Comments on: DISNEY’S FIRST BLACK PRINCESS CAN’T FIND A BLACK PRINCE?

I am glad the prince was not black. I see MANY movies (live action) featuring a black male and no black females in sight. Now tell me a movie quickly (say 10) where you see a white male with ONLY black females? NONE. It sends the message there is something wrong with black women. Black men in the media (not all of course) have this attitude that to be seen as “better” they have to be with non-black women and have tried to elevate their status with white people at the expense of black women. If there were movies where black women were featured only and often with non- black men (with no non-black women in sight), the non-black women would complain and NOT support these movies. But because it is black women, they are supposed to take it is not say anything, like if they have no feelings; and if they complain, they are “haters”. I LOVE what Disney did here, and watch out world, more of this is coming, because like it or not, it’s the black females that are doing more in this world in terms of education (don’t believe me? check out educational records).

Black women hate black men. This animated film is just a reflection of their hatred and utter contempt for All black males. It is a mental illness being played out all over the media and in periodicals across the usa. The new fad of black women with white men is also a component of psychosis. Personally I believe that black women should embrace white males to the fullest. Indeed as MLK once said, ‘no lie can live forever’. ‘ The arch of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice’. The relationship that black men and white women have is far different for black woman and white males. May it be said that black males and white females have a mutual understanding found in the reality of being the most exploited of living beings. Confined to a kind of slavery of the expectations of a society. The same but different, white women know white males very well. However, please let black american women revel in their shared hatred of black men. Their white counterparts are greatly appreciative of the new black woman’s perspective and level of self hate. It is best that they take white males. The few that want them that is. Once he has finished with his fantasy there will be no one left. I am oblivious to blac kwomen with white men. It matters not to me at all what they do.

Maybe the real underlying problem should be address, there are no Blacks in positions of power at Disney, to even express that there is something wrong with their portrayal of various black cultures. And unfortunately there never will be. Disney has a serious cultural disconnect. As for the Prince get over it, most Blacks in America have multi-cultural/ethnic ancestry. It wasn’t until someone white coined the phrase African-American, which makes absolutely no sense, that the richness of our heritage and our struggles became something of a blight.

lol @ the complaints, its a comlete joke.
and arent all the storylines in disney about poor girls/servants etc turning into princesses i.e cinderella, its been one before but no-one complained.
and about the princesses name, if she was called claire, im sure peole would complain thats it wasnt black enough, but is she was calle an african name like feyi(im nigerian lol) then people would have said they are trying to hard to make them black/african.
black people love to complan, why cant they ust be hay that we are being represented, at least the black girl is a BLACK girl, ie wiv black features etc, not like they o with the dolls here they us paint the orignal babes brown n call them black.

We should all represent eachother, not just certain races. GOD CREATED US ALL. Remember that!

first of all the dude doesn’t look white to me hes clearly ‘of colour’
second of all his name is naveen, thats a distinctly non-white kind of name.
third of all why should a black princess ‘have to’ have a black prince? stop being so selfish, represent the minorities. my friends mom is black and their dad is middle eastern, its about time they had something to represent their ethnicity.

Love has no color, love is blind and love is the strongest human emotion. They both look very happy with each other. It is a fairy tale, after all, so he can be any race you want him to be and they lived happily ever after.

TLCHILD…speak to me direct (in response to your last comment). Go back & read my comment posted March 19th, 2009 at 10:14 am & reread your following comment & tell me you didn’t comment based on what I or someone else said. I can read between lines & unlike you, I’m comfortable with being very direct. I don’t have to sugar coat or use anyone else to validate what I said because your right about one thing, you don’t know me & correction, I don’t know you. As far as me needing to speak to someone, that’s exactly what I did. I spoke directly to you, the person I intended my message for. Tell me something, did your college education teach you anything about stereotypes? Due to the fact that I spoke my mind, I had to be viewed as an angry, unhappy, black woman with self-esteem issues, that need someone to validate & make me feel important? That’s the typical stereotype of a black woman that speaks her mind. I’m having a discussion just like everyone else. I can’t help it if my conversation may be stronger than what you’re use to. Oh & just in case your wondering, this is the reason why a lot of weak black men end up with other race women because of women like me. They can’t handle the fact that some of us have a mind of our own & aren’t going to set back & go with the flow. I don’t sugar coat things to put you in a comfort zone. No one said, preparing you for the world would be easy once you step outside of that bubble & I offer no apology for that. Plus, I never said you viewed me as uneducated. I was making a general statement as part of my discussion. One of those things that just fell in place. I’m sure your smart enough to grasp that concept since your quoting your sociology courses (within your third party conversation). Don’t mistake me speaking my mind, as some sort of issue I must have with myself. My message clearly went over your head. My discussion was based on black people being more supportive of one another. Now you’re telling me to go out & make movies. Trust me, if my finances were that lavish, I would. Would you? Would you even support it? For now, I’m going to voice my opinion. I’m sure no one on this site has that type of money or they wouldn’t be on here “complaining” either. What makes my statement a complaint & yours right? Is it because I don’t agree with you? I can agree to disagree, that’s what adults do. Do you admire a regular person, besides people in the media (mother, father, etc.)? You can’t learn or value real struggle based on what you see on t.v. At the end of the day (when they turn the cameras off), they’re regular people that makes mistakes also. If you or anyone else wants to step up to the plate & take what I’ve said as complaining verses I have the right to voice my opinion, than you need to open your mind up to not only your opinion matters. I personally don’t care about how a white person feels on what I said because I’m speaking to my “BLACK” people. My message may not be for you! Your statement: I do not need a CAUCASIAN, HISPANIC, ASIAN, CHINESE, MIDDLE EASTERN, or any other NATIONALITY of people, and especially, BLACK people to make me feel important. Why did you say “especially” black people? Sounds to me like you need to check yourself because you have a problem with your own race. I’ve seen this in a few black women, “especially” the one’s that have issues in reference to their black fathers or the way a man did them. How they’re mother may have been treated or the father not being there all together. That’s another conversation though. As far as validation & handouts, I don’t expect anyone to give me anything. I work hard for everything I have. By the way, I’m not a Disney supporter and I hope you don’t think one person woke up one day & built all of Disney by himself. It took support (the point of my messages)! To address your mixing races statement…the only time they want to mix with black is when it has a name/$ sign in front of it. Best believe that white family is not accepting your black behind (generally speaking) with open arms & your a nobody. They’re known for disowning their kids for things like that. To sum it up TL, don’t take what I say as me personally attacking you. This is the internet & we can only respond to each other based upon what we put out. I’ll never know who you are, as you’ll never know who I am.
