The RACIST History Of DISNEY · The conspiracy

0:00
Speaker 1: The book that I'm holding in my hand is the
0:02
Speaker 1: book that Disney doesn't want you to see. It was
0:04
Speaker 1: published in the nineteen thirties and it contains some of
0:06
Speaker 1: the most disturbing words and drawings that I've ever seen
0:10
Speaker 1: in anything Disney related, yet alone entertainment for children. In
0:13
Speaker 1: today's video, we're going to open this book up and
0:15
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't think this has ever been
0:17
Speaker 1: done on YouTube before, and we're also going to take
0:19
Speaker 1: a look at some other offensive Disney content that Disney
0:22
Speaker 1: has tried to erase from their company's history. This is
0:25
Speaker 1: the dark side of Disney, and just a fair warning,
0:28
Speaker 1: this episode is going to be incredibly offensive with some
0:31
Speaker 1: really really offensive content inside of it. But in my opinion,
0:34
Speaker 1: this is just insane that this isn't common knowledge that
0:36
Speaker 1: a company as large as Disney was doing these things
0:39
Speaker 1: back then. And when I first saw these books, I
0:41
Speaker 1: knew that I had to expose this stuff. So welcome
0:44
Speaker 1: to the Conspiracy Files. So I've talked about it in
0:52
Speaker 1: the past. I'm a huge history nerd and I love
0:55
Speaker 1: learning about history, whether it's the darker sides of history
0:58
Speaker 1: like we cover on this channel, or more per personal
1:00
Speaker 1: history like where did my family come from? What country
1:03
Speaker 1: did we originate it? Those are all things that I
1:04
Speaker 1: didn't really know before I signed up for my Heritage,
1:07
Speaker 1: And even though today's episode was sponsored by My Heritage,
1:10
Speaker 1: I have to say I do love the company, and
1:12
Speaker 1: they've shown me some really cool things about my own family.
1:15
Speaker 1: To build out a family tree on my Heritage, it's
1:17
Speaker 1: very easy. You just have to input some basic information
1:20
Speaker 1: about yourself. Right here, you can see I'm adding my picture,
1:23
Speaker 1: my name, getting that in there, and shortly afterwards, boom,
1:26
Speaker 1: there's your family tree. Now it's really interesting. You can
1:29
Speaker 1: see my mom and dad right there, and you come
1:30
Speaker 1: over here and I'm looking at members from my mother's
1:33
Speaker 1: side of the family that I didn't even know existed.
1:35
Speaker 1: Names I've never heard before. Siri Wold and Eric Hougan.
1:39
Speaker 1: I mean, when were these guys born and when did
1:41
Speaker 1: they die? And look at this Eric Ericson. My mother's
1:44
Speaker 1: name is Mary Ericson Brown, so this is really interesting.
1:46
Speaker 1: My great grandfather, obviously, he tied in nineteen thirty four,
1:50
Speaker 1: so I never met him. I know some people online
1:52
Speaker 1: have met their great grandparents, but it's so interesting. Look
1:55
Speaker 1: at children Edith Arthur, some Leonora, Eric, Norman, and FRIEDA.
1:59
Speaker 1: I didn't know that those were my grandfathers, brothers and sisters.
2:02
Speaker 1: These are things I'm finding out right now. Live. Something
2:05
Speaker 1: cool about my Heritage is that they have access to
2:07
Speaker 1: over twenty billion historical documents, So if you find your
2:10
Speaker 1: family members on there, you might find these documents that
2:13
Speaker 1: relate to your own family that you've never seen before.
2:15
Speaker 1: My Heritage also makes it very easy to add members
2:18
Speaker 1: to your family tree and discover new things about your
2:20
Speaker 1: family through instant discoveries. Like right here, I've got a
2:23
Speaker 1: couple instant discoveries right here. Some family members here that
2:26
Speaker 1: I've never really heard of before. Oh, there's my grandpa.
2:29
Speaker 1: He's actually there. It's a view of the discovery. Wow, yep,
2:32
Speaker 1: that's my grandfather right there. And Norman Erickson, he appears
2:35
Speaker 1: in a photo here on this website. I've never seen
2:37
Speaker 1: of him. I'm gonna check that and add that. Something
2:40
Speaker 1: else that's really cool as you can look through all
2:41
Speaker 1: these documents yourself, as you can see right here in
2:44
Speaker 1: the history of Trempalau County, Wisconsin of nineteen seventeen, this
2:48
Speaker 1: old article that's been scanned in here mentions my mother's
2:51
Speaker 1: uncle's uncle. I mean, how cool is that you can
2:53
Speaker 1: really dive into your family and discover who you are
2:55
Speaker 1: and where you came from through my heritage. You can
2:57
Speaker 1: also upload old photos. You can enhance them as you
3:00
Speaker 1: can see right here, which is super cool. Maybe you
3:03
Speaker 1: have some older pictures of older family members that you've
3:05
Speaker 1: never seen in color. I mean, just while look at
3:07
Speaker 1: the before and after of this picture. It just brings
3:09
Speaker 1: this stuff to life. I've been really enjoying my time
3:12
Speaker 1: on my heritage, building out my family tree, and I
3:14
Speaker 1: think that you will too. If you want to start
3:17
Speaker 1: researching your family history and building out your family treat,
3:20
Speaker 1: now is a great time to start. All you have
3:22
Speaker 1: to do is head to the link in the description
3:24
Speaker 1: of this video or in the pinned comment. It's my
3:26
Speaker 1: special link, and you can start setting up your family
3:28
Speaker 1: tree immediately. Once again, that's my heritage. Anyways, let's get
3:33
Speaker 1: back to today's story. So we all know Disney. I know
3:36
Speaker 1: as a kid, I grew up going to Disneyland and
3:38
Speaker 1: my family went to Disney World. I was actually just
3:41
Speaker 1: in Disneyland Paris a couple months ago when I was
3:44
Speaker 1: on my trip through Europe, and honestly, I loved it.
3:46
Speaker 1: I had a really good time there. We wrote on
3:48
Speaker 1: all the rides, I don't know what the proper term
3:50
Speaker 1: that is, wrote all the rides that are over there
3:53
Speaker 1: that are different, and I personally was looking forward to
3:55
Speaker 1: visiting Phantom Manor, which is the Paris version of the
3:59
Speaker 1: Haunted Mansion with a completely different storyline and everything. If
4:02
Speaker 1: you guys don't know, my main channel is about ghost hunting.
4:05
Speaker 1: So growing up, I was just obsessed with like the
4:07
Speaker 1: Haunted Mansion and the Tower of Terror, and I still
4:09
Speaker 1: love the Haunted Mansion. It's it just played such a
4:11
Speaker 1: big part in my childhood. We actually bought our house
4:14
Speaker 1: here in Texas this year and this was our first
4:17
Speaker 1: Halloween this year, so I decorated the house. My wife, Courtney,
4:21
Speaker 1: let me do the decorating for it, and I set
4:23
Speaker 1: up like a Haunted Mansion in our yard with these
4:25
Speaker 1: cutouts of the grim grin and ghosts, and like I
4:27
Speaker 1: was playing Hanted Mansion music. I really really love Haunted
4:30
Speaker 1: Mansion in the Tower of Terror. I know it's very
4:32
Speaker 1: nerdy to admit out loud, but it's true, and here
4:35
Speaker 1: we are, so let's just move on. But Disney has
4:37
Speaker 1: a very, very checkered past. We're not going to get into,
4:41
Speaker 1: you know, the modern kind of political struggles of Disney nowadays,
4:44
Speaker 1: but we're just gonna look at some of the things
4:46
Speaker 1: that have been published, not only in their printed works,
4:49
Speaker 1: but also in the films and television shows that they've
4:52
Speaker 1: created that would not fly today. For example, I remember
4:55
Speaker 1: watching a Disney cartoon that was in World War Two
4:59
Speaker 1: featuring Mickey Mouse and the Gang. I don't remember the
5:01
Speaker 1: exact circumstances, but I believe Donald Duck was emblazoned with
5:05
Speaker 1: ASSTKA and he was a night. Obviously, Whalt Disney was
5:09
Speaker 1: not like promoting Nazi Germany saying like it's a good thing.
5:12
Speaker 1: But stuff like that just would not fly nowadays, I
5:15
Speaker 1: don't think. And an interesting debate happened recently. I think
5:18
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years ago where Disney and
5:20
Speaker 1: the workers at Disney claimed that they were going to
5:22
Speaker 1: change the context around their snow White ride, saying that
5:25
Speaker 1: they were going to add in some terminology about the
5:27
Speaker 1: kiss between snow White and the Prince being consensual. And
5:31
Speaker 1: what started out as a single paragraph in an online
5:33
Speaker 1: review about this kiss turning consensual escalated into a symbol
5:37
Speaker 1: of the divide between traditional and progressive values in entertainment
5:41
Speaker 1: and in Disney. Obviously, Disney, as a dominant force in
5:43
Speaker 1: global media, faces scrutiny from all sides at all times.
5:47
Speaker 1: It's been accused of both perpetuating outdated, bigoted stereotypes and
5:51
Speaker 1: of embracing the woke agenda. But for their part, Disney
5:54
Speaker 1: more recently has worked their hardest, well, I don't know
5:57
Speaker 1: if you could say work their hardest, but they've done
5:59
Speaker 1: things to try remediate some of the racial stereotypes and
6:03
Speaker 1: things that they've perpetuated in the past. One thing that
6:05
Speaker 1: Disney's done recently is add disclaimers before films, like they
6:10
Speaker 1: put a disclaimer before the cartoon Dumbo because of the
6:13
Speaker 1: minstrel show inspired crows that are in that film, and
6:16
Speaker 1: also a disclaimer before Peter Pan, which clearly mocks the
6:19
Speaker 1: indigenous peoples of America and really the Globe. Disney, for
6:23
Speaker 1: their part, has opted to retain those films on their
6:26
Speaker 1: streaming platforms, but they added a little disclaimer saying, essentially,
6:29
Speaker 1: if you don't want to see this racist, don't watch
6:31
Speaker 1: this movie. Let's talk about some of Disney's past depictions
6:35
Speaker 1: of races in their characters. Some examples of very overly
6:39
Speaker 1: racist caricatures in Disney films include those jive talking crows
6:43
Speaker 1: in Dumbo, the ones who look like and act like
6:46
Speaker 1: what you would assume a minstrel show would be, the
6:48
Speaker 1: centaur in the film Fantasia, who is a subservient black character,
6:53
Speaker 1: and also the caricatured picaninnies in Peter Pan that's what
6:57
Speaker 1: they're called in the film Lady in the Tramp. Obviously,
6:59
Speaker 1: all so feature is that infamous Siamese cat bit that
7:03
Speaker 1: people still to this day are incredibly offended by. I
7:06
Speaker 1: think that that's the one that I see brought up
7:08
Speaker 1: the most with these examples is the Siamese cats singing
7:11
Speaker 1: their song in Lady in the Tramp. But the cartoon
7:14
Speaker 1: Aladdin also includes the scene with an Arab merchant who
7:17
Speaker 1: threatens to cut off Princess Jasmine's hand. All of these scenes,
7:21
Speaker 1: many people say, have no place in modern storytelling. You
7:24
Speaker 1: can find yourself wherever you want on this side of
7:27
Speaker 1: the debate, but it's clear that Disney has a very
7:30
Speaker 1: controversial pass that they've tried to remedy, even by turning
7:33
Speaker 1: Splash Mountain, which was based on a film song of
7:36
Speaker 1: the South with lots of racial over and undertones, and
7:40
Speaker 1: putting in its place Tiana's By You Adventure The Princess
7:43
Speaker 1: and the Frog Ride. I love The Princess and the
7:46
Speaker 1: Frog I think that's a great film. I was happy
7:48
Speaker 1: with the redo of the ride into that. I don't
7:50
Speaker 1: know why you would be stuck in your old ways
7:52
Speaker 1: and be so mad that they took out Splash Mountain.
7:54
Speaker 1: I mean, I grew up with it too, and I
7:55
Speaker 1: love Princess and the Frog. But let's go back a
7:58
Speaker 1: second talk about one of Disney's most controversial legacies, The
8:01
Speaker 1: Song of the South, a film criticized for its portrayal
8:04
Speaker 1: of happy slaves and its idyllic depiction of plantation life. Now,
8:09
Speaker 1: although the film Song of the South that Splash Mountain
8:12
Speaker 1: was based on was quietly removed from Disney's circulation and catalog,
8:16
Speaker 1: the Splash Mountain Ride remained themed around the film until recently.
8:20
Speaker 1: Like I just said, they turned it into a Princess
8:22
Speaker 1: and the Frog Ride. Similarly, rides like Pirates of the
8:25
Speaker 1: Caribbean and Jungle CRUs that the Disney Parks have undergone
8:28
Speaker 1: changes to remove offensive imagery, such as depictions like in
8:31
Speaker 1: pirates of the Caribbean, of women being auctioned off to
8:34
Speaker 1: rich men, and in the Jungle Cruise caricatures of African
8:38
Speaker 1: tribesmen trying to hunt down a white Safari guy. These
8:41
Speaker 1: efforts highlight Disney's ongoing attempts to modernize its content and
8:44
Speaker 1: park experiences. But still there are some dark, deep, dark
8:48
Speaker 1: skeletons in the Disney closet. And not only has Disney
8:52
Speaker 1: been you know, kind of racist with their films since
8:54
Speaker 1: shows and everything and even rides, There's also been controversies
8:58
Speaker 1: surrounding Disney princesses. Like I said at the beginning, issues
9:01
Speaker 1: like the content of Snow White, the outdated gender roles
9:04
Speaker 1: in Cinderella and also in The Little Mermaid. These are
9:07
Speaker 1: all conversations that people have in our modern culture. Now,
9:11
Speaker 1: you obviously can make up your mind about Disney what
9:14
Speaker 1: you think the films should be. Like, I know some
9:16
Speaker 1: people are going to watch this and absolutely hate Disney
9:19
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. I don't blame you for some
9:21
Speaker 1: of the terrible things that they've done in the past,
9:23
Speaker 1: But when I saw these items, I knew that I
9:26
Speaker 1: had to show this to you guys, because I just
9:28
Speaker 1: could not believe that these were real things that the
9:31
Speaker 1: Walt Disney Corporation essentially put their stamp of approval on.
9:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it's absolutely nuts. So let me know before
9:38
Speaker 1: we begin, what are your thoughts on Disney. Let me
9:40
Speaker 1: know your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below.
9:43
Speaker 1: I'm letting everybody make their own minds up on this subject,
9:46
Speaker 1: because I know it's a highly controversial thing, but I
9:49
Speaker 1: think that these skeletons in the closet definitely need to
9:51
Speaker 1: be addressed because all this stuff has just kind of
9:54
Speaker 1: been ignored and it's pretty pretty bizarre and really really bad.
9:58
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Thank you guys are ready for this.
10:01
Speaker 1: So the first thing that I have today I'm going
10:03
Speaker 1: to show you is this comic book that was released
10:06
Speaker 1: by a company called Dell Comics in collaboration obviously with Disney.
10:11
Speaker 1: And let's just show you kind of up close here.
10:14
Speaker 1: Just from the cover, you can tell that we are
10:16
Speaker 1: in for a shocking read here. I don't know exactly
10:20
Speaker 1: what year this was published in. Maybe my editor can
10:23
Speaker 1: look that up and put it on the screen right here,
10:26
Speaker 1: but yeah, this is issue number two sixty eight, Mickey
10:30
Speaker 1: Mouse's Surprise Visitor presented by Walt Disney. And you can
10:33
Speaker 1: see there's a very offensive caricature of an indigenous looking
10:39
Speaker 1: person on the cover. And I promise you when we
10:41
Speaker 1: actually dig into this thing, you're going to be shocked.
10:44
Speaker 1: So yeah, Essentially, in this storyline, Mickey Mouse is chilling
10:48
Speaker 1: at home and he receives a package which contains a
10:52
Speaker 1: live tribes person from I don't know if they can
10:56
Speaker 1: actually Oh it says right here from island someplace. Oh
11:02
Speaker 1: that's bad. From island to someplace by Africa. Dear Mickey Mouse,
11:06
Speaker 1: This not me. This my almost twin brother named Thursday.
11:10
Speaker 1: I send him to Yo to you for edumcation because
11:15
Speaker 1: he need him background polished. You keep rest of bananas
11:18
Speaker 1: for pay. Goodie, goodbye. I see you never Friday. So
11:23
Speaker 1: you can see that writing and this kind of stereotype
11:25
Speaker 1: of that. But that's crazy. So apparently this little guy
11:28
Speaker 1: came from Africa to Mickey's place or an island at
11:31
Speaker 1: near Africa. And as you can see, the stereotyped character
11:34
Speaker 1: just speaks in grunts like booch go blug, sniff sniff, sniff, sniff, glube,
11:40
Speaker 1: and I mean you can just tell, I mean, like,
11:42
Speaker 1: look at he's trying to kill Pluto right here, hey stop,
11:47
Speaker 1: And then up here he's actually and this is insane.
11:50
Speaker 1: This guy is trying to boil Pluto alive. He's trying
11:54
Speaker 1: to boil Pluto. Holy shit. I actually I haven't even
11:57
Speaker 1: I haven't read this full fig That is insane. So yeah,
12:00
Speaker 1: you can see like they're worshiping Mickey Mouse. There's just
12:04
Speaker 1: tons of stereotypes throughout this comic book and all of
12:08
Speaker 1: the pages. It's kind of unbelievable even just look at
12:11
Speaker 1: the way that this character is dressed and their hairstyle
12:14
Speaker 1: and everything. The fact that they don't speak English and
12:17
Speaker 1: they're terrorizing Mickey Mouse and almost worshiping Mickey Mouse and
12:21
Speaker 1: doing all these things like trying to steal chickens. I'd mean, seriously,
12:25
Speaker 1: how insane is this whole thing? You can see? Then
12:27
Speaker 1: he terrorizes the rich of course, white diners, so you
12:33
Speaker 1: can see there's no diners of color at this sophisticated
12:36
Speaker 1: elite table that this African is terrorizing. Oh and then
12:40
Speaker 1: we get a caricature of an indigenous person as well. Right,
12:44
Speaker 1: there might as well double down and go two for
12:47
Speaker 1: two in this comic book. So yeah, essentially, I don't
12:50
Speaker 1: know why I'm going through all this. This is a
12:52
Speaker 1: very long story, but essentially, this African tribesman from Africa
12:57
Speaker 1: terrorizes Mickey Mouse and then at the very end, and
13:00
Speaker 1: we get a little bit more of that racial illustration.
13:06
Speaker 1: As you can see, I'm assuming that this band is
13:08
Speaker 1: supposed to be made up of black people like the tribesmen.
13:12
Speaker 1: That's just oh, oh, I did not see that one.
13:17
Speaker 1: Oh my god, guys, look at that text bubble. I'm
13:22
Speaker 1: not going to read that a looud. Holy I did
13:26
Speaker 1: not read that far. That is insane that they have
13:29
Speaker 1: that in there. Yeah, I've never seen this, this comic
13:31
Speaker 1: strip mentioned. Oh then you got the tribesmen playing with
13:34
Speaker 1: an elephant, of course, and what ends up happening, Oh,
13:38
Speaker 1: there you go a totem pole for goofy at the
13:41
Speaker 1: very end, sacred totem of West African tribe. So this
13:46
Speaker 1: tribesman is supposed to be from West Africa, and that's
13:49
Speaker 1: how Disney decided they were going to profile this tribesman.
13:53
Speaker 1: So that's really insane and I've never seen anyone talk
13:56
Speaker 1: about that before. But it's not even close to the end.
13:59
Speaker 1: So now we move move on to our second book,
14:01
Speaker 1: and it's gonna make fun of, essentially and caricature another
14:05
Speaker 1: race in a very offensive way. This is the Mickey
14:08
Speaker 1: Mouse Annual from the year nineteen thirty eight. So these
14:11
Speaker 1: books would come out every year, and this was back
14:13
Speaker 1: when Mickey was a comic book star and a guy
14:16
Speaker 1: that was really at the time more living on paper
14:19
Speaker 1: than in films. So these things were really popular and
14:21
Speaker 1: they would come out every year. They're really thick, you
14:23
Speaker 1: can see right here. They're very thick, and they're filled
14:26
Speaker 1: with lots of comic goodies, very thick pages too. This
14:31
Speaker 1: book's from nineteen thirty eight. I wonder who was reading
14:34
Speaker 1: this when they were a kid. But the story that
14:36
Speaker 1: we are interested in this book, oh right here, this
14:40
Speaker 1: one called Aladdin, our annual potty Panto. Once upon a
14:44
Speaker 1: time when the Great Wall of China was still a
14:46
Speaker 1: wooden fence, a poor Chinese widow by the name of
14:49
Speaker 1: who Ishi sat down on the cold hard floor of
14:52
Speaker 1: her tumble down hovel, telling the world and her ragged son.
14:55
Speaker 1: And you can see right there, Mickey a tale of woe.
15:00
Speaker 1: I feel bad pronouncing these names. I don't want to
15:02
Speaker 1: come across as someone who like endorses this stuff at all.
15:06
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to expose this from what Disney did.
15:09
Speaker 1: But I mean, look at you can see Princess. There's
15:11
Speaker 1: Asian stereotypes just in the spelling here, Princess Mini Huishi, Genie, Goofy,
15:17
Speaker 1: Mickey dopy Don, and they're all portrayed with these stereotypes.
15:23
Speaker 1: As you can see right here, Mickey with the kimono,
15:26
Speaker 1: all of these Asian stereotypes. All of the characters are
15:30
Speaker 1: doing what I'm assuming Walt Disney and his artists at
15:32
Speaker 1: the time thought were Asian quote unquote things to do,
15:36
Speaker 1: even like right here at the bottom of the lane,
15:38
Speaker 1: Mickey stopped to rest another Chinese custom. And if you
15:41
Speaker 1: actually read some of these words, just the way that
15:44
Speaker 1: they're presenting this story and making these characters talk is
15:48
Speaker 1: really offensive. And I thought that this was just crazy.
15:51
Speaker 1: You got Donald Duck attacking Mickey with the firecracker, Donald
15:55
Speaker 1: Duck and Mickey working together, blowing holes in rocks, and
15:59
Speaker 1: it seems like they're doing some mining, even just these
16:02
Speaker 1: little lines. What do I get for digging you out?
16:04
Speaker 1: He said, in the usual Chinese way. What does that mean? Walt?
16:08
Speaker 1: Of course they got a magic lamp storyline in here,
16:11
Speaker 1: because it's a Laddin. I guess you got Mickey with
16:15
Speaker 1: his wares here. He's got castro oil, toothpaste, soap, a
16:20
Speaker 1: razor and yeah, there's just a lot of racial rhetoric
16:24
Speaker 1: in this story, and just these illustrations are like, I mean,
16:27
Speaker 1: it's just hard to believe that these things were published.
16:31
Speaker 1: It even says Mickey wanted to be a torch bearer,
16:34
Speaker 1: so the Marshall took him to the Great Chief, who,
16:36
Speaker 1: being Chinese and noticing Mickey's magnificent torch, gave him a
16:40
Speaker 1: job right away. And so Minnie was walking around the
16:44
Speaker 1: palace shouting in a pleasant Chinese voice, choklits, chiegrets, I
16:50
Speaker 1: don't know. Oh, cigarettes, of course, it's nineteen thirty eight.
16:55
Speaker 1: Mickey Minnie Mouse is selling cigarettes in this thing. She's
16:58
Speaker 1: selling choklits and cigarettes. Mini Mouse hawking cigarettes. That's crazy.
17:05
Speaker 1: This whole thing is crazy. It's very racist, and I
17:07
Speaker 1: don't support any of this. But that's just one story
17:09
Speaker 1: of the Mickey Mouse Annual nineteen thirty eight. I'm sure
17:12
Speaker 1: that there are more in that book that you could
17:14
Speaker 1: take out and analyze. But now we get to the
17:18
Speaker 1: big bad Boy. The book Disney would prefer you never see.
17:22
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they don't want anybody seeing any of those.
17:24
Speaker 1: But this has got to be the craziest thing I've
17:27
Speaker 1: ever laid my eyes on when dealing with Walt Disney
17:30
Speaker 1: related materials. So this is that same Mickey Mouse Annual,
17:34
Speaker 1: except this one is from nineteen thirty two, and this
17:37
Speaker 1: could be the most infamous thing that Disney has ever published. Now,
17:41
Speaker 1: it should be noted that this was published in a
17:43
Speaker 1: foreign country. It was published in England. I don't think
17:46
Speaker 1: they published it in America. But I've seen online some
17:49
Speaker 1: people talking about this, saying that Disney didn't know and
17:51
Speaker 1: blah blah, they had no idea, but he knew. Let's
17:54
Speaker 1: take a look at this thing's books from nineteen thirty
17:56
Speaker 1: it's almost one hundred years old. Here you go the
17:58
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse Annual Covent Garden in London. And then let's
18:02
Speaker 1: see actually right here to swash that argument, produced with
18:07
Speaker 1: the consent of Walter E. Disney. So Walt looked at
18:12
Speaker 1: this whole book, he papered through it, I'm assuming back then,
18:15
Speaker 1: and he approved of this and consented to this being
18:19
Speaker 1: published using a fishly licensed Mickey and Minnie Mouse unleus.
18:24
Speaker 1: We got to flip the page to the first story,
18:27
Speaker 1: called a black outlook a rhyming record of a ramble round.
18:33
Speaker 1: So in this story, Mickey and Minnie Mouse are fishing
18:37
Speaker 1: and they are attacked by a group of tribes people
18:42
Speaker 1: aka black people. Let's just take a look at that
18:45
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, fishing proved futile, but hunger intense kept
18:49
Speaker 1: both our friends and the worm in suspense, quite unsuspecting
18:52
Speaker 1: that danger was near. Many felt somebody pulling her ear.
18:56
Speaker 1: So it's a rhyming story. This story is all about rhymes.
19:00
Speaker 1: But Mickey turned round and received such a fright, shut
19:04
Speaker 1: both his eyes and dived clean out of sight. Yep,
19:07
Speaker 1: do you see that word right there? That word that's
19:11
Speaker 1: actually printed on that page in a Disney book. N
19:15
Speaker 1: words or Minnie could nowhere be found when Mickey bobbed
19:18
Speaker 1: up and began to look round. So notice how they
19:21
Speaker 1: just gloss over the use of that word. And here
19:25
Speaker 1: he is up here snatching Mini. Also, you've got this
19:28
Speaker 1: caricature of what looks to be either a monkey or
19:31
Speaker 1: a black person in a tree. I know this is offensive, guys,
19:34
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really I'm just trying to expose that this
19:37
Speaker 1: was actually published, and I really want people to know
19:40
Speaker 1: I am not condoning this in any sense. I feel
19:43
Speaker 1: like this is stuff that people need to see and
19:44
Speaker 1: learn about because it shows like what America was really
19:47
Speaker 1: like back then, the dangers of allowing these things, you
19:50
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Even right here again, here's Minnie
19:53
Speaker 1: being taken by the black people. Poor little Minnie, her
19:56
Speaker 1: future obscure, wondered how long these fears N words would
20:01
Speaker 1: chew her. Once again, that is a real use of
20:06
Speaker 1: the N word in a Disney published book. When they
20:09
Speaker 1: arrived at the place where they stay, out came the king.
20:11
Speaker 1: So the N words made way. I mean, I have
20:14
Speaker 1: no words to describe this book. This is like insanity.
20:18
Speaker 1: So they've abducted Minnie and they're probably going to cannibalize her.
20:23
Speaker 1: Based on the context of this story, Mickey comes to
20:26
Speaker 1: try to save her. There is a early next morning
20:30
Speaker 1: the N words walked by suddenly, just like a bolt
20:33
Speaker 1: from the sky. So here's another racist depiction, and yet
20:37
Speaker 1: another very very racist depiction very soon after poor Minnie
20:42
Speaker 1: was free lucky escape. You'll surely agree soon with the gurgle,
20:46
Speaker 1: grunt and a groan, the n words discovered the birdie
20:49
Speaker 1: had flown. Hearing those noises made Mickey look back and
20:53
Speaker 1: find that those n words were not on the track,
20:57
Speaker 1: and uh, Mickey and Minnie escaped the cannibals in a
21:01
Speaker 1: pelican's beak. How crazy is that, guys? That's Walt Disney
21:06
Speaker 1: Company consenting to the publishing of that book multiple books
21:09
Speaker 1: actually in comics which contain hard the hardest core racial
21:15
Speaker 1: slur you can actually even say out loud, let alone
21:18
Speaker 1: print multiple times, and coupled the word coupled with those
21:23
Speaker 1: extremely offensive stereotypical characterizations and illustrations. And that's just in
21:28
Speaker 1: one book. Then you got the other book we looked
21:30
Speaker 1: at with the you know, Asian caricature stereotype Mickey and Friends.
21:34
Speaker 1: They even touch on whether it's indigenous counted as indigenous
21:38
Speaker 1: or you know, an African tribesman, another cannibal type figure
21:42
Speaker 1: that taunted Mickey and the gang, And then they even
21:45
Speaker 1: threw a straight shot at just a random black musician
21:48
Speaker 1: in that comic book with that speech bubble. Is absolutely insane.
21:51
Speaker 1: But these are things, These are the history of these
21:53
Speaker 1: major companies. People. There are so many companies, so many
21:56
Speaker 1: production companies, so many studios that work in Hollywood globally,
22:00
Speaker 1: So many of these you know, entertainment platforms or even
22:04
Speaker 1: news platforms that claim that they've gone, you know, so progressive,
22:08
Speaker 1: and yet you look at their back catalog and you're
22:10
Speaker 1: absolutely flabbergasted that this sort of filth would actually be
22:15
Speaker 1: published back then and disseminated to people. I know that
22:18
Speaker 1: it's historically like a symptom of the times, but it's
22:21
Speaker 1: really really hard to believe that there's actually a book
22:24
Speaker 1: out there with Mickey Mouse multiple times fighting with black people,
22:28
Speaker 1: the N word being just tossed around so casually. It's
22:31
Speaker 1: it's got to be one of the craziest things I've
22:33
Speaker 1: ever seen. So I wanted to make a video about it.
22:36
Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys were here for that, and I'm
22:38
Speaker 1: sorry you had to see that, But I don't even
22:40
Speaker 1: know what the point of this video is. I just
22:42
Speaker 1: felt like that was so insane. I felt like that's
22:43
Speaker 1: a dark secret that Disney was trying to keep hidden
22:46
Speaker 1: and that nobody knew about all these you know, things
22:49
Speaker 1: that have been brought up about Disney in the past,
22:51
Speaker 1: and they've never apologized for things like that. Awareness we
22:54
Speaker 1: just need to learn our history people. We need to
22:56
Speaker 1: know where we came from, the wrong things that we
22:58
Speaker 1: did in history and tempt to correct those wrongs as
23:01
Speaker 1: we move forward into the future. But share this video around,
23:05
Speaker 1: especially if you have a Disney fan in your life.
23:07
Speaker 1: If you want to shock them, I would send them
23:09
Speaker 1: this video because that is some of the craziest you've
23:12
Speaker 1: ever seen. Anyways, I'll be back with another video very soon.
23:16
Speaker 1: This is very different than my usual content here. We
23:18
Speaker 1: do expose a lot of stuff on this channel, but
23:20
Speaker 1: not in this sort of a way. I just thought
23:22
Speaker 1: this was crazy and had to share. But yeah, thank
23:25
Speaker 1: you guys for watching. As always, keep that tinfoil head on,
23:28
Speaker 1: stay suspicious, and I'll catch y'all on the next one.
