[shade927]

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@shade927 This is quite positive, compared to how most black people in the ghetto act.

[SARISS80]

@TheDudeYouHateToMeet really how does white people in the trailer park act? Think before you post such nonsence.

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@SARISS80 Yes, next time before i post a comment or opinion I'm gonna ask everyone on the face of the earth if it offends them.

IF MY COMMENT OFFENDED YOU, DON'T READ THE FUCKER! You stupid pansy bitch, I'll bet you always have the TV tuned to FOX news just so you have something to bitch about on your message board.

[shugoreese]

lol  lol

[StopDroolinLadies]

This is more than historicaly inaccurate, @ThaYowza. Sad thing is that people don't even see all of the "inaccurate" things about this video, not only does it default African Americans it locks and targets Asians and Mexicans, when it all boils down its nothing but pure white supremecy. Thank god that we've come to a position in society to where we can mold as races into something better than we were before, Change is our future.

[gralkan]

the colorful three and there backround is a cotton field

[NickyClemente]

Why the fuck are babies of African American descent back then ALWAYS protrayed as being Super dark with unaturally Huge lips and sickning googly eyes? That is just bullshit, I would have rather they DIDNT put us in their cartoons then atleast it would not be disrespectful. I guess the good thing is that this dumbass show is banned so it wont ever come back to haunt my kids, grand kids, and even their kids.

[NeedABrain]

Nah, there's far worse stuff from the same epoch. They even did positive-stereotype the chinese boy as a genius. Why don't you complain about the outrageaous ink child abuse?

[JCSjelde]

brutal....

[ThaYowza]

Wait, whats a black woman doing sitting next to a white man? This is historically inaccurate, she should be in the balcony along with all the other black people.

[ViolinSnowKid]

Says my cracker friend who fucked black women in the past.

[UltimaXG2]

It was banned because there were black people in a white audience. o:

[hamneggwich]

And nobody gives a shit about the asian kid, he was badass

[mwingereza]

Hi Di Hi is part of the chorus of "Minnie the Moocher" by Cab Colloway & Orchestra. Ironically, Calloway (and that song) had featured in an earlier Betty Boop cartoon. Perhaps there had been some subsequent falling out between the Betty Boop producers and Calloway, that resulted in the association of Hi Di Hi with African Americans crying. You can see the other cartoon on YouTube at : /watch?v=HaZOXF83zBg

[KingdomHearts4Lyfe69]

Creepy

[SynonymousGears]

My teacher showed us this in class one day.

That day was the day he almost ended his career.

[crackerHero]

even if its racist who cares people freak out to much about racism these days

[Botany101]

Anyone else see the bucket of fried chicken by the black baby on the end towards then end when all the other babies are drinking milk in the giant crib?

[016095333243]

What the fuck? Really? Seriously?

Those animators are some racist bastards.

[yjsrule]

HAHA!!!! Thats so funny, why do black people love watermelon so much? Its hilarious how they all cry until they are given watermelon. So true

[trickchack]

@yjsrule Reminds me of when I met this three year old at the park who thought that wolfish was a language

[ciciomax]

This is scary as fuck.

[Nikkilicous13]

omg u all need 2 chill 1st off this was made in 1930's hellooo? bein racist wasnt considered wrong back then, 2nd off who cares bout the watermelon?! it was 4 the seeds ppl! the whole thing where the kid spit them out at the guy u dont need 2 find anything wrong in that 3rd it is racist but not as bad as some ppl r tryin 2 make it.

[jonnyGasper]

why is it racist? LOL well you have the colorful three (as soon as you hear that you know) and they yell HYDIE HO HYDIE HO for water melon. and the black people were obviously made to look like monkies in this cartoon

[darraghtank]

what ? you mean black people dont have white rings around there mouths and are incessantly eating watermelon ?

[abukamoon]

Why is it supposed to be racist to show black people in cartoons?  Is it racist to show white people in them? This is a lot of nonsense. There is nothing racist here!

[rlmadrid1]

They use to feed watermelon to the black slaves. How is that not racist?

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@rlmadrid1 How about this. Ban watermelon and fried chicken. Would that make you happy, you delicate fuckin pansy?!

[stevensonbak]

@rlmadrid1 My mom also used to put watermelon in my lunchbox when I was in preschool.

Whats your point?

[rlmadrid1]

@stevensonbak If you quit being so stubborn and arrogant like the immature minded fool you are, you would know exactly what my point is. Don't reply, I don't participate in petty YouTube arguments.

[stevensonbak]

@rlmadrid1 When I see a really stupid/pseudo-concerned post like yours, I let that commenter know.

You don't seem to have changed your opinion from 2 years ago, so just think about this; white people used to commonly be slaves too (or sometimes serfs) all over the world. Their staple diet consisted of barley products like bread and ale.

So if the video was produced by a black studio and had a white guy eating sawdust bread and getting drunk on ale, should I cry, "RACISM" too?

[primohomme]

Yes, PUSSY LIPS

[mwingereza]

I wonder why the scat lyrics of Cab Calloway's 1931 song "Minnie the Moocher" (Hi De Hi De Hi De Hi, Ho De Ho De Ho De Ho) had to be ridiculed as crying by the "Colorful Three" (from 03:24 onwards). This is especialy odd, since (according to wikipedia) Calloway re-recorded Minnie the Moocher, in 1932, for a Betty Boop cartoon of the same name, and in which the band appear for 30 seconds. Then there's the "all African Americans love watermelon" stereotype (from 03:36). This is real hatred.

[KrazC09]

wow..tht is really rasist!!! its quite shocking. but you got to remember what centuary all these were made in...like disney cartoons were rasist too...but that was what it was like.

Just pointing out a fact :)

[Poeden]

@KrazC09 Do you by chance mean decade?

[primohomme]

hahaha, racism is funny :)

[PinkIntellect15]

betty is so freakin cute!! love her!! && omfg that was definitely racist when homeboy stuck that watermelon out that the curtain and babies went loco! NOT COOL. there is no way around it, that was racist as hell especially how the blacks were sitting in the BACK of the room and watermelon was used stereotypically.

[Kennethwells7594]

he was a baby dude

[trinidadparaminman]

if you youtubers think this is racist then check out a cartoon called "Clean Pastures"!

[slamaplaya]

This wasent banned becaus of the stereotypes.

[FrostedLane]

Then why was it banned?

[slamaplaya]

Because, there was a black woman in the audience, which wasn't allowed in the 30s; white people started complaining thus banning the cartoon.

[FrostedLane]

What, so black people weren't allowed to sit in the audience?

[slamaplaya]

@FrostedLane No, they had to sit in balconeys with other blacks.

[FrostedLane]

Oh...that sucks.

[ssb4smasher]

Some of the most powerful, beautiful, and inspirational people are white, too. My point being that it doesn't make a shit of difference what race any of us are, we're all equal. But commenting on the video itself, WTF!!! Were those supposed to be MONKEYS?!? JEEZ this is racist.

[Jellyboner]

after the unfortunately called "colorful three," is that suppose to be a native america baby or asian baby ?

[sexidreamgurl]

3:11 - 4:06 (soooo fricken racist) Im not even black and I think that's just wrong!!

[johnnnyboy1119]

I'm sorry but you just have to have a sense of humor about this. If shows that mainly star black people make racist comments about whites (which they USUALLY ALWAYS DO).. we just laugh it off because it's funny. It's funny what they did in this cartoon I think, and I'm not racist.

[shikon432]

Its weird how back then they tried anything to demean us. But they couldn't hold us down forever. Some of the most powerful, beautiful, and inspirational people are black.

[itsthegreenplatypus]

I know aren't black people amazing? We've taken a lot of crap

[ForYouchube]

You mean you GRANDPARENTS who actually worked for something and didn't just sit at home getting financial aid? You don't take crap these days, you give crap.

[itsthegreenplatypus]

Actually no that's not what I meant. There's still racism today...and black people still work hard...What are you talking about financial aid...? I'm not on financial aid...i'm actually a child. lol

[ilovekittycat]

well of course it would be racist its from the 1930s everyone was rasict back then remember history class ppl TxT

[themanwithnonose]

ur ok with racism? so ill fucking hang u from a tree or make u my slave and u will b fine with it

[ilovekittycat]

nooooooooo, im just saying that everybody was racist in the 1930's smart one, have you not been through u.s. history class, or were you not paying attention?! TxT

[panaplan]

i love watermelon too and my ass is as white as the queen of england. but that shit was and still is wrong!!!!!!!

[cocostardoll]

this is so racist the white kids look all normal and the black kids are called the colur three and they look like monkeys how racist

[LucifugeSwe]

well, it was under the apartheid era. although its creepy how far they go with it. :O

[AdamantKos]

Look at the background when "the colorful 3" appear, its a cotton field

[DedMunkE]

not 2 mention how the kids r craving watermelon! (it would b worse w/ fried chicken! XD) plus the asian. notice it wuz shoting the pop gun. reminds me of the communist days of china. and the mexican babies. i don't hav 2 say anything about that! lol

[ScandalB52]

this isnt racist even though im very ok with racism this isnt racist these are not black those are little cat creatures

[slasherjbr]

they're supposed to be black babies. they make their mouths large as a stereotype

[brittcoffer2011]

It's a stereotype that all blacks love watermelon.

[0mri]

ok besides being totally racist.. what is up with the watermelon? i didn't get it.

[MatthewRlaw]

Who carries watermelon in their purse? Haha.

[Naturereal]

Well done. Gotta love the way the images move in rhythm with the music. What year was this created?

[mohsoldier2]

Where they trying to make fun of Asians in this cartoon? 'Cuz it looked like it did...

[nano511]

Lolo did we miss the black woman feeding her baby watermelon when he was crying? XD

[TheInsaneRose]

I actually think the one with the little oriental boy was even more rasict that "the colorful three"

[ElPerro716]

lol they should put this one back on the saturday morning cartoons, the kids would love it!

[rockdude492]

This is why I hate how girls today still sport betty boop.

It was a vapid, idiotic show in the first place, and on top of that, its quite obviously racist.

[detestt]

disney itself is racist in many ways

[AnalogueAudio1985]

HAHAHA!!! That was hillarious!

[purpler0ckaah]

you know, thats terrible. black kids pinned together (like they chained the slaves back in the day), Cab Calloway cries and you only shut them up when they eat watermelon. & Big white lips to represent blackface?? How stereotypical.

But I'm pretty sure we don't go around saying Betty Boop represents the "Massa's" whore'n ass daughter who lifts her skirts every time she gets a chance.

This is some racist bullshit.

[Kryptoman333]

wow, the black ppl look like fuckin monkeys. so racist. "the colorful three", wow.

[psychopomp88]

Y'know, no one's going to deny that we still face racial divides in America and elsewhere..but I think we've come along way when you think that to make this cartoon today would get so much hatred and be banned

[NalaniProductions]

wouldnt people think thats racist against russians too?

[LilliputSight]

I rofl'd at The Colorful Three.

[OasisEnLaLunna]

You have to laugh at how ridiculous people's mnds were back then to find something like this as comic relief. This is proof of the white man's obsession with black people that they felt a need to always use their image when they can't think of anything better to do.

That being said...the watermelon and the Cab Calloway cries...maaaaan.

[MaroonStorm]

I'm black, and i hate watermelons 0.o

lmao

[DiabloDave363]

so watermelons was a stereotype back then. and i c the big lips.

[DiabloDave363]

how was it racist? how they illistrated black people? or did they say something

[MaroonStorm]

"The COLORFUL three"

LMAO

[DiabloDave363]

notice the cotton fields in the background.

[MaroonStorm]

lol they tried to pass them off as flowers

[bugses101]

hydeho deho! so wrong and sad

but i gotta admit, it was a little funny

but i hate watermelon now

[DiabloDave363]

was watermelon a stereotype of black people back then or something?

[bugses101]

well sort of

it kinda goes along with how all black people love fried chicken and stuff like that

or like how hispanics love tortillas

its not really racist persay, more like profiling

[BuffBRockstar]

Hydee ho! Hydee ho! lol... But thats was pretty racist...

[skippyalex]

WOW that was really racist!

1.they called the triplits the colerful 3 :O

2.they drew the black ones horrible

3.the indian 1 shot down those soldiers

[marsman888]

no shit it was made back then and it is racist.

[psychopathic16]

oydejo oydejo !!! lmao

[HeyPlayGirl99]

so racist but the black ones were really cute...haha

[marsman888]

i know its 1935, but they could have made her hotter though right? And not SOOOOOO Goofy.

Ok back to the video: The Thing with the indian women *baby 2* Im not sure if thats really racist.

but the colorful 3.....even the name is racist but the way they pictured them?! Thats just even worse! They made them look like monsters and they had them crying and stuff. And how they were singing about things people would say back on the southern fields. Now really.

Thats messed up.

[AfroTaro1]

Thats messed up...

[lynwoodloser]

omg that is so f****** up i cant believe they made something like this.

[kaylita617]

How is this not racist?If you don't c it you're either ignorant or racist.Here r reasons so that u can learn & contemplate: 1. They had stereotypical "liver lips" which was a sign of ugliness shown by white ppl. 2. They all had twig like hair. No black ppl have twig-like hair. Just b cuz it isn't str8 & thin doesn't mean it's ugly.

3. They were easily manipulated by watermelon. During slavery the fruit was common diet 4 black ppl because it was cheap & White ppl saw it as "pickaninny food"

[akosielli]

What's up with the watermelons?!

[Nate1316]

me 2

[Jyemenai]

Wow... They tried to hit every nationality with this one. Glad my mom (apparently) never saw this -- she loves Betty Boop.

Oh, and PS: black face cartoons are horrible. Glad theres no more like that.

[Nalkaria]

I recently saw a Holly Dolly music video, where one character is a black sheep... with an afro and huge lips who is, apparently, trying to ruin the others' fun in her videos
