so what are peoples opinions on disneyland using the b'rer rabbit imagery for their ride (i forget the name, its a log ride)? a reflection of a cultural tradition, or blatent racism?

 

[ColdBlooded]

it's a ride based off a movie

and they only based it on the animated "non-racist" portions

besides the ride is dope

Hell of a track.

Interesting read. I always wondered about the name B Rabbit from 8 Mile but I never made the connection to this story. Did anyone who watched 8 mile pick up on that while they were watching the movie??? It was funny that the author said brer rabbit personafied the characteristics of a modern day rapper.

Hell of a track.

The bassline is hypnotizing.
