That movie was so racist. Uncle Remus talked different, and was the wisest and most beloved man in town. We need to get away from those stereotypes.

Nope. But pussy little bitches who want to be offended by everything will do whatever they can to try to make something raysis.

Ergo, the monkeys and their speech patterns and mannerisms be raysis.

You better buy physical copies of any old movies you like RIGHT NOW.

In the next few years, there is a 100% chance they will either be completely pulled from distribution or post-edited to remove any "sensitive content." Mass insanity.


I have the full Disney collection in a beautiful booked set on Blu-ray. Every animated movie they did from Snow White to moana. Good enough for me. Odds are I won’t care about anything made after that. This will be passed down to my kids. I also have original VHS at my parents house. Just because at this point I really don’t care to get rid of them. They’re nice pieces of memorabilia that don’t exist anymore.

Louis Prima was 100% Sicilian ancestry, born in New Orleans.

He was a swinging jazz cat.


Disney originally wanted Louis armstrong to play king Louis. They went with prima because they didn’t want to seem racist by having an African American play an orangutan back in the 60s. So they picked the second most famous jazz musician named Louis. That’s why Louis prima got the role. And people don’t realize that’s what New Orleans people talked like. Louis prima isn’t doing a caricature. He’s doing himself. As usual people totally ignore the rest of the context.

An Italian guy providing the voice for an orangutan moving like an orangutan, and all this is happening in India is racist against who?

The monkeys were lead by king Louie. Voiced by Louie Prima...an Italian from New Orleans who was the leader of a godamn swing band. He sounds like a lot of older Italian guys from New Orleans.

Louie is an Ape with poor linguistic skills compared to others. He sings about wanting to be like others, etc.

In other words, bull crap


Louie was played by Louie Prima, an Italian from New Orleans. Let me tell you, I’m proud of Mr. Prima and his role in the Jungle Book.

Typical Democrats.

See a monkey. Immediately associate it with Black People. Call someone else who never made this connection racist.

Typical Democrats

A white man from New Orleans voices a monkey character in a movie. Dems declare its racist because obviously the stupid monkey is a black person because of how stupid black people are. Proceed to claim they’re not racist but everyone else is.
