This thread is closed as it has served its purpose.

All this talk about bootleg material is causing me to think this thread might have come to the end of the road. It’s one post away from being locked down.

I think we all know that!

That’s fine, but it’s not really germane to this discussion.

That has nothing to do with this subject matter!

I wouldn’t view them!

Not just black actors. Black people in general had to endure a bunch of crap just to survive during the Jim Crow era in this country. My grandfather who was born in 1901 in Connecticut, told me horror stories about how it was back then whether living in the South, Hollywood California or...

In your opinion. Unfortunately, Disney doesn’t share that opinion.

I’m not going to warn you again!

Stop it! That type of post isn’t allowed here.

Please! I tolerate black face in old movies, but I don’t like it.

Disney executives are people too.

Possibly, but it could be in a negative way.

I don't think anybody on this forum is upset that some people want this title released on Blu-ray or the loss of Splash Mountain. At least, they haven't expressed that emotion here. I think many of us have come to realize that Disney isn't changing their mind regarding those issues. It's...

Unfortunately, from your POV, it's not your decision.

It's a matter of opinion. If I had my way, I would release it under certain conditions as I prefer all films be released to the general public as a matter of principle and film education regarding prior film eras. However, as a black man, I can understand why some people like one of my sisters...

I don't understand it either as people outraged by this subject are clearly in the minority because Disney is doing what's best for their brand and have not received enough blow back from their consumer base to change their actions.

That's a cheap shot that wasn't necessary.
