First Post in this Discussion

Have you ever noticed that Disney has never done a fairy tale with a Black princess? We have Pocahontas who represents Native America, Mulan who represents the Chinese and Jasmine who represents the descendants of the Middle East. I wonder why no black princess. Hmmm?

Disney is and has always been racist. The original Fantasia was blatant.

She loves back seats in taxis

I have thought about this before, I think they thought we'd be satisfied with the Lion King.

Now that you mention it, that's true. I wanna say they need to work on that but what's the point.

I have noticed this since I had my daughter two yrs ago.. I don't even buy those three lil white girls(disney princess stuff). because of that reason..I actually like some of the stuff. lamps,toy chest, panties, comforter sets etc..But I want my daughter to see a black doll in some of those items...So I stick with barbie, and cabbage patch dolls...

If you want to know what you are full of, and what your heart is full of, listen to your conversation

Disney is definitely all about fantasy....the little girls that come to Disney and see Snow White, Jasmine, Cinderella whether black, white, puerto rican, etc. care more about the whole idea of being a princess than what color she is. It's the adults that ultimately ruin the fantasy for these children and don't allow them to just enjoy being children.

Your wrong. if that were the case we should have never made black dolls. Studies after studies show that images mean ALOT, esp. to young minds.

......I always thought it was cheap that they did an African themed disney movie, with no black people; just animals.

There needs to be more, but the Cinderella w/Brandy was a Disney movie.

i know what you're saying, but it seems like a "damned since they don't, but be damned if they did" - because if they DID do an african-themed feature about some african princess, then we'd hear accusations of "stealing black culture for their corporate greed!!!"
.
and why does it have to be disney that does it? aren't there projects with similar themes produced by blacks?

I knew when I was FIVE that Walt Disney and co was racist. Nothing's really changed since them. As much as I loved the classic Disney animated and like action films, I knew what the deal was. And I REFUSE to watch Song of the South.
