The crows are racist as they are mimicking black stereotypes of that time. Fu*king Disney and Warner Brothers got a whole archive full of racist cartoons and this is one that was made during that time.
The ravens mascot is a raven as a bird. Now if the team was called the Redskins then yes it's racist...
Lastly, Tyler Perry isn't racist because he's black and he created it. So you can't call it racist you call it coonery.
Offensive might be too strong for me. The Dumbo crows and the Tyler Perry characters.... I know niggaz like this! Some in own damn family. These images are highly stereotypical, but there is a truth to them. My only problem is if these are the only images out there portraying Black people and, preferably not the dominant representations.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)
