Name the author of the stories Song of the South is based on? Who cashed Walt Disney's check? This guy.

I was responding to the claim that Disney did this so they could "trumpet their wokeness". The announcement is all about the addition of the PATF IP and does not make any reference to the Song of the South's troubled history. You are pointing to a few quotes at the bottom of the announcement...

Does that brief message of inclusion from a woman of color offend you?

People are embarrassing themselves frankly. This and other recent conversations do no reflect well on this community.

I find it ironic when the rage machine kicks in over the perception of manufactured rage.

You think the pushback has been immense?! Outside of forums like this one, there's no pushback.

You're off to a great start!

What sources would you find acceptable? Because there are volumes of articles written about the ways in which Song of the South is problematic. Or did you think Disney locked it in the vault permanently because they hate money?

I am curious about your argument. Because you claim some people will always be offended, what, we should never pay attention? At the end of the day, Disney is a business and they will make a business decision. A long time ago, they made a decision to ban the movie Splash Mountain is based on...
