We Can't Have This Movie Why?

My family and I have always been huge Disney buffs, so once we found out about Song of the South, we immediately went through a long process to obtain a copy. It was banned in the US for the simple reason that Disney is afraid it will offend some people. However, I have never been able to figure out how anyone could be offended by it. Yes, the film mentions slavery, but it never has any racial slurs and Uncle Remus is quickly most people's favorite character.
The movie follows a young boy and he is told stories about a smart rabbit by Uncle Remus. When a story is told, the movie changes from live-action to animation. The story is truly enjoyable and I feel the young and young at heart will cherish it. It also includes the classic song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" and the animation is the setting for the classic Disney ride Splash Mountain.
Hopefully Disney will get over it and show it again to the masses.
