"Like Felix, Bimbo, Oswald, most of the animated film characters who preceded him, Mickey had a black body and head, large white eyeballs, and a white area around the mouth — all characteristic of African Americans as portrayed stereotypically in cartoons, illustrations, and advertising of the time and based on the image of minstrel show performers in black face. When white gloves were added, Mickey moved even closer to his sources."
They already cancelled mickey though. It's a little late for that. It happened a few years ago, went after mickey for the old black and white cartoons for racism. Disney tucks mickey away every chance they get now.
I hate to see it. The mickey mouse and donald duck foreign comics are amazing and Disney isn't bringing them into the us on purpose. They have no problem making money everywhere else in the world with them though.
This is a great idea. We have to encourage them to take it way too far. Putting disney between a rock and a hard place would be icing on the cake. We have to brainstorm.

This is it. Gotta get 4 Chan on it like they did with the Ok hand sign
Go after Donald Duck. Many WW2 propaganda films exist that were made by Disney where Donald is literally a Nazi.
I watched that one last week! It was amazing. He wasn't a nazi, he was a factory laborer being pushed by nazis. Minor nitpick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn20oXFrxxg&t=2s
fuck yeah -- that would be some epic 4Chan prank shit! Let's get on that -- seriously -- meme the fuck out of this!

I know people who wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if the Disney empire fell. I’d love to see it actually.
