Not racist! How about when whites are called veriest off colored remarks even to this day! The door swings both ways,if it's not good for one it's not good for any others as well! I suppose it's species profiling in the scenes with Porky Pig..Or How about Yosemite Sam? Wonder what slur would fit Goofy or Daffy Duck?
great news I was told by my dealer at reichs kino that they bought the original masters from a whole sale of the original forbbidden fruit racist warner brothers 11 cartoons and they will be released very soon they are the masters also
I don't believe it was that African Americans didn't care. It was that it didn't matter if they cared. Many of you are forgetting that Al Jolson's comedy built off of the degradation of the African American race. It's racially insensitive... to say the least
This is not ban Cartoon Network had a Bugs Marathon in 2001 originaly they plan to show it,then pulled it.However Cartoon Network did air it, with the blackface part removed, on a ToonHeads special about lost and rare Warner Bros. cartoons.
Some syndicated TV prints discard the scene of Bugs in blackface.
There no law keep a network from showing the black face scene.
i think i hered that mel blanc (the voice of every looney tune charecter) was racist i dont know why but i hered that hes jewish.and another thing back then the african americans didn't care if they showed this.cuz i dont know if its a joke when the animaters were making this or they just didnt care
Considering it was pretty much just people drawing it frame-by-frame without any machines or computers to help them - and also considering how many Loony Toons cartoons were made - it's seriously mind-boggling how it always turned out so flawless.
It's not racist, really. It's a parody of The Jazz Singer, a popular movie, even today, of which its success allowed Warner Brothers to produce cartoons in the first place. Merely a friendly nod.
iM SOLD!!! iLL BUY SOME BONDS TODAY!!!! Great cartoon and great part of our history,nothing racist about this at all! Lighten up and thicken your skin!!! Its about coming together as Americans! We could use the togetherness today,with the Libs taking over and socialism knocking on the door!
Yeah there's nothing racist about black face at all right, yup the Liberals are taking over yet gays don't have equal rights, "minorities" still don't make as good a living as upper class whites but the Liberals and socialists are taking over. Libs, Repubs, Dems, Conservatives you're all ass backwards and neither one of you works towards the benefit of society or the people as a whole
Imitation is not racism. Well,what do you call what is going on in WASH.? Its not free-market ideas!!! Its a power grab plain and simple. Yes,both Dems and Repubs are guilty.Thats why youll see incumbents voted out this Nov.
Dont confuse special rights with human rights. If Im murdered by another male then its a horrific crime. But,if a gay man is murdered then it becomes a hate crime? Why is a Gay mans life more valuable than mine? Just need to use common sense.
No life should be more valuable than another why don't you omnivores process that.Why is your life more valuable than an animals, it isn't. Black face has always been racist because it's a derogatory depiction of black stereo types. Until people stop being complacent and waiting for politicians to fix things and stand up and fix it themselves they're doomed to repeat the same patterns. There's common sense for you
You're right, no life has more value than any other. ALL life is absolutely valueless. There is no value in any individual life, neither human nor animal.
Yep, and as soon as the liberals take over, everything will be wonderful and happy, and everyone will be "equal", and mankind won't have to care about Nature, or natural order, or that horrible thing called "Reality" :)
Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives all don't give a shit about progress. They only care about their values not what's in the best interest of everyone.Fuck your political system
He's acting like Al Jolson, who is white. Next you'll want to ban the Jazz Singer. The real problem is not using blackface, the real problem is that kids today don't know what blackface is, who Al Jolson was, or what the hell a war bond was for. Teach them about that, let them figure out any racist parts for themselves.
Irving Berlin wrote this song specifically for the first U.S. Savings Bond drive in the spring of 1941- and it was used again for this special "trailer".
Bob Clampett, who directed this special "trailer" for the U.S. Treasury Dept., introduced the "chubbier" version of Elmer in "Wabbit Twouble" (1941), and was featured him in his concurrent Bugs cartoon, "The Wacky Wabbit" (1942).
I must admit, the blackface bit was a little much, however I cannot say that the ends (assuming that the cartoon inspired people to purchase bonds) did not justify the means. It was important to keep up funding for the war effort so the importance of advertisements such as this one cannot be understated, however I think we would all prefer that blackface had been left out if possible.
What was racist about this film? Bugs Bunny doing the Al Jolson bit? *sighs* The people of this country have just way too much time on thier hands. Understand the context of the time these were made. Does anyone think that the Japanese/Germans/Italians would be made to appear human? This was a fight to the death, or don't some of you think so?
No, dear, during the Civil War, I don't think they had television yet. In fact, I don't even think they had motion pictures yet, but I could be wrong. This is about World War II, around 1930-1940, somewhere around there, I think. I never was good at history...

Bahgdad is in the middle east in the center of a contry recognized as Iraq which borders Iran to the east, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to the south, Jordan and Syria to the west/north, and Turkey to the north. the area was formerly known as mesopotamia or "the fertile crescent" since it was situated between two rivers the Tigris and Euprhates. I know this without a map or the internet so shut up! i probably have more schooling than u dickwad and i know that the war was a bad idea

WAs i close? I dont care ur still a fucking faggot! Tell me how this war has helped us. Economy? nope. Safety and security for our citezins? nope. Border security? nope. Oil prices?! nope. ur retarded fuckin shcmuck!
And it used to be common to smack women around.Blackface was done at a time when it was the only way for blacks to make $ thru TV,by degrading themselves.Blackface is a racist mockery of African Americans.Learn some cultural awareness
War Bond Cartoon contains Bugs portraying "black face" characterization of Al Jolson, who was a Jewish entertainer who appeared in 'blackface'....blackface is now regarded as racist.
He's doing an impression of Al Jolson and his "Mammy" routine. It was a BIG Vaudeville act in those days. Even the blacks were entertained by him and he even performed with blacks in blackface. No one saw it as distasteful or derogatory. Those that listen to this rap shit today about victimizing women and "offin' niggas" have absolutely no right to bitch where racism is concerned.
Even African American performers appeared in black face makeup. Black face was often used when a white performer wanted to sing a jazz song from Harlem, or dance like Bojangles Robinson.
Rap/Hip Hop is more degrading of African Americans than black face performing ever was. Everything is "ebonics" littered with poor grammer, 4-letter words, and calling black women "hoes and bitches". Twenty years from now, kids will be asking how Hip Hop could have been so racist.

Both Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam were members of the KKK. In addition, Daffy Duck was a communist. We all need to boycott their cartoons until Warner Brothers admits this!
I appreciate it for what it was. yeah, its a little racist by our terms, but back then this stuff was used for morale, thanks for posting this. :)
And I dont' wan tto debate with whiny ass people, go get a life, go protest for world hunger, I'm sure naughty cartoons aren't a big issue as people starving all over the world. :)
A cartoon character doing a minstrel show=racism?Do any of you crybaby, pussified P.C. liberal thought control
thugs know just how fucking STUPID you sound when you say things like that?Idiots!propagandists like you have no business condemning racism when you act just like Joseph Goebells.
man, that's one catchy toon. I've seen way worse stuff from bugs when it comes to racism, like when he zinged Yosamite Sam during a civil war spoof. Personally I'm split on racism. I'd enjoy it when it's handled in a more comical sense, like Russel Peters, opposed to derogatory uses like Dave Crapelle.
a lot of the wb cartoons were racist even into the late 60s...pepe le pew = stinky skunk..and hes french how funny is that? get over yourselves who cares if its racist its still some of the funniest stufff ever produced..get a life and quit ranting about racism ppl can and will say what they like shout em down all u like u are just angry cause ppl are entitled to opinions other than yours and thats way worse than racism in fact its facsist
i c u took my message as refering 2 u racist asshole,know this, u dont have 2 know where i live cuz if u say n e racist shit in public i dont have 2 do n e thing 2 u that the black community wouldnt do worse pussy
NO, Bugs is satirizing AL JOLSON, 'Jemini'. Sammy Davis Jr. was still a "child performer" [and virtually unknown] at the time this was circulated in 1942.
maybe they should get Warner Bros to do a new bugs bunny cartoon for the Iraq war.
I can c it now.... buy bonds for the Oil War... help bush keep his position that little longer... hell its not like the war has cost u poor bastards enough as it is
its not aired anymore. and these cartoons were meant for adults. all cartoons back the were for adults. it didn't become a kids thing till much later.
During WWII the government was selling war bonds to the public to be redeemed after the war in order to pay for the massive war effort in Europe and Japan.
Unlike the pacifist slobs and communists who run Hollywood today the entire entertainment industry got into supporting the American war effort.
Back then the War was not an option. We had to stop Hitler fomr taking over the world. Now there is a choice to be in Iraq, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Although, I don't agree with the pacifists in this case,
I'm sorry guys, he was NOT supposed to be a duck, notice the total lack of a BILL for evidence, bt quite frankly I don't what the hell he was supposed to be, He definitely had on what looked liked black-face make-up and the big white lips, but he didn't have the stereotypical manner of speech, sooooo I don't know.
hmm, for some reason i don't really find it that bad when characters like these talk about something like this. disney however, that threw me for a loop since-well you know its success. maybe it has to do with the fact that disney is supposed to be peaceful and blissful, but warner brothers go all the way out there. hitting with gigantic mallets, dynamites blowing up in faces, yea, that's probably it
no, he wasn't supposed to be a duck. But, considering he's a rabbit, it couldn't be racist, anyway. I mean, what color is a rabbit? Besides that, this cartoon aired during World War 2, and was made in support of The United States armed branches. Look at most cartoons and live shows from that time, and you'll see white actors painted up just like Bugs was. They were ignorant, but just like now, not all of them were racist.
This wasn't banned when it originally came out, it just isn't shown anymore due to being invalid. It's a commercial selling War Bonds, obviously nobody is going to air it now.
It's a bit hard to hear the lyrics, as the audio sounds muffled. That's common in a recording that old, but I wonder if it isn't just my hearing as well.
As for you dip sh@&*......We could have just printed cash but we did not (look up fort knox and WHY, no its not what we do now....). This was a time when people realized we could lose everything and wanted to keep that from happening.
For those that are asking about the BONDS-Yes it is like giving a loan to the U.S. Gov. and you would get the money back with a small amount of interest. Remember the U.S was in a depression when the war started and this way the government could build the materials needed to keep up the fight.(On another note: all of these and some other, now considered poor taste cartoons has been released by WB and Disney on DVD)
The reference in the cartoon as some have said was Al Jolson. However what was Known as Black Faced comedians and musicans had its origins further back than Jolson. it wasn't racists by standards of the day when Blacked Faced Preformers were around in early days of THEATRE. Try and get past your own rhetoric and look at the history
i think it was because the show was promoting war bonds where when you buy them the money goes in to the war and later you get your money back with intrest i think. so that may have been the reason.
Thank You for educating these kids Emac45.Back then blacks had no rights or a foot to stand on in the KKKourts to protest this racism.Those of U who wonder why such an issue now,its taken that long for it 2B the law in UR country U love so much.Respect it!!

And it used to be common to smack women around.Blackface was done at a time when it was the only way for blacks to make $ thru TV,by degrading themselves.Blackface is a racist mockery of African Americans.Learn some cultural awareness

War Bond Cartoon contains Bugs portraying "black face" characterization of Al Jolson, who was a Jewish entertainer who appeared in 'blackface'....blackface is now regarded as racist.

He's doing an impression of Al Jolson and his "Mammy" routine. It was a BIG Vaudeville act in those days. Even the blacks were entertained by him and he even performed with blacks in blackface. No one saw it as distasteful or derogatory. Those that listen to this rap shit today about victimizing women and "offin' niggas" have absolutely no right to bitch where racism is concerned.

Even African American performers appeared in black face makeup. Black face was often used when a white performer wanted to sing a jazz song from Harlem, or dance like Bojangles Robinson.
Rap/Hip Hop is more degrading of African Americans than black face performing ever was. Everything is "ebonics" littered with poor grammer, 4-letter words, and calling black women "hoes and bitches". Twenty years from now, kids will be asking how Hip Hop could have been so racist.

man, that's one catchy toon. I've seen way worse stuff from bugs when it comes to racism, like when he zinged Yosamite Sam during a civil war spoof. Personally I'm split on racism. I'd enjoy it when it's handled in a more comical sense, like Russel Peters, opposed to derogatory uses like Dave Crapelle.

NO, Bugs is satirizing AL JOLSON, 'Jemini'. Sammy Davis Jr. was still a "child performer" [and virtually unknown] at the time this was circulated in 1942.

HikaruYamamoto 4 years ago
During WWII the government was selling war bonds to the public to be redeemed after the war in order to pay for the massive war effort in Europe and Japan.
Unlike the pacifist slobs and communists who run Hollywood today the entire entertainment industry got into supporting the American war effort.

kirbyrox8 4 years ago
no, he wasn't supposed to be a duck. But, considering he's a rabbit, it couldn't be racist, anyway. I mean, what color is a rabbit? Besides that, this cartoon aired during World War 2, and was made in support of The United States armed branches. Look at most cartoons and live shows from that time, and you'll see white actors painted up just like Bugs was. They were ignorant, but just like now, not all of them were racist.

This wasn't banned when it originally came out, it just isn't shown anymore due to being invalid. It's a commercial selling War Bonds, obviously nobody is going to air it now.

For those that are asking about the BONDS-Yes it is like giving a loan to the U.S. Gov. and you would get the money back with a small amount of interest. Remember the U.S was in a depression when the war started and this way the government could build the materials needed to keep up the fight.(On another note: all of these and some other, now considered poor taste cartoons has been released by WB and Disney on DVD)

The reference in the cartoon as some have said was Al Jolson. However what was Known as Black Faced comedians and musicans had its origins further back than Jolson. it wasn't racists by standards of the day when Blacked Faced Preformers were around in early days of THEATRE. Try and get past your own rhetoric and look at the history
Emac45 4 years ago
i think it was because the show was promoting war bonds where when you buy them the money goes in to the war and later you get your money back with intrest i think. so that may have been the reason.
