It's totally racist. That's what makes it funny. Laughing at it isn't laughing at old black stereotypes, it's laughing at the people who thought this way. The stupid old white people who thought "This is what black people are like, right?"
Is it racist? Yeah, it is. But take it in context people. Back when this cartoon was made (back in 1941), these stereotypes and depictions of blacks where acceptable. No one's saying it's ok, but we did lots of things back then that we admit today are wrong (like the use of asbestos and lead paint). Can't we just be mature about this?
Also, to those screaming "RACIST!!": There's a thin but definite line between racism and stereotype. Plenty of stereotypes are out there even today. Just get over it.
this clip isn't racist! think about it, they have jobs, they aren't selling/using drugs & none of them are robbing raping or killing whites
this clip makes blacks out be just harmless lazy idiots, blacks do have an average IQ of just <74pts but they are also hyper violent & acctualy enjoy robing raping & killing whenever possible
needless to say blacks destroy every place they inhabit e.g. Detiolet, Akron, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Washington DC, atlanta, New Orleans, Joannesburg/S. africa...
Hey people stop accusing those who like this cartoon of being racist. Animation fans of all races like animation because of its historical value, not because its racst.
there was a TV print of this cartoon? I rememeber seeing some of this with the orginial titles on Youtube! All retitled prints need to deteriorate. Seriously.
Lol at lazy town. Let me get this straight: The people who were enslaved for hundreds of years doing back-breaking work are lazy but the white people sitting on the porch aren't. This is bizarro world.
Not all fat people are lazy. Not all blondes are dumb. Pretty women have brains. These are cartoons, cartoons, cartoons. Dogs don't talk. Neither do rabbits. In cartoons they do. Mexicans aren't mice. Speedy Gonzales and his family are in the cartoon...... The french aren't skunks, pepe le pew is french and in a cartoon...... he is a skunk. All old people aren't toothless. You who take cartoons personally need to take self esteem classes. Stop looking at the glass as half empty....
lol i dont care if its racist... is just a cartoon ofcours they had to make fun of somthing lol and as for the back people thing look at it this way in bugs bunny they put the white dude whats his name ummm... elmer the hunter (white) as stuped, ignorent fool -_- cartoons are suposed to make fun of somthing in this one the black dudes where it :P and it was funny i guess same as some of the other cartoons i have seen
by far one of the worst cartoons ive ever seen. cartoons should be fun...universally. for all races and at any point in time. THAT, is a true classic; art for art's sake. i think its a sorry excuse for a cartoon even for 1941...hadn't mickey mouse already happened!?
white ppl are not lazy stealing land form natives takes a lot of work, so does raping native women and African women, spreading disease shipping Africans from the continent and selling them for to work for free \ or very cheap labor also requires alot of work as well
Boo hoo. I think you need to quit preaching to people and get over the fact that people were different then, in the sense that they didn't have to be politically and "respect everyone's differences" then. So shut up and don't watch the movie if it bothers you.
Yes this is a true classic. If you don't like the stereotypes then don't watch. The music is top notch and was a hit for The Andrews Sisters in 1941. I also have the color version too. Thanks for posting.

This is so incredibly racist I barely can believe it.
However this is from 1941 so you can't expect anything else, and as for the music itself, ain't bad :-)
And as for stereotypes? There's no stereotyping in this video, it's only racism at it's best ;-)
Well that's wrong by me, they stereotyped black people as lazy, horny, and stupid.
True classic? Maybe the music...
