Lol... you can tell the youngsters here. They started editing out the racist aspects of the old Warner Bros. and MGM cartoons in recent years. When I used to watch them coming up, all the way until my teens I believe, they showed them unedited.

It used to offend me a bit, but I don't think they should've ever edited them. Let kids see this nation's racist past.

There was a ton of Tom & Jerry cartoons with the recurring character of an overweight black nanny whose face they never showed and she was always yelling at Tom with a country black dialect. Now they've turned her into a slim white woman and voiced her over.

They used to have some really racist cartoons about American Indians too. They were always portrayed as dumb and bumbling and were antagonists.

I'm sad to say this was one of my all time favorite Tom and Jerry scenes smh

I was born in 1985 and the blackface gags were present in the cartoons well into the late 90s. This particular gag was edited out in 2001. Another victim of the censors; gun gags like this......



It was used more than once but this is the only version I could find.

I remember a Droopy cartoon where Spike set a cabin on fire and yelled out 'help' like a chick in distress so Droopy could go inside and get burned up. Droopy came outta nowhere, ran inside then ran out with a PAWG...had Spike like

So Spike runs in the burning cabin, tryna see if he could get a PAWG too....and the shyt quickly burns to the ground with him inside, leaving him standing there all black with big lips like you described. Droopy comes running back, goes to him and says "Hey, blackie.....got any more babes in there?"

LMAO, even as a kid that shyt had me like :sayword:

I'm not suprise that in 1941, that's how we were portrayed in cartoons.

I'm disgusted inn 2012, we're trolling our own stereotypes at an alarming rate.

I remember this shyt growing up. I was born in 1983 so this was definitely still prevalent when I was a kid.

 

[superunknown23]

Those are the only versions that I remember watching.
I guess I was too old by the time they censored it.
