Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / February 2006Way back machine O.T.
When I was 5 years old I must have watched the "Song of the South" Disney movie a dozen times. It has never been released on video because some think it's not PC for showing a blissful picture of plantation life, but as a kid, that did not come across and still does not. I was able to buy a Chinese knock off on ebay to share with my son and he too enjoyed it. Rumor has it Disney may release it with a disclaimer on it's 60th anniversary in 2007.

John Song of the South was released years ago for distribution in Europe. I have an unedited copy that made it's way from Europe to Canada and then reformated to (60htz or whatevever works with our players) and the quality is superb. I saw this movie when I was a kid and I wanted my grandchildren to see it which they have and the really enjoyed it. I don't know what in hell any race, black or white would have against this movie. If anything thing,it would belay some misconceptions, but what the hey; I don't know everything.

No more cannibal cartoons, no more Bugs vs. Hitler cartoons because of nazi symbols. Which brings up this thought, can you imagine a writer trying to pass off the Hogan's Heroes show today?

The swastika is NOT Hitlers doings, but he destroryed its meaning and will never be used again. Below is some history for folks. This is one of the oldest symbols in Indian Art. Swastikas are carved into the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia Museum of Art and many ancient Buddhist and Mayan temples. At Albuquerque's KiMo Theater, built in 1927 and recently restored, swastikas adorn the proscenium, entryway and the building's exterior. Elsewhere in New Mexico, they are evident in the architecture of the Shafer Hotel in Mountainair and the Swastika Hotel in Raton (now the International Bank). One of the oldest symbols made by humans, the swastika dates back some 6,000 years to rock and cave paintings. Scholars generally agree it originated in India. With the emergence of the Sanskrit language came the term "swastika", a combination of "su", or good, and "asti", to be; in other words, well-being. In 1940, in response to Hitler's regime, the Navajo, Papago, Apache and Hopi people signed a whirling log proclamation. It read, "Because the above ornament, which has been a symbol of friendship among our forefathers for many centuries, has been desecrated recently by another nation of peoples, therefore it is resolved that henceforth from this date on and forever more our tribes renounce the use of the emblem commonly known today as the swastika . . . on our blankets, baskets, art objects, sand paintings and clothing." > Same as having to buy the Warner Brother DVD set of Looney Tunes to see some > of the "banned" Bugs Bunny episodes.

Let us hope that someday the bloody hammer & sickle will be as universally reviled as the hakenkruetz or swastika now is. > Its a shame that people have to take a word and twist it too their own > meaning and use.

It's the same problem that some people have with Tom Sawyer and Huck Fin stories, the 'racist language' (in other words, the language used which was appropriate and correct for the time in which the stories were set) and, in some cases, (deep south) the portrayal of a 'white' person being friendly to a 'person of color' or treating them as an equal. I can sort of ermember seeing the movie once (can't remember when but I think it was on T.V.) and all I can remember of it is the song "Zippidy-Do-Da" and liking it. > John > Song of the South was released years ago for distribution in Europe.
