Finally, "The Little Mermaid", who is now black... Is in theaters!

You're lumping everybody together and flaming people. You're one of those dudes that just can't get over some fat rednecks telling racist jokes at a klan meeting and then project that onto as many white people as possible. Congratulations, you're the racist that you hate so much.

If I'm making red neck jokes and your neck feels hot enough that you have to comment then you might be a red neck......

Disney is in the "entertainment" business. Not just movies.

The Walt Disney Company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise with five business segments: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, consumer products and interactive media.

If you think Disney's primary objective is anything other than making money you're actually retarded.

I'm just observing a living contradiction. I'm actually hispanic. You wouldn't know that though because you just assume everybody you disagree with is a racist white person.

You forgot they advocate for all kinds of perversion.

Yeah, Disney doesnt care. How has that been working out for them?

It's working out great for us in SoCal. We get to keep 2,000 Disney jobs that were going to Florida. Winning!

I suspect it will do good at the box office if the script is good and the acting is as well more times than not a movie bombs because of either a bad script, bad acting, bad directing or all three.

Hey..why you fat-shamin' my people?

I don't actually give a shit what you are. I didn't even ask. I was referencing a Jeff Foxworthy joke, not actually calling you a redneck. If you're the type of little ***** bent out of shape by a black mermaid in a Disney movie then you are exactly who I was talking about.

You know why it's annoying Sassy? Because it's ******* hilarious that guy called himself an Alpha. Who does that with a straight face? And in a story about Disney and mermaids? Is that what you really need your Alphas..... .... occupying their time on? Is this really the Alpha area of expertise? Mermaids?

I really thought that calling a man an 'Alpha' was a slur at this point in time.

Depends on the crowd. Everyone misuses the concept, anyway~

You seem like an interesting person. /s

Back off creep. Not interested.

 

[NotYourBody]

Wow, you sure have a lot of children!

Hahaha! I meant to say 30 something year old.

You should take your compliments where you can get them, 'round this camp~

The only thing people talk about is the fact that she's black. I've been cringing ever since this movie made the news.

Did you know that the famous rock ‘n’ roll song “you ain’t nothing but a hound dog” was originally performed by a big black lady?

 

[jknowgood]

The Little Mermaid is now portrayed by an African-American actress and with the movie the best! Diversity is wonderful and people might even prefer an African American actress in this role.

The mantra "Go woke go broke" well be challenged here, because if this movie makes a lot of money then it is not always true that woke goes broke.

Well you go watch it or take your kids to watch it?

Don't care what color she is. Just glad they didn't make her trans. Lol

 

[Curried Goats]

It sort of is a trans story though innit? I mean she starts off as a mermaid and transformers into a human and tricks a dude into falling in love with her. Think about it.

Ariel was white. Now she is black.
But people freak when hollywood uses straight people for gay roles, white people for black roles etc.
Why the double standard?

Because Ariel is a creature of mythology, you may not know this, but mermaids are not real

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Really? I can think of a ton, Blood Diamond was a great movie, Mandela, Exodus, stories of Ancient Eygpt, Sheba, there are plenty out there

How about remaking Mandela with Leo Dicaprio as the old necklace maker himself?

Creatures of mythology are creatures of the mythos that made them. That's why Baron Samedi doesn't look like a white biker.
