Rob: No one knows what went on in Walt's mind, but I do think he's treated too harshly. Like MANY others he may have viewed Fascism as a Utopian hope. It certainly looks great in Leni's films - whose distribution was wisely turned down by him.

Turning back to the topic at hand: I don't exactly know what Walt's view on it would be, but I'm sure Hitler would have let trannies into the party until he turned on the SA in '34. It has often been rumored that his maternal grandfather was a tranny and a Freemason. Goebbels was prevented from being a tranny because of his limp. Himmler went as far as having his testicles removed.




How very true, there was SOOOOOOO much gay going on in the Nazi party... I get a kick out of seeing the neo-nazis marching against gays. I got two words for them... Ernst Rhom. Mind you Hitler did a good cover job having the SS slaughter them when Rhom got too indiscreet, it made it seem like they cared about it, when in honesty... as long as you could fake it long enough to breed they didnt care if you got a pickle poking. I once read an interesting story from a Jewish man who as a young boy in poland and was "saved" by Himmler and made into his "confidant".

As far as Walt. You are right, no one knows exactly what he was thinking at all times. But I have read many books that included things written by him, and interviews with his closest confidants. Even Ub Iwerks, who had the biggest beef with Walt, when asked would say that Walt was many things, but racist was not one of them. Did he occasionally lash out and say some insensitive things? yes, but who doesn't at times. He also made it a point to have representative from all religions he could get and children of all races at the opening of Disneyland, and refused to have any segregation in the park (Disneyland never had separate water fountains or restrooms the closest thing to segregation was admittedly there were very few blacks placed in "on stage" roles in the park till about 64 <i'm swinging a guess on the date cause im sick and don't feel like getting up and grabbing books off the shelf atm.>)
