There's a podcast I follow (can't wait for new episodes) that did a whole series on racism in movies such as Gone With the Wind and Disney's Song of the South (which has been pulled from circulation).
I remember seeing SotS when I was a kid and the things I took notice of was that it blended cartoons and live action and it had lots of music.
I think people should teach kids that when reading a book or watching a movie they need to be mindful of when it was written. The difference in time is important to grasp. They need to know not just the time setting of the story but the time that it was written. Banning such things is not the way to go.
