Most white masters which had the power over slaves viewed the Bible in reference to justify the evil and wrong doings that they would commit such as adultery and rape among female slaves.

Some of Disney’s major competitors include News Corporation (NWS), Time Warner (TWX), DreamWorks Animation SKG (DWA), and Viacom (VIA), who directly compete with Disney in myriad business lines.
