When you invest in Disney what do you get back?? Time to kill from your kids. And…Hollywood has since, its inception always promoted racism, sexism, violence, etc. From D.W. Griffith’s “Birth of A Nation” to modern day hip hop music… All serve to downgrade the image of males within the minority community. The subliminal messages in Disney cartoons are questionable at best and nearly all females are constantly portrayed as sex objects in every facet of the entertainment industry. And need I start with the industry’s fascination with the occult/satanism??? Is that good for children? And I’ll never forgive them for Maid in Manhattan or Jar Jar Binks from the crappy new Star Wars movies. WATCH ABOVE HATE ON! ---

Well, at least they’re equal opportunity sexists if they want to portray males _and_ females poorly. ---

“Maid in Manhattan”? The Jennifer Lopez movie? While I can understand the anger against that abomination, It’s a Columbia Pictures film, which is mostly Sony. No relationship with Disney that I can find. ---

Just cause a guy is in YouTube Obviously high and/or drunk Doesn’t mean what he says is worth saying Those pointing out jar jar was pre Disney are missing the point. Lucas had said before there would never be an episode VII, VIII, or IX What happened between when he said this - and the sale to Disney? That’s right - numerous Disney animation films - now done by computer to get better subliminal messages and shit. This is why Lucas sold - they had to make enough movies to make sure he would see one. Lucas doesn’t need the money - and Lucasfilm was very profitable. Therefore he must have been brainwashed by Walt Disney who you might recall is being kept in a cryocrypt in the same area as Club 33. They figure the Star Wars fans will be too upset to notice - and they were right - no one seems to care that Lucas sold something for money he doesn’t need to make something that he said would never be made. Disney knowingly and willfully committed lemmingcide - you think they don’t know what they aren’t above a little false flag action to cement their power. Stop being fools! ---

Not sure if the OP knows what subliminal messages are. Or that they don’t actually work. ---

The OP has also posted the same question to random other boards. (I googled the text.) If it’s satire, I’m not sure I get it. ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > While they own Star Wars now, they didn’t back when the prequel trilogy was made. Exactly. Although I guess it would be cathartic if we had more people to blame for Jar Jar Binks. ---

As the saga of the Skywalkers and Jedi Knights unfolded, I began to see it as a tale that could take at least **nine films to tell—three trilogies** —and I realized, in making my way through the back story and after story, that I was really setting out to write the middle story. ---

I have to admit that I liked the Disney musical version of “Birth of A Nation”. Especially the part where the Klan strings up Bambi. ---

And to address the OP’s questions, the people who invested in Disney at the start have made a _shit_ load of money. ---

**IndependentDemocrat,** you have started three topics on here linking to your Youtube channel. That is called spamming and it’s against the rules here. Do not post your Youtube channel again or you may be banned as a spammer if that’s all that it appears you’re here to do. I have left the other two topics open since 1. They’re in forums run by other mods and 2. Have seemed to generate some interesting discussion…so it’s up to those mods to do what they wish with them. **This** one I’m closing down, though. If you have a real point, make it, rather than just use a topic as a reason to advertise your channel.
