Jungle Jitters! [NSFW]

The Golden Age of Cartoons brought families to the movie theater to see the six minute cartoon shorts from Disney, Warner Bros., MGM, Lantz and Paramount films. Unfortunately many themes of the Golden Age were considered extremely negative to today's standards.

There were some of the most offensive, racist, disturbing and yet brilliant cartoons from the days of Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones.

The mascot of Warner Bros. is Bugs Bunny. The undisputed face of American culture, Bugs and his friends ruled the movie theaters. Families would often laugh at the antics of Bugs, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester & Tweety and Foghorn Leghorn. 

But like all cartoons, there were some things you couldn't escape. 

Ted Turner the famed media mogul and philanthropist bought Hanna-Barbera, MGM, Fleischer Studios and started the Cartoon Network in 1992.

Now you know that Warner Bros cartoons are priceless. Even though some are often seen on Cartoon Network or its spin off channel Boomerang most of the Warner Bros. cartoons are censored. 

Of course here's the catch of most Warner Bros. cartoons from 1928 to 1959 were racist, pro-military propaganda, depicting the characters in stereotypical themes, Blackface and sometimes cursing.

This video that is featured on YouTube is called Jungle Jitters. it's officially one of the most offensive cartoons to be ever made. 

It's controversial. Be warned that even the first two minutes are extremely racist.

Jungle Jitters is a one-reel animated cartoon short subject in the Merrie Melodies series, produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on February 19, 1938 by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Vitaphone Corporation. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger and directed by Friz Freleng, with musical supervision by Carl W. Stalling and voices by Mel Blanc.

The cartoon features a number of racial stereotypes throughout the short (such as people in blackface), which prompted United Artists to withhold this cartoon from syndication in 1968, making it one of the Censored Eleven.

Just as Paula Deen is attempting to rebuild her sullied reputation in the wake of last year’s N-word scandal, son Jamie has re-ignited the accusations of racism that surround the family.

Amid reports that the Food Network has cancelled his own cooking show, Jamie posted a photo on Twitter on Friday of him smooching with an older African-American woman.

The image was captioned ‘Don’t tell [my wife] Brooke. #jellyroll #sugar’.

The woman in the photo, Ineata ‘Jellyroll’ Jones, is an employee of Paula Deen who was at the center of some of last year’s racist accusations.

In 2013, The Columbus Dispatch claimed, ‘Deen used Jones for restaurant theater. At 11 a.m., when the doors opened at [her restaurant] Lady & Sons, she stood in front and rang an iron dinner bell.’

Ineata Jones was being made a "mammy" by the Deen family.  The blatant racism of the Deen family is beyond disgusting.

“Wow, did Paula Deen really call one of her workers JellyRoll?” LaVerne Mack (@shaigirl11) wrote on Twitter. “I find that more offensive than the N-word.”

Another woman wrote:

"I didn't know about the history of the term jellyroll but she clearly doesn't mind the nickname. Paula asked her to dress as Aunt Jemima and she said no, end of story. Sometimes people need to be educated on other cultures. Clearly Paula has a romantic view of certain periods of time in the south that was very painful for African Americans. The south is not the most tolerant place and it's steeped in tradition. Instead of vilifying, why not use these incidents to begin a conversation about some of the issues that exist with race."-  Charli at Radaronline.com.

I agree.
