Banned Cartoon

It is amazing to me that these cartoons are banned, I remember these from my youth. There are as much a part of history and culture as is slavery, the civil war, World War II and the civil rights movement. I am a white male, But after seeing how far we have come to think 65 to 70 year old cartoons from a time when people were a little less educated will create more stereotypes seems ludicrous. Besides, is there some panel that sits around deciding what cartoons to ban.

there is an old Bug Bunny Cartoon called" Hillbilly hare" which has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen. and me being from the hills of KY, Yet it is banned, who decided I would be offened by that?

Words to live by

Two prominent Democrats lament the degradation of civil
discourse in graduation addresses:

Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles,
told University of Southern California graduates it was "poisoning our
politics."

Mark Warner, former Virginia governor speaking at Wake
Forest University, criticized the "personal and partisan attacks" and
"complex issues reduced to easy-to-digest sound bites."

"No one — no one — in politics has a monopoly on virtue,
on patriotism,
or most importantly, on the truth," Mr. Warner said.
"And that goes for
everyone, from conservative to liberal."
