Uncle Remus


Silly accusations of racism has driven one of the most charming movies of all times underground ... (now not available in the US) “The Song of theSouth” from the Walt Disney Studios ... before it became an ultra-PC bunch of wimps. Play the above vignette to get a taste of how beguiling this film really was ... with Uncle Remus and Br’er Rabbit ... and how it championed black culture and clearly did not derided it.

All we are allowed to taste of the black experience today is the hard edge of Gangsta Rap, Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter. How very sad.
