BM>DM> What's the "Song of the South"? Is it from a movie? All I know is

  I just opened this conference, and am glad to see this subject
  come up, as I was going to comment on this problem.
  Sometime in the last year I found out that Disney had kowtowed
  to the NAACP in blocking distribution of the video. Ever since
  then, I have been ticked off at both Disney and the NAACP.
  I really hate PC (Political Correctness). ;-)
  The NAACP strikes another blow for racial harmony. NOT !!!!!!!
  I've heard that it is available on a Japanese laserdisk; but
  I don't have a laser disk player, or any idea where to get
  the disk. If someone has a bootleg copy of the thing on
  VHS tape, I'll pay $40 bucks for it. Leave E-Mail address.
  Thanks.
