I have posted a video above of a clip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a Disney
classic in which characters from different Disney shows and movies finally get
to interact. This was a fun movie for people because a lot of their favorite
characters were in one movie, it is an action filled detective story and of
course that inevitable love story, but that is not the main point here! The
main point is one of Disney’s most famous characters is wearing a Nazi uniform
and saying the N-Word.
Donald has always been a very fiery character; his random
outburst of anger is what makes the audience laugh. But how far is too far?
When a Disney character starts saying derogatory words, that’s usually a sign
that it’s gone too far. This kind of language and behavior from Donald Duck is encouraging
racism and violence with the swastika and N-Word displayed. What Disney is
saying by doing this sort of thing is, “It’s no big deal to be mean to people
and say offensive words,” and it’s not. Children look up to and follow Disney
characters.
When children hear things like what Donald Duck said, it
makes them think that it is okay to say that. If you’ve ever been around a
toddler you know they REPEAT EVERYTHING. Children mock what they see and hear,
especially when it comes to something that they admire and always want to watch
i.e. Disney shows. This kind of language can even then be taken to school with
the child, and because they think it is alright to say such things, they may
use that type of language with their friends and hurt someone’s feelings, or
even become suspended. Disney is setting a bad example with the subliminal
messages that they put in their movies and shows. It is supposed to be about
the children and providing good, influential, PG entertainment.
Disney is suppose to be a teacher and example setter for its
audience, but it seems that Disney is not so concerned about the well being of
their young audience. If Disney were concerned, there wouldn’t be so many
subliminal messages in their material, especially racist and sexual ones. Of
course this is not the first time that Disney has used Nazi material in their
films, “Wayward Canary,” also had a swastika displayed in it.
This has gone absolutely too far! There is no reason for
Disney to still be up and running with all of the horrible things that they
have allowed in their films. It’s a definite problem when you can point out more
than one racist or sexual thing in films that are geared towards children. This
needs to stop, and it is ultimately up to the parents; who are the consumers of
Disney products. How can you allow an obviously perverted and racist company to
continue to exist without any consequences? Your children are involved, and
they learn from what they see, and Disney is showing them how to a hateful
person.
