Amazon adds Tom & Jerry to its online streaming service – but warns of racism

[Ed Anger]

There are certain cartoons that were deemed so racist that they weren't in in the Golden Collection; most notably "The Censored Eleven.':

The Wiki article says that Warner Brothers was planning to release them as their own disc; but as far as I know that hasn't happened yet.

(Of course you can find them all on YouTube.)

Ed would tap Coal Black's ass for all dat molasses.

Racism hell, let's talk about speciesism, and how these kinds of cartoons for decades not only reinforced centuries' worth of negative stereotypes of cats in the Western world, but the portrayal of mice as the "good guys"--the destroyer of crops and the historical carriers of plague and other maladies for both man and livestock. 

So fuck Jerry and his mouse hole with its little Roman archway.

Wasn't that cat (did she have a name) that was a target of pepe le pew sort of a good guy? I mean she had to withstand the advances of a sexcrazed stalker.

[derspiess]

Yeah.  But she was mostly just a mute sympathetic victim who had an unfortunate tendency to to get white paint on her in the form of a perfect stripe.

And of course I always loved the drunk cats from that one Porky Pig cartoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vrIlTs1IQY
