Banned Cartoons

I make no secret of the fact that i am a Grandmother, in fact a great grandmother as well. The other day while the kids were watching "Baby Einstein" dvd's for the umpteenth time, I decided to find some of the old cartoons from my childhood to share with them. Imagine my surprise when I find out that all of my favorites are now BANNED! Thats right, they are now politically incorrect. With titles such as: Popeye's "Your a sap,Mr. Jap." WWll's Disney offering "Der Fuhrer's face." Bugs Bunny's "Tokio-Jokio." Tex Avery's "Red hot riding hood" Sylvester & Tweety "Satan's waitin" ...and the list goes on. My personal fav "Little black Sambo" is an absolute no-no. A whole generation was raised on these cartoons, that seemed to be nothing but political. I can see now how so many people from my generation are racist. It was drilled into our lil heads in the form of entertainment. I do not condone them being banned though. Sadly so much of our early history was so bad, the powers that be don't see fit to let parents decide what to expose (or not) their children to. I would like to think i have enough sense to let my older kids watch them, without them becoming skinheads, gay bashers, or racist. This really pisses me off that the Government feels a need to police freeking cartoons. It scares me as to what may be next.
