Wait, so what is Zecora's theme? This meme might be going too far. |

^Any show featuring people of color. Especially OLD cartoons. |

Back in the day this happened, it was done with no true malice intended. The black community had bigger issues to deal with than how they were portrayed in Disney cartoons.... have values changed, or have we all just gotten thinner skinned?
Maybe both, but perhaps more of the latter. There is nothing to be gained, as one former slave activist said, by beating on old graves. |

^Anon 2 is right. The year Fantasia came out congress or something rejected a ban against lynching. For it's time this was tame. |

YES, values have changed. For one thing, it's less acceptable to burn crosses on people's lawns, and eugenics are no longer fashionable in politics. And of course we have become thinner skinned. It kinda comes with rejecting the aforementioned values. These old cartoons and whatnot don't offend me, but Disney's attempt to censor their past does. Hurston wasn't a "slave activist," by the way, former or otherwise. Personally, I always preferred another quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." |

That's a non sequitur. |
