#  When "Splash Mountain", an amusement ride based on the film, "Song of the South" opened in Disneyland in the '90's, the local NAACP and others protested the ride.

# Contrary to misconception, the film takes place after the U.S. Civil War, during the period known as, "Reconstruction".

# According to James Snead's book, "White screens/black images", p. 93: "At the film's New York premiere in Times Square, dozens of black and white pickets chanted, 'We fought for Uncle Sam, not Uncle Tom,' while the NAACP called for a total boycott of the film, and the National Negro Congress called on black people to 'run the picture out of the area.'"

# In an article titled, "Disney's Laughin' Place" by Frank Stephenson, we read that, "Following its debut, the NAACP registered its official displeasure of what it called the film's 'racial stereotyping' a charge echoed by the National Urban League."

# The film was first released in 1946. Disney re-released the film in 1956, but in 1970 Disney announced in Variety that "Song of the South" had been "permanently" retired, but the studio eventually changed its mind and re-released the film in 1972, 1981, and again in 1986 for a 40th anniversary celebration.

# On May 8, 2007, the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, which includes representatives from the Los Angeles Civil Rights Assn., the NAACP National Board, and the Youth Advocacy Coalition, sent out a press release denouncing Disney's contemplation to re-release "Song of the South".

I have no sympathy for the point of view that this film is somehow rascist. Isn't every character in every movie somehow a stereotype? This film presents a profound message of humanity, kindness, and dare I say unconditional love, and Uncle Remus is the messenger. -LT
