Suite Life on Deck Joke About John Wilkes Booth Offends Viewer

I am utterly appalled at this channel. I was sitting watching Suite Life on Deck and they were doing a talent show with one of the characters portraying Abraham Lincoln, she was trying to recite the Emancipation Proclamation and messing it up, which is not what the problem is. My problem with this channel is that the black character named Mr Mosby said" Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?".. I was stunned that a president of the United States would be disrespected in such a manner. What are they teaching our children? That it is ok to take a human life regardless of color. Had that comment been reversed and a white character had said"Where is James Earl Ray when you need him?".. This would have caused an outrage. I find it very sad that this company I loved as a child and have spent several hundred dollars supporting would degrade a president who was assassinated while in office and I'm outraged!!! Shame on you Disney, Walt would not have wanted his company to be run this way
