    No, I don't believe there is any racist content in that movie at all.

    I'm black, and I don't think the film Mary Poppins had any of type of racism. We live in a overly sensitive world now these days.

    they were black from sweeping the chimneys..it had nothing to do with blackface

    Blackface is painting your face black and pretending to be black.

    they did no such thing. It was soot, from cleaning chimneys. Entirely different.

    Liberals find an excuse to call something "racist". Especially a movie that is as classic and beloved as Mary Poppins. Liberals are miserable wretched people and they want everybody else to be as dismal and dreary as they are.

    they were chimney sweeps, of course their faces would be black.

    Chimney cleaners got covered in soot, on a regular basis. Had nothing to do with anyone's natural skin color, one way or the other, Skipper.
