animation parts. It's one of the few things by old Disney that I haven't seen. In animation history there used to be quite a lot of racial stereotypes (including WW2 pieces), so it does shock/bother me very much.
THREADLY REMINDER
Disney didn't approve Splash Mountain being replaced, they simply were looking at it and their woke social media personal announced it without higher up approval and cost them hundreds of millions because of it
And Tokyo told Disney to fuck off with replacing it
All this post tells us is that you haven't seen the movie and probably don't care about this subject other than looking to be in the perceived right using others efforts.
>i know everything i need to know from my gut
/thread
Because the demoralization runs deep.
Virtuous Faggotry
>I gotta read posts to know how I should feel about this
Writing posts that restate what others have already wrote is cuck behavior.
>not just watching the movie
>Writing posts that restate what others have already wrote
Not having your own views and relying on others for your own thoughts is bigger cuck behavior
The postbellum setting isn't stated or apparent in the film, or it wasn't originally.
Anything can be controversial, all it takes is for 1 random nobody to say it's controversial and all the outragefags swarm like flies
What a very controversial post
You do realize everybody interprets art in different ways, right? Maybe listen to people outside of the same racist mouth-breathers you identify with for once so you can try understanding others' perspectives before dismissing them entirely. Grow up.

You sure this post wasn't meant for someone else?
My entire point across 2 posts was saying relying on Googled results was dumb and you should try using your own words based what on what you saw.
>Why is this movie controversial?
anything that doesn't literally suck black dick is now controversial
>and whitewashes the horrors of slavery to an uncomfortable degree.
A retarded bluepill statement. Do you think slaves in America went around screaming in horror all day or something? It's not even about slavery either, so you just bug out at seeing black people from a time before the past few decades.
samefag
OP asked a question. I gave him an answer. Simple as. You look retarded trying to accuse people of plagiarism on an Anonymous site.
>romanticizes the antebellum south
It takes place during the Reconstruction era, not the Antebellum era
>and whitewashes the horrors of slavery to an uncomfortable degree
There are no slaves in the movie and the focus of the movie was about old black folk tales
You didn't give an answer you gave googled link with zero thought and then patted yourself on the back because you did it in "2 second" you disingenuous cunt. It's not about plagiarism it's about you being a faggot.
Due to Hollywood Union Bylaw 15 Paragraph 12 Section 91 Subsection 3, James Baskett's N-Word was inadvertently extended to EVERY animated character in the movie. This was discovered in 1962 when Br'er Bear used the N-Word when discussing MLK on the first season of The Tonight Show and was unable to be cancelled because of his pass. Hence Disney tried to bury the movie and the actors as deep as they could (excluding their edgy phase with Splash Mountain)
