Disney cartoons were/are racist. Can we forgive them?

Seriously, what about "Gone With The Wind"? If the memorable scenes with Pork, Mammy, and Prissy were edited out, what would be left?

That is a good point, once mentioned, thought about it.

Oh my gosh i so loved Freddy Prinz Sr, was so very upset, when he commited suicide. Like his Son too.
