Exactly. there's actually nothing racist about the film! True, it does have slaves, but the fact is, that's history, it's just the time period. Uncle Remus is portrayed as an intelligent and kind old man :))) And anyone with half a brain can see the true messages of the story.

While the movie it comes from is controversial, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the song Zip a Dee Doo Dah, especially when it is sung outside of the context of the movie.
