Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for May 06, 2022

Using the power of government to punish those who dare disagree publicly with you is a near textbook case of fascism no?

In Song of the South, Uncle Remus is not a slave anymore. The movie takes place after the Great Emancipation of 1865.

One of the most uncomfortable caricatures in Old Disney is Peter Pan’s Indian Chief.

Fifty years ago, Meathead got under Archie Bunker’s skin by pointing out that Mickey Mouse is black.

Thank you for not going into Ted Cruz’s funny but gross ‘Mickey and Pluto’ angle!

DeSantis wants to touch DeChildren. For real tho, he’s a total pedo.

Who is the gay character in panel four? (Oh, right, both of them!)

You have to remember that Death Sentence started out by pandering to the base (and I mean that in more than one way) members of the Traitor Trump cult, wanting to use them for his own political advancement. Not being a (complete) imbecile, nor a lunatic, he didn’t believe a word of the nonsense he was spouting. Yet, after a while, he DID start to believe his own ridiculous blather. Thus, once again, yet again, we see that cults end up eating their own……

So 43 year old Ron DeSantis is to blame for Disney’s bigotry 70 years ago.

Now watch Uncle Remus at the voting booth….

Yes, DeathSantis really IS this disconnected from truth and reality.

One of my favorite early New Yorker cartoons features two Chinese boys (wearing traditional clothes and obviously in China) reading a thriller comic: “His blood ran cold as the sinister white face and round blue eyes of Johnny Jones peered over the windowsill.”

Nice…

So it is bad for business to put stereotypes, how is it not bad for business to push the LGBLT agenda?

I don’t have a dog in this fight (neither Goofy nor Pluto), but I’ve wondered about how the arrangement in which the Disney corporation becomes the government of half the county came about in the first place. I’m not comfortable with corporations getting big tax concessions and eminent-domain privileges to build their profit-making stadiums and amusement parks. Shouldn’t this corporation have been required to obey the same laws as anyone else all along?

TBH, which specific racial trope you are comfortable with is not the issue. Even that you are comfortable or not comfortable with one is not the base issue. It is that you define your world by our differences and then diminish the humanity of others while doing so. I do this with Republicans and Christians just because the tendency of any collective is to set the parameters of the acceptable and not acceptable. Not as joiner, but still a bigot.

And this guy wants to be president? We have already had a clown in the office!

Until fairly recently, Joel Chandler Harris’s house in Atlanta, Wren’s Nest, for many years now a museum of sorts, would not admit Negro persons.

I’m still hot for Princess Summerfallwinterspring. With what sinuous grace did she dance to drums?
