Correct- no reparations are needed. Who pays them? Who received them?
Countless groups have been discriminated against in horrible ways- do they receive too?

That’s not a Denver Post article. It’s an AP opinion piece that ran in the Denver post.Will The Denver Post suffice?:
Blackface, other insensitivities ran rampant in ’80s culture
At the time Virginia’s future political leaders put on blackface in college for fun, Dan Aykroyd wore it too — in the hit 1983 comedy “Trading Places.”www.denverpost.com

The article was written by Russell Contreras of the Associated Press and appeared in The Denver Post. Perhaps you do not understand how the AP works. The AP is a nonprofit news agency that is owned by affiliated newspapers, television and radio stations in the United States. The AP shares news stories among its members.
And contrary to your assertion, this is a news story, not an opinion piece. Most people recognize that the many cold and hard facts in the article make that abundantly clear. Aside from the fact that the subheading at the top of the article states in bold red letters, "NEWS".
And here are two more sources for you to complain about:

Interesting- I do t recall seeing any comments from you about Gov. Northam or Trudeau and their black face experience...or Kimmel, Fallon, Silverman?

I wasn’t complaining, merely pointing out you were wrong. You still are. It is an AP editorial piece masquerading as news that ran in the Denver Post. “Ran rampant” is an opinion. Whether you or I agree with it is irrelevant...because it remains an opinion.The article was written by Russell Contreras of the Associated Press and appeared in The Denver Post.

You seem to disagree with the facts presented and you feel entitled to make up your own facts and call the article an "opinion piece". That is a common tactic of the alternative right.

Asking if the Denver Post would suffice is either a mistake or disingenuous, as the source is the AP. The Post, like others, run articles from other sources. It doesn’t make the Post the source.

Not forgotten at all. The die is cast.
If they were really pushing to retheme Splash you think we would've heard more about it

I don’t think there’s any more pushing to re-theme. Disney already announced they are doing it.

This clearly wasn’t meant to be announced for a few months at the very least. Probably not even till next year. They took advantage of world events to get some “good publicity”.

As has been mentioned in previous posts, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah also has a racist history. This is just more evidence for those folks still denying the truth:

Why ice cream trucks could be changing their jingle
The new jingle will replace "Turkey in the Straw," a tune with a racist history.

Your wokeness is beyond compare. Let’s get those virtues singnaled! Everyone hold hands, pass the puppies out, and hug!!!

It's not a matter of wokeness. It's a matter of good business practices. It's not good business for TWDC to support overt racism in any of their attractions even if that racism appeals to a certain segment of our society.

The only thing this article proves is that Steamboat Willie, The Cartoon Disney pushes to kingdom come, should be banned because Turkey in the Straw is featured prominently, and the song is apparently “racist” now.As has been mentioned in previous posts, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah also has a racist history. This is just more evidence for those folks still denying the truth:

Last time I checked, Zipadeedoodah has nothing to do with Turkey in the Straw. Unless you’re still trying to push that it connects to the alternate version of the song simply because they both have the word “Zip” in the title.

Well, the jig is up. Guess Disney has to ban all of this now.
