Agreed, hes not exactly clean from wrongdoing but based on the wiki i dont think he was hatefull.
The controversy was a shock to Walter Lantz, who prided himself on avoiding problems with the censors. He repeatedly stated that his cartoons were never meant to offend anyone. After the 1949 decision, Lantz made a major effort to exclude any offensive caricatures of racial or ethnic groups in his cartoons. He also promised that Scrub Me Mama would never be distributed on television; however, according to eyewitness accounts, the short was broadcast on TV during the 1950s and continued to be seen as late as the 1980s.
We are going to need a proper conversation about this. People can act a certain way without completly
being that way. All racist behavior is bad but I personally draw a line at do they actually carry hate or disdain. Some people are just ignorant and others nondiscriminatory don’t care about anyone thats not themselves which ain’t good either but still not Fascist.
He’s a product of his time, his ignorance isn’t excusable and he isn’t around anymore so who cares about him or his legacy and creations. He’s racist, he made racist cartoons and we don’t need him or his ilk anymore so move on from them or defending them.
No one is truly black or white. Where all complex and layered individuals.
Racists/facist are people who hate others.
Hate is the emotion that makes people want to hurt or even kill when given the chance.
Everyone can act racist, even you. Especially when this is normalized in your surroundings you may never even realize it is racist. The majority of such people can be helped with better education making them aware of the suffering that systematic stereotypes cause.
Real racists don’t because they already know. their intention is to hurt. The only way to fix them is with vast therapy.
Personally i am a far left anarchist.
No masters, no slaves, no violence and no borders is my ethos. But if i start calling everyone who is simply worried about immigration a fascist then, i am quickly going to end up with no one to collaborate with.

Direct your attention to @flyingsquid’s second reply above.
No we don’t need a conversation.
He’s a product of his time, his ignorance isn’t excusable and he isn’t around anymore so who cares about him or his legacy and creations. He’s racist, he made racist cartoons and we don’t need him or his ilk anymore so move on from them or defending them.
Not about him no but in general we do.
