so I stumbled upon this guy's blog while looking up stuff on Disney's The Princess and The Frog movie and I had the overwhelming urge to slap the guy. Reading through the post I found him whining and bitching about Disney's racism. Now yes, I will agree that some of his points are true and that Disney has had rather racist black characters in the past but come on! This guy is going too far to me. He whines about the hyenas in the Lion King, completely ignoring that Moofasa was also played by a black man. He complains about the crows in Dumbo, who yes were stereotypes but at least were part of the good guys! He seems to act like they were bad guys. He complains about the latest Disney movie which to a certain degree I think is utter BS. Yes, fine it took Disney quite a while to get there but that's not the point. Hell if it had been a white princess he probably would've bitched about that too!
Now look, everyone here knows I think Disney is an evil corporation, especially after all the crappy direct to video sequels they've made lately and usually I'd be the last person to defend but I find this guy to just... be bitching about the wrong things. Is it just me or does it seem to be such a waste of time to whine about PAST racisms when there are current racisms to worry about? Yes okay, racism like that happened in the past it was horrible and bad, we accept it as a nation, let's do something about CURRENT racism. Don't whine about how Disney had racist sounding black characters in the past. Whine about how Blacks still don't make as much as whites on average. Whine about how minorities are more likely to be drug addicts or felons because of the places they are stuck in. Don't complain about past racism when current racism is much more relevant!
Am I complaining about nothing or do I actually have a point? Does anyone see my point or do you think I'm crazy?
