Alleged racism? How about blatant racism? Coal Black it ain't.

Terribly, terribly racist. I like to think that we have come a long way since 1944 in our attitudes toward cats (though there is still room for improvement in this cat-hating society). The only funny bit is where the cat goes "boo" in front of the mirror and is immediately startled (to find that his white paint had washed off).

I guess by this point, Chuck Jones was tired of being deemed the cute cartoon maker at WB, so this wretchedly racist cartoon was the result. Of the Censored Eleven cartoons I've watched so far, this has to be one of the worst in terms of horrendous racial stereotyping.

Abhorrent. Besides the overt racist stereotyping, it's just not funny. A cartoon about drowning a cat in a sack of rocks? Kids must've loved this one.

Oh my, this was considered appropriate for kids back in the day? Times sure have changed...
