So let me ask you a question. A couple weeks ago Disney Plus permit. Two days later people were thrown a Fitz. What do you want them to do to go back and take all this shit out of their own movies? Well that's a good question. Is that what you want? Do you ever go to Disneyland? You know that one ride? What is it? Splash Mountain? Yes. That Splash Mountain ride is based on a movie that you can't even watch anymore. It was a really racist movie. Well Disney was racist, was he not? I don't know. Somebody said Disney. I don't know. I don't know. I have time to fucking go. But this Splash Mountain was... This is called the Song of the South. That was the movie. And from what year is that Jamie? Uhh, 1946. 1946. Bro, people were different animals back then. We're not even the same species. What about the lady who sang the National Anthem at the Yankees? Somebody found out that 30 years before that. You didn't know about that? No. You gotta look this up. She sang songs that were like totally racist. Like spooky get out of town. Like shit, like just please look it up right now. She sang the National Anthem? Right now. So two ball fields took her version of the National Anthem down. You had to read the shit she was here. Kate Smith's God Bless America out at Yankee Stadium over racist songs. Listen to the song she sang. Who's Kate Smith? Some fucking fat chick from 1920. 1931 song? Yeah, that's why darkies were born. Wait a minute. She sang this in 1931? Yeah. How old is this bitch? Is she still alive? It's like the recording of God Bless America from back then. That they used to just play during the movie. Right, she sang that. But when did she... When did she record it? 1930 something. But when did she sing the National Anthem? No, no, it's the God Bless America is what they're talking about here. But they can't. Okay, but when did she sing God Bless America? 1929, 1930 something. I don't know. Back then. But she also sang a song called That's Why Darkies Were Born. I was confused. I was thinking that you were saying that she sang it at the stadium. Listen to the lyrics. Someone had to pick cotton, someone had to pick the corn, someone had to be a slave, and somebody had to sing. That's why darkies were born. That, you know, I mean all these things you have to... The song which has been called the satirical take on racism was a big hit for Smith and also was recorded by Paul Robeson. Hmm. So she wrote and sang God Bless America. So the version that you would hear, like God Bless America. She sang it. So recorded it. So the version that you would hear would be back then. Right. See, that's why she gets weird. You know, there's been a lot of great people over the years that have had some horrible ideas. So you have to wonder, like if we just cut out the guy... I mean, how many different people who have invented incredible things that we use all the time were also really shitty human beings? You
