Disney's early films weren’t innocent. Song of the South, Dumbo, and Peter Pan spread racist tropes to generations of kids. Nostalgia shouldn't excuse harm. #BannedHistory #DisneyAndRace #UnlearningMedia #JimCrowCinema
Old cartoons like Looney Tunes & Tom and Jerry hid racist caricatures in “humor.” Kids were taught stereotypes before they even understood them. #BannedHistory #CartoonRacism #HiddenInPlainSight #UnlearningMedia
Birth of a Nation (1915) wasn’t just a film—it was racist propaganda. It glorified the KKK, used blackface, & spread violent tropes. Hollywood was built on this. #BannedHistory #RacistCinema #Minstrelsy #UnlearningMedia
Minstrel shows created racist stock characters: Jim Crow, Mammy, Zip Coon, Sambo. These tropes still show up today — think “Mammy” in old Tom & Jerry or the “sassy Black friend” on TV. Different names, same harm. #BannedHistory #Minstrelsy #RacistTropes #UnlearningMedia
