“Heh, heh…keep laffin’, lil’ white chillun…”: Uncle Remus and friends
You probably know that Disney, global makers of fine family entertainment, has a rich history of racist characters in its long legacy of films, TV shows, and other properties. But any list of the company’s nine most offensive creations, like this one from Cracked.com, that merely ranks Song of the South‘s “Uncle Remus,” above, at number 2 has got to be a doozy.

Not much you can say about that. To me it’s just depressing sometimes. The commenters on that post are really something.
The times haven’t really changed that much. While racism may be less overt, it is still expressed in very subtle ways. Watch how the Republicans and the MSM react once Senator Obama is OFFICIALLY the Democratic Party nominee for POTUS. They will not be able to contain themselves.
