i don't think people object to the song of the south cartoons so much as the 
presentation of the slaves in the feature film from which the cartoons come. 
They are shown as happy, contented "workers" -- not as slaves -- who sing on 
their way to the fields and on there way back to their "cabins." Their only 
concerns are the welfare of their masters, who in turn understand their 
"responsibilities" to care for these "simple folk.". This is not stereotyped. 
It is completely false.

I think some of us are confusing what is politically correct with what is 
right. Slavery was politically correct in the South until the 13th amendment. 
It was not right, however.
