    I loved Crows, when I was a kid. 😢 They were second characters on a movie who treated Dumbo kindly (mocking him first, but showing kindness later) and looked past his disability.
    I've always thought that everyone treated Dumbo poorly not only because of his ears, but because of his kind nature, because he couldn't protect himself and was mute.
    No one stood for him apart of that small mouse, that couldn't do anything to protect him, just console him.
    I've always had impression that the crows were non-judgemental, supporting and very inspirational towards Dumbo.
    Probably, bc he was outcast for everyone like they were at that time.
    To me now their short friendship is a symbol of empathy and kindness even in the worst situations, when no one wants you. ❤

      I understand why they'd wanna remove her, but at the same time I think it's important to own up to mistakes and be aware of history rather than just erase it.
      Also it seems kinda demeaning to remove a prominent black character and replace her with a white one smh

      I get what you are saying but it’s not that people are born to be racist. The evolutionary defense mechanism you’re referring to is there to have the brain automatically group things into categories in order for fast identification of safe things and dangerous things. It leads to you knowing how to specify what berries are good and what to look out for if they can be bad. This trait incidentally can spark racism but not cause it. It’s just an old but technically still potentially useful biological trait that in a entirely different setting from its development can be misused.

      Well now that you say it like that yes I can see it working in that way to some capacity. However I feel racism wouldn’t solve that issue. So though the mechanisms may work in this way to identify a problem, racism isn’t the solution to it. Perhaps working to better understand why the issue is occurring and avoiding it or resolving it is best.

      @la-ariemartinez3184 4 роки тому +6

      @John Exum
      Over all I don’t agree with what you are saying.
      There is always going to be conflict it, could be between entirely species! I don’t see how this directly means multiculturalism is what leads to conflict, rather conflict is always present no matter the color, race, or species.
      Yes multiculturalism probably does benefit some people more then others.
      Yes I do not think racism can be eliminated but at least mitigated and minimized.
      Segregation would not do either it it would simply mask and ignore it as well as further encourage it.
      “White” is a very loose term. Depending on who’s in favor and more powerful they are the ones who make the determination. At one point the Irish, Italians, Germans, weren’t considered white, today we wouldn’t blink an eye at that. The entire European continent is more diverse then we classify it in modern times under blanket terms.
      I think the European continent is a example of multiculturalism can work, but as I said previously there is always conflict it has a lot more factors then just race.

    There's nothing racist about Mammy Two-Shoes. It's just a black lady speaking AAVE who owns a cat. I remember thinking as a kid that it was progressive of them to choose this black lady cat owner who's strong, independent, wise and owns a house. She was portrayed with a lot of respect I thought. The only racism I see is people calling her a racist character, making all these bizarre connections.

      Exactly, and knowing this is fiction, not reality, that logic didn't apply. I was still fully aware of the dark parts of history. The way I see it, it's racist to call it racist. If these characters' colours were changed it would suddenly be appropriate? In works which include talking animals and magic, a character's colour is the least of my concern. These characters are engaging in some comic violence, if anything, some of which may also be inappropriate by modern standards. (Apply kids' logic from South Park's flag episode.)

As for the crows, they are the first characters in the movie (other than the mouse) not to scorn Dumbo, and they helped him realize his full potential. And I loved that they were there at the end during his ‘victory ride’ on the train with his mama.

    "The cartoons you are about to see are products of their time. They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in the U.S. society. These depictions were wrong then and they are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros./Disney view of today’s society, these cartoons are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming that these prejudices never existed."

      The crows are interesting case. They are ever so slightly more subtle than some of these others. And, i think if we are completely honest with ourselves, we have to admit that while they are indeed racial caricatures, they aren't the most unkind variety of caricature compared to so many others.
      Disney long resisted editing that scene in the way they have so many of their others with racial caricatures in them. The piccaninnies in Fantasia were completely removed, for instance.
      Unfortunately for the Disney Company, it is hard to imagine that movie without the crows.
      But I've never been sold on the idea of cleaning up the past by editing this stuff out anyways. We don't remove the slave quarters from Washington's home so as to make it "family friendly" do we? We don't erase the slaves from old photographs of plantations so we can show them to our children without upsetting them. We don't remove the bridge in Selma Alabama because police beatings of black people fighting for their rights happened there? Why should Disney get to clean away its filth like it never happened?

    I remember seeing some Tom and Jerry episodes around 2012 I think on Boomerang and some of the episodes included Mammy Two Shoes before she stopped making any appearances. I didn’t know at the time that she was a racial caricature I always saw Mammy Two Shoes as Tom’s actual owner

      Agree, even when Tom, jerry and Spike did get a true owner couple i just thought it was a different timeline

      Same, when I saw the movie where Tom and Jerry actually talk to each other and saw the woman's legs when she's talking to someone about the house during the beginning of the movie, I was thinking "Who the heck was this?" ( it was the owner, I think, I just didn't understand who she was in the first place, that always confused me as a kid)

    It’s funny to me how long It generally takes to make animation, and the animators decided to use their time and money to make scenes and cartoons that haven’t aged well in the slightest.
