Popeye
Before you watch this cartoon, take a minute and set the stage. This is a
time when the world was at WAR. The only political correctness was how to
be respectful in the House and Senate.
The word "racist" wasn't thrown around freely like "and & the" as it is
today by some people. Hollywood and all the prominent actors supported
the war effort. The people of the US did their part too, donating time and
materials. Anything to support our boys over there.
We didn't like our enemies and we didn't have nice things to say about
them. No one cared if things said about them were "racist" or "phobic". We
despised them, for what they had done to innocent people in Europe and
our people in Hawaii.
If you watch this series you will notice a change take place in the cartoons
as Popeye and the US become focused on the war effort.
