I'd probably go with Sunday Go To Meetin' Time, the hole polished head thing was a bit too much and I'm not even black.

I have to say that "Sunday Go to meetin' Time" is nowhere near as offensive as it could have been...some of the gags are a tad over-the-top, but, like Coal Black and Clean Pastures, I detected no real malicious intent (besides, the shoe polish gag cracked me up...DIGRESSION: when me and my brother were kids, our mother made us wear our hair extremely close-cut {'cause the big Afros were a lot of work to maintain! Our big brother, being older and able to maintain his own hair, escaped this fate!} and I remember my mother massaging the Royal Crown hair pomade into our scalps 'til our scalps positively shined---not like a polished shoe, of course, but you never had to worry about scratching your scalp during prayer service, either!! Ah, them good o'l days...)
"All This and Rabbit Stew" on the other hand, DOES have malicious intent...the only thing that saves this cartoon from being a total waste is Tex Avery's emerging speeded-up gags, something he would perfect at MGM

Angel Puss is porably the most offensive of the bunch, beacue of how disdainfully the main character is depicted in that partiuclar cartoon (moreso than Rabbit Stew)

Angel Puss is both the most offensive and the most devoid of artistic merit.

None of the C11 are really that offensive to me, but I picked Angel Puss I guess.

Angel Puss is not only offensive, but painfully unfunny. Jungle Jitters isn't that funny either, but it gets a little pass for dealing with cannibals.

Nothings really offensive about Angel Puss, it's just a black kid running away from a ghost. Then again, I diddn't like the whole shaking the dice to get the boy's attention. Angel Puss has some funny expressions when you can make them out on the poor copies floating obout.
I least offensive cartoon on this is probably "Hittin' The Trail". the Uncle Tom character doesn't even look black, neather does the early Bosko, he just looks like a dog or a wolf or something, and not in a Goldilocks or Tin Pan Alley Cats way eather.

I chose Sunday... since it probably has the largest number of "black jokes/stereotypes" of any of the Censored Eleven. Angel Puss wasn't so much offensive as it was just plain stupid IMO. And I actually found very little that was really offensive about Isle Of Pingo Pongo.

Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips is far more offensive than all of these.

Nips The Nips isn't actually in the Censored 11, this and Tokio Jokio should actually be on a banned list too.
