Loonly Tunes Offenive?

On TCM (Basic Cable channel) saturdays they show Old Loonly Tunes from the thirtys to the fortys.I was watching it today and before a certain cartoon a guy said that be warn that this one could offend some people.
On most of the shows it does (inleast I see anyway)A black man or a Native American being stupid and looking like a fool infront of certain people.
Do you think that the guy should had warn everyone before the show?During that time they made fun of them and got away with it.In now adays you can't say anything at all.
My question is because it no longer airs on tv if they stop showing it because of this?Any sugguestions?jm

Its a fine line

while I would never support this harsh of censorship, we cannot avoid the fact that we are influenced (if only in subtle and annoying ways) by what we see on the media.

I love old loony toons though, so I say long live bugs bunny!

Me too!It is also a cartoon.Other cartoons make fun of different stuff like gays and religion.One good exsample is Familiy guy.Why no one called to say so and they still have that show on the air.
If Family Guy can make fun of those sort of things so can Loony Tunes!jm

Loony toons is aimed at children though, whereas family guy is a "satire", so they get to do whatever they want and can turn around and go "ha, but we are just making fun".

There is the context too. Racist jokes on tv are normally funny because of the person telling them looking like an idiot, rather than the victim looking bad, whereas with loony toons it is a direct caricature of blacks.

I'm with you though. I think some toon networks still carry them at like 12 midnight for us older fans.

Really?What channel is it on?and what does satire mean?Sorry that word is new to me.Glad you argee with me you do ma ke a point there.The dvds are out so I have to go buy thoses and also there is always saturday morning loony tunes on TCM(11:30)AM in case you are interested!
I noted also on the dvd of old disney cartoons the same warning is told because of a certain Goofy cartoon that makes fun of Native americans and also one of people from mexico or blacks.JM

I dont watch TCM.

Do you watch Loony Tunes?jm

yes.. well I used to 😖 ...No its not offensive material. ....TCM is wacked.

If you don't like old movies.I do enjoy them.Got to get some sleep.Night.jm

What the hell is a Loonly Tune?

I'm black and I've never found Cartoon's offensive.

Loonly Tunes?

or

Loony Toons.

Anyone offended by a cartoon is an idiot who deserves their discomfort.

I'm personally offended by Roots.

But that's how plants grow.

I was watching Popeye the sailor man one time and he said "I've never made love on technicolor before". i thought it was funny.

Get Boomerang.

Personally, cartoons don't offend me, but. . .those cartoons from way back in THOSE days aren't making fun, they're just going on along with the times and back in those times, minorities were shown to be inferior. At least now when a certain race is made to look bad on a cartoon, it's most likely a joke. Back in the the day, the people made the minority characters exactly how they seen them and thought the race should be portrayed.

Should the old cartoons like these be taken away. . . no, but should there be a warning. . .yes.

There shouldn't be a warning and they shouldn't be taken away.

They are cartoons they are portraying a part of the culture in those days. Fact is that people believe different things now then they did back then, there is nothing wrong with that. That is just how the world works. Anybody that can't see that deserves to be offended by these cartoons.
