I think it's more about how it whitewashed slavery and made it look fun and nice. Like the slaves were just beloved family members who would never leave even if they could because being a slave is the best thing. It's not at all a perfect depiction of how it actually was.

Of course, I did like the movie just fine for what it is. It was happy and the songs were kind of catchy. And just like novels with the bad word in it, I don't think it should be hidden away. Because it existed and it's history. I just get why Disney doesn't want to touch it with a 30 foot pole.

It took place after slavery ended. There was no slavery and no one in the movie was supposed to be depicting a slave. Like I said, they were subservient to white people, and really mostly just the one landowner in particular, because she was the property owner who was employing them. It made perfect sense how it was played out, especially when you consider the era it was in.
