Well, It's One Of Our Folks

It's time for another Controversial Cartoon Day, and I'm going Loony. That's right, I'm reviewing a Looney Tunes cartoon. This was called Southern Fried Rabbit, and stared Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. This cartoon was banned due to a brief scene that was racial stereotyping. So anyway, the plot is that Bugs goes down South to get some carrots. There he meets Sam, who plays a Confederate general who still fights. Sam won't let the rabbit cross over, so Bugs declares war. Bugs tries to get past Sam by pretending he's a black man. He plays a banjo and sings a song, which must be racist considering they banned this cartoon. What must be the racist thing is that Bugs pretends to be whipped like a slave. Anyway, it's more funny than racist, and I laughed at it. So what happens after that is Bugs tricks Sam some more. He ends the cartoon telling Sam that the Yankees are in Chattanooga. But the punch line of the joke is that the base ball Yankees are there, causing Sam to threaten them. Well, I enjoyed this cartoon. It may contain a brief history joke, but it's quick. The other jokes are hilarious, and the cartoon is entertaining. So, I give Southern Fried Rabbit a 4.5 out of 5.
