This bothers me, as bre'r rabbit is a genuine part of African-American folklore. The idiot disparaging it as "written by a white guy" is missing the context that HE KNEW HOW TO WRITE. These stories were a part of oral tradition and might have been lost if someone didn't bother to record them at all. But no, it's better to replace it with some shoddy product (which was also deemed problematic because, for most of the movie's runtime, the black princess isn't even human) because ... because Disney said so? Same as what happened with the Maelstrom ride, which was about genuine Nordic culture, now replaced by Frozen ... which was inspired by it. Poorly.
He still made commie propaganda cartoons and he still wanted to built a society in which he owned everything and the only reason he didn't try is that he died
it's racist for people to say that a white man cannot chronicle black southern culture when he bore personal witness to it.
I'm laughing because the dude was a "progressive" too:
Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris, he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady (1880–1889), which stressed regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era;
At the age of 14, Harris quit school to work. In March 1862, Joseph Addison Turner, owner of Turnwold Plantation nine miles east of Eatonton, hired Harris to work as a printer's devil for his newspaper The Countryman.[5] Harris worked for clothing, room, and board.
While at Turnwold Plantation, Harris spent hundreds of hours in the slave quarters during time off. He was less self-conscious there and felt his humble background as an illegitimate, red-headed son of an Irish immigrant helped foster an intimate connection with the slaves. He absorbed the stories, language, and inflections of people like Uncle George Terrell, Old Harbert, and Aunt Crissy.[6] The African-American animal tales they shared later became the foundation and inspiration for Harris's Uncle Remus tales. George Terrell and Old Harbert in particular became models for Uncle Remus, as well as role models for Harris.
He was white and because people are so enlightened and not racist today they can dismiss his efforts and his very life based on the color of his skin.
He wasn’t progressive by modern standards, which means he wasn’t progressive at all. There’s no mention in the bio of him supporting sex changes or Ukraine.
Excuse my blog post.
I once suffered through watching Back to the Future with some very liberal friends (this was in 2018 or so). While watching, one of them pulled up an article about how Biff in part 2 was based on Donald Trump. It makes sense, as it was filmed in the late 80's and he owned a casino in that movie. Somehow, they extrapolated this to mean that Biff was also based on Trump in the first movie (the one we were watching.) They began saying that him trying to rape Lorraine made so much more sense, considering Trump's "grab them by the pussy" attitude (a quote which didn't become known until 2016.)
That's when the horror struck me: despite being fans of a time travel movie franchise, their liberal hivemind couldn't think four-dimensionally. Trump was ALWAYS known as "grab them by the pussy" man. Ukraine has always been under threat by Putin. And, of course, Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Everything that made the Disney parks different than just another amusement park (Walt's vision) is being stripped away.
Well Walt was anti commie but the company is named after him. So they are destroying it slowly
He still made commie propaganda cartoons and he still wanted to built a society in which he owned everything and the only reason he didn't try is that he died
Exactly. The guy who wrote it acknowledged that he got it from oral tradition of former slaves who couldn’t read or write.

Two things.
Damn. Almost unbelievable to think Putin had supporters even back in the 1800s.
