It has created so many dreams for people of all ages. Do you ever sit at the parks and watch the kids as they meet there favorite princess, or even if they are going on their favorite ride? The emotion behind their eyes and smile is priceless. If you really sit and think about it, what Walt did was incredible. To this day i’m still astounded and I know I always will be. He created hope, joy, and happiness in millions of peoples lives. I can never say it enough, thank you Walt.Again: Walt Disney was a raging anti-Semite and racist.Stop worshiping him like some sort of demigod, cause he isn’t, Actually, there is no actual proof that he was an anti-Semite and racist. In fact, one of his closest friends was Jewish! Herman “Kay” Kamen was the head of the Disney merchandise arm and a Jewish entrepreneur [x] He never openly expressed any hate against any racial group. Most people would point to “Song of the South” as proof, but he actually went through a lot of trouble to make sure that it was racially sensitive. He had various African Americans in the business to review the script [x].Don’t believe everything you hear about a person to be true.Giving him credit for starting a company that inspired the dreams of millions of people is not worshiping him like a demigod. He actually deserves this attention.Also, ad hominem attack: the qualities of the person do not have anything to do with the qualities of the ideas they put forth. And regardless, even if he ate babies for lunch, what his work has become has far outgrown what he could have possibly imagined.I would just like to say… oh snap!Don’t you EVER insult Walt Disney. Because we will BRING YOU DOWN.Despite Disney’s occasional slurs, there is no evidence that he expressed any hatred or bigotry against any racial group, publicly or privately, and he hired employees of all racial backgrounds, religions, and nationalities throughout his career.[x] You can read about the antisemitism as well. I believe that although he may have used racial slurs, that does not make him a racist person. I mean, I am adopted. I am black. My entire family and their family is white. My grandpa used to refer to soy sauce as “n- word sweat”. But that was during a time when, that word was more “freely” used. However, he was not a racist person. He treats me like any other one of my family members. So in the words of Naomi Campbell, “before you come talk to me, check your lipstick”. A lot of these statements of Walt being racist in any form come from propaganda created against him at a time he was battling with a surge of communists in the labor unions. Sadly I am on my phone and cannot link, but it is an easy part of history to google and find many sources. It’s amazing that a false message from that long ago is still widely believed today. Makes you wonder what else you wrongly accept as truth. -- source link
