They're Not Erasing Racism. They are Erasing America

If you’re a Disney or former Disney enthusiast, you’ve likely heard about the changing of beloved Splash Mountain into a Princess and the Frog themed log ride. The rumor is that this ride is being remade because the movie on which it is based, Song of the South, featured a Black man in a racist manner.

So, I watched the movie. I haven’t seen it since I was a child, couldn’t remember it, and therefore, wanted to see if it was indeed racist. I expected N words a plenty and perhaps a whip or two. I saw neither.

What I saw was a Black, respected elder helping a White child deal with separation from his father through storytelling and friendship. I also saw an old, historical setting-a south still reeling from the rigors of the Civil War and not yet reconstructed. There is a tension in the film that dare not speak its name, and the Black elder Uncle Remus was the release valve on that tension, a gentle soul that soothed all others.

I also saw scores of Black Americans who, though free, chose to stay on the plantation of their former owner. Why would they do that if Whites were such demons? I’ll leave you to answer that question for yourself, dear reader- it’s likely one of many answers the elites want hidden from us.

So, if this film-like military bases, pancakes, and butter- isn’t racist, then what is it?

From what I can tell, it is a piece of America, a portal to the past that the elites want sealed. They don’t want us to know that, even then, Blacks were successful, respected, or maybe even liked by Whites and vice versa. They also don’t want us knowing that not all Whites were demons, but perhaps they too were struggling to make it through an imperfect world.

I mentioned in another post that there is always a “why” behind things, and that the real “why” may not be immediately obvious. The official “why” behind Splash Mountain’s closing is racism. In this matter, as in others, it seems there is more to it than that.

Could it be because of communism?

Communist philosophy always unmakes a society so a new one can be rebuilt in Marx’s dark image, one in which the red sickle can harvest its dark fruits of death and destruction. Given everything going on around us, this seems a more plausible explanation.

I don’t know if the new ride will be as enjoyable as Splash Mountain was. The Princess and the Frog is my favorite Disney movie, so I’m optimistic about its opening.

I’m just pessimistic about the reason the original ride was closed.
