Was Walt Disney Anti-Semitic?

Wasn't this topic discussed already? I thought it was. Anyway, I think my feeling on this issue is, who cares? Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. At the end of the day, everyone has some racists feelings about someone. The hope is that we over come them, which comes from time and wisdom. So even if Walt hated Jews in his 20's didn't mean he hated them in his 60's.

Goliath, great minds think alike.

I was considering posting that exact image. Then decided not to. So thanks! It sums up my feelings on this topic so well.

I may have said it before, but I think Disney being anti-semetic was a rumour.

I would say no. I think it's just an urban legend. You know how people like to ruin other people's reuptation.

Time to destroy the rumor mill once and for all.

I'm sorry if anyone has been offended by my post, and I did not wish to irritate anyone. Being new, I will remember next time to go through all 303 pages of Ultimate Disney's forum to make sure that the topic I bring up hasn't been discussed before. Thank you especially, Goliath, for your mature, thought-provoking and well-written reply.

We do have a search engine and it's more than likely that if you ever heard of something crazy about Disney such as this, that it's already been discussed on here and the results were far from pretty. But try not to let it get to ya. This is Ultimate Disney forum, not the classiest place for discussion in the realm of anything involving Disney + religion.

I seriously Laugh my ass off at that. So cleverly witty.

Rumor Mills should burn.

That said, this isnt an unfounded accusation. Wasnt it that the live-action studios were founded by Jews and walt was left out of the club? I think I'd have a tiny bias after that if it were me.

This thread reminds me of this video:

It's around the 1:44 mark, but the whole clip is worth a watch. lol.

Yeah, but I like my drama to be a bit more original. You know, like members wishing Randy Newman would be hit by a bus just for having won the Oscar for Best Song... now that's good stuff!

You'll get used to it if you decide to stay here longer.

Fixed!

Otherwise you make it sound like a lot of members here say these kind of stuff.

If it's true... show us a photo. We need proof.

So... does anyone have a clue what the old topic was called? I can't find anything.

It could/would help mods merge... Should they want to.

That was a thread started by Jackoleen a few months back concerning Marc Elliot's biography "Walt Disney: The Dark Prince of Hollywood". A lot of myths surrounding Walt were discussed there besides the accusations of anti-semitism.
