Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (Very racist)

Yes, I agree this is very bad and racist. It is clearly a product of its time, but still painful to watch. I can't believe they could cram so much racism into a 7 min film. It should be noted that this short is part of the famous (infamous) Censored Eleven. They are a collection of racist shorts that WB is ashamed of showing ever. This one is certainly fits that grouping.

So, is this as racist as the scene from Dumbo with the jive-talking crows? I am not 100% sure the crow scene from Dumbo is that racist. But, that's for another post. But, yeah this short is far worst. It shows its age by making “So White”, the hero, a slut. She goes around shaking her ass and actually has sex with groups of men. Often during this time period, black women were viewed as being loose. And, this cartoon displays that hurtful attitude.

There are those that defend the movie on the merits of its animation, which was considered groundbreaking at the time, but we can't look pass the downright meanness of the portrayal of black people in this piece.

Here's the full “short”. Beware, it is very racist.

What makes this racist?

-The red juicy lips on all the black people.

-The over the top “black”

-Gold/dice teeth. WTF?

-They even threw in some racist remarks to the Japanese. Wow, just wow.

Notes

-Snow White is basically a slut. She clearly has a gangbang with all the Murder Inc guys! I can't believe they got away with that one in the 40s.

-Snow White ate the apple whole. What the f'?

-Why did the Prince turn into an old man?   

Really, WB?  Really?
