Song of the South

[David Doilee]

You said "being white is the best!" So you're basically saying being white is better than being black/asian/indian/mexican/etc i.e. racism. I never said it's not okay to be proud of who you are, but it's not okay to disrespect other races.

I know a lot of people get offended by this movie and this clip. But when I was a kid watching this, I didn't know anything about racism or that anybody could possibly hate someone else just because of their skin. It made me happy to hear the song and still whenever I wake up in the morning and I just feel happy, I whistle this song. Doing so makes my day even better. I don't care about all that extra crap as much as it may be intended to offend. This song all by its self still makes me happy.

I like this song. I can remember to sing in the day time.

James Basket (the actor who portrayed Uncle Remus) is without question singing this in heaven since he died in 1948.

It's not a racist film at all. The NAACP (a racist organization by definition) decided to attack it before researching the facts. They disliked it because they claimed it portrayed a happy relationship between masters and slaves. The problems were a) some relationships were happy and b) this was post civil war and thus post slavery.

Instead of being proud of being black, white, etc..., how about just being proud to be alive? :)
