These are frickin CARTOONS!!! What's next, being offended that a Coyote won't be friends with a Roadrunner?? That Scooby eats too fast and it's bad for a healthy diet...?? God. Oops! Can't say that, might offend someone!!

Forgetting the racism that happened back then is probably not the way to solve it.

Just look at Germany, they've banned speech about Nazi's to prevent them taking control again, but neo-Nazi crimes are at the highest rates ever.

Pretending there weren't racist cartoons back then does more harm than good.

LOONEY TUNES RELEASE THEIR SHORTS THAT HAD HISTORICAL CONTEXT & ARTISTIC VALUES THAT HAD OFFENSIVENESS & CERTAIN SCENES OF RACIAL STEREOTYPES. BUT THEY WENT ABOUT RELEASING THESE CARTOON SHORTS IN THE RIGHT WAY.
WARNER BROS. HAD A SPOKES PERSON (WHOOPIE GOLDBERG) TO SPEAK ON THE BEHALF OF THESE OFFENSIVE RACIAL STEREOTYPICAL CARTOON SHORTS. WARNER BROS GETTING A POWERFUL VOICE LIKE GOLDBERG TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE WAS A SMART MOVE. IT WORKED OUT FOR WARNER BROS.
