@dejoncampbell: You’ve seen the orange skin and green hair before. But there’s a reason the Oompa Loompas looked like that and the story is WILD.

Research Roald Dahl. He wasn’t a stellar human being….

AthenaLikeTheGoddess👑 :

Willie Wonka was a purveyor of slavery and human trafficking. I loved this story when I was little. Dammmmiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!!

joypbeye :

Even in 1964 the original story was not questioned????

terijaq2 :

And back to White in the Timothée Chalamet movie

aleciaben :

I only understood this as an adult. As a child a bought the idea of fictional character. It is a subtle way of supporting othering and oppression!

bookednbizzy :

Great video. I love learning random facts about things.

Dawn Miller :

First time I heard that they were Black and shipped over 😩

ErikaAmi :

And cacao beans grow IN Africa, why would they need to go to England to get cacao beans

Konnen :

bgreen757 :

Genesis unlocked :

I'm sadden with this updated version because I used to love that show but not anymore

rootedfromthegroundup❌ :

Yeah I won’t be watching that crap ever again!!

user5260588262334 :

The most shocking thing is why they would feel it was OK to even write a book like that let alone try to put it in a movie😢

Bunni✨ :

NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE

Jeannie 728 🇮🇹🧿🇬🇷 :

This was fascinating; so well done. I NEVER knew this. Sadly, I’m not surprised or shocked at all. My jaw remained it place.

TigerCat :

WHAT?!?! Interesting…

Middle one :

I’m angry, now.

SuperNovaMama :

tff.tff :

I feel like I remember the book saying when he found them, they used to eat bugs or caterpillars or something, so when he came promising chocolate, they jumped at the chance

nansplainer :

Good Lord.

Yadubya :

thenerdinme :

all the books we were forced to read are all racist as f!!

Melissa Swingle :

I have such mixed feelings on this story in general. Definitely the Oompa Loompas bother me a great deal. I'm also bugged that August Gloop's only crime is being a fat kid. Roald Dahl was consistently a fat-shamer, but so were a lot of writers of that area. I have read and enjoyed many books with my kids that were written by Roald Dahl, and in every one I have to stop and say here or there that I actually don't like this part/aspect of the story because xyz. We've talked about the oompa loompas. I asked my kids if they thought it was okay that they never leave the factory and it started a big discussion. I haven't told them yet about the r*cist roots of the oompa loompas. I'll get there eventually though.
