A movie I watched recently startled me with a stupefying fact; I was being bred to be a racist. The global giant that creates mass produced media focused at kids and panders to the ideals it forces parents to accept and tout, has a warped sense of the world and did nothing to change it. It relies heavily on our trust for them to move stereotypes from their false world into the make-believe one in our head. This was done with such obviousness [now] that I'm shocked my parents let me watch this, or that they did not take to arms and rally with other parents against this corporation; it would be almost too literally terrifying to compare this with another global power that bred children to be racists, trust in the big guys and make the parents believe they want this for their kids. That's right, I'm talking the fascist regime that Adolf Hitler created using the Nazi [National Socialism] party. The culprit that I'm accusing in this grand scheme of hatred is none other than
Walt Disney of the [Walt] Disney Company
and his movie, Dumbo.
There are many other created media items that can be targeted, but this is what got me since it made me sit up and realize what was going on. This movie presents people in such a stereotyped way, the most dramatic and blatantly racist being the 'Jive-Crows' that Dumbo meets. If you don't believe me, watch this movie and see what I'm talking about.
Hell, as long as we're here, lets explore some of these other movies, these... Disney [propaganda] movies. Racism is not the only thing that is wrong with these films; sexism and bigotry throughout Beauty and the Beast, Nazism readily apparent in The Lion King... the list can go on in both older movies and even films that are more modern. Essentially what this breaks down to is;
What the fuck.

I've gotta say you're right about all you've said, but I'd like to add that Bugs Bunny has and still is consistantly racist.
