Hi!

Let's address the fact that a CHILD actress is being called racist names by ADULTS -- they can simply not watch the darn film if they hate seeing a brown face that freakin' bad.

It's very interesting to note that when I write on topics pertaining to Blacks or even comments, it is typically Japanese/Chinese/Koreans who have a problem with my posts but I never have a problem with them. I gravitate more to their ideologies and stories more but it is never reciprocated. I talk about this in some of my writings.

Secondly, I have seen where Blacks and Asians had a problem with Ghost in the Shell. Personally, I prefer Asians to play the main roles when there is an adaptation such as that one. At the end of the day, yes, racism is stupid but my articles aren't fanning any flames. Black people's response to horrid memes and pictures(which have been done to us for years) is not hatred. It appears that Blacks' response to HATRED is labeled as HATRED-- and that is simply not true.

As I've said before in many of my articles, those who are not Black will never in a million years understand our past and current plight. You can't argue that.

There is no way in hell that I will EVER justify this young black girl for being called "slave", or "not my ariel". She was chosen for the job by a white director and that settles it.

I actually agree that Disney should leave Black and Brown people's stories alone- period. Find new source material instead of borrowing mermaid stories from the coast of Africa and the Caribbean. Too much appropriation.
