Is there any good reason for the movie song of the south to be banned?

Yes it's the Oscar* winning "classic"? this movie should be on every ones top 10 Disney classics list, although with the rate that pixar is going it might have to be moved to the top 20 but anyway, is this claim that the movie is "racially insensitive towards blacks" valid at all? and what is your top 10 CLASSIC Disney movie list?(ALL PIXAR MOVIES INCLUDED)

This is one of the long-standing myths surrounding this movie. It has been said that the NAACP banned the movie, but that simply isn't true. The NAACP did show their disapproval of the portrayal of African-Americans in the film even when Song of the South was being produced, however there hasn't been any official "banning" going on anywhere. As far as we know, Disney has taken it upon themselves to withhold this movie from the public. Supposedly, the NAACP has no current position on the film.
