well, you've got to be practical

besides, can you think of a reason why Walt Disney didn't deserve to indulge a bit into the American dream? He worked his ass off since he was a kid, chased his dreams in earl Hollywood, confronted setbacks at every turn, and in the process changed the face of entertainment forever.

considering he was a poor kid from the Midwest at one time, it seems like a happy turn of events that he had his own Cinderella story of sorts.

If he hated Jews, why did he hire the Sherman Brothers to write songs? He also said himself that he was never anti-labor in his life. Tape exists. He was only critical of them (and frankly so am I). And if he hated blacks, how do you explain his decision in teaching TV audiences about the various African cultures through his 50s Disneyland show?

It's easy to blame someone in hindsight today for doing things before the wonderful invention of Political Correctness.

Personally, I would. I imagine there would be some differences than his original vision, but its a brilliant concept.
