Well, I kinda have to think that they were telling the truth when they said that they didn't originally have a story for it. Practically all of the classic Disney movies are made from stories that already existed. They're having to adapt one themselves just to be politically correct. But with shows like "The Proud Family" and rising young singer/actresses like Raven Symone, it's hard to say that Disney excludes African Americans.

Who say African Americans are excluded or discriminated?

Disney's Song of the South:

The Image of Racism Forbidden Animation: A Valuable Contribution Cohen's chapter on racist images in animation is primarily devoted to the depiction of people of color. "When and why did animators stop making these films?" Cohen investigates both the actions of African-American publications and organizations such as the NAACP in making their displeasure with stereotypes in American animation known. The greater part of Cohen's investigation centers around the production and reception of Disney's Song of the South(1947). Based on Production Code Administration files, interviews with screenwriter Maurice Rapf and contemporary press reports, Cohen illustrates how Disney attempted to respond to pressure to modify his use of stereotypes in the film. Disney hired Rapf, a Jew and known Communist, to rewrite the script in the hope that Rapf's background qualified the screenwriter to avoid problems related to racism. Disagreements with Dalton Reymond, author of the original Uncle Remus treatment, led to Rapf's reassignment and several of the racist clichés were restored. Even if the film had been made according to his version, Rapf now feels that Song of the South was inherently racist, and should not have been made.
