The Monkey Song from the Jungle Book

Blackface isn't limited to jazz or any type of music. Its what they do & say, not Prima or Lind Hop that matters. Look at the blackfac "tribute" to the Jackson 5 - racist

The song is about wanteing to be people, not just white. Disney & othrs like Kipling didn't consider blacks people - neither did US Supreme Court w/ Dredd Scott.

So saying "I wanna be a man" coming from a man who was part of the Nazi Party of America. He even put anti-semetic & literal blacface in many cartoons. Its racist

3 cheers to you my friend

You have the right to disagree, you also have the right to not view content you might find offensive. So do you spent your free time viewing videos you know will be offensive to you just so you have something to bitch about ? And
A) the monkeys were doing the Lindy Hop not the minstrel dance...
B) the song is about wanting mans secret of fire, not wanting to be white
C) Louis Prima didnt seem to offended when he was cashing Disneys check.

Only on YouTube can you get a simple, innocent, wonderful 5 minute video of a musical number taken from a classic Disney movie, and then have people commenting on some bullsh*t to do with racism. I mean seriously, some people should just not be allowed access to the internet.

I have never once, not when I was a child, and not now, seen anything even remotely racist in this film, and the type of person who does see that is actually looking for it. Stop infecting kids with political correctness!

I do, this was always my favorite part of the movie being a jazz and swing dance fan..... I love how the monkeys do the lindy hop..........

fav. part in the movie :) sooo funny i like the monkey that plays the leaf like a guitar. :)

@thomasperkins101 i always lol at that part

@imfernando2 same here man. people are so worried about the racist, thing that they dont see the funny part.

nobodys actually enjoying classic disney are they?

Bagheera-this will take brains not brawn
Baloo-you better believe it and I'm loaded with both-the way he said it killed me
