Ariel from Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' is now ...Black.
 

You realize she’s not real right? It’s fucking cartoon. Who cares.

Sure, none of them are real so let's make Tiana from The Princess and the Frog a white girl. Think people would be outraged?

"It was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance — plus a glorious singing voice — all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role," said Marshall."

....what's the problem, onehung?

Technically, as a cartoon, a drawing, you can safely state that she has ALWAYS been colored?

OMG<OMG<OmG what is the world coming too.. they cast a black person for a role.. It's a travesty a assault on white people, MERICA is doomed the Muslims are coming... A war on Christians..

OMG, OMG, OMG it's everywhere!!!! They turned Trump black...

Yes the white minority will be less and less represented...

Funniest part is, she a mermaid. Not a "white girl" lol

Tiana is an African American human.

Does onehung not understand the difference between humans and mermaids? Does onehung view Disney mermaids as more human than black actual humans? Is onehung mad a black girl was the most qualified for the role of a Disney mermaid princess? What's onehungs deal with Disney princesses?

Things that make you go https://www.thecoli.com/media/mj.194...l?d=1561324839

Pff, no fishtail, fake mermaid

Cultural appropriation.

Time for a white dude to play Shaft and see if blacks don't feel a sting.

"reimagining"

It's almost as if you don't realize there's 4 times more more black people on earth than white. Smart business decision on Disney's part.

You're the only white person I know, that lives in the white neighborhood, and complains about black people 24/7 . Oooos! That's right you live in Boston which is 27% black.

You're living in racist hell :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Karma :2 cents:

Blocked alt-right hate fake nic reply in 3.. 2.. 1...

^^^
claims to love blacks but lives in an all white neighborhood

↑↑↑ I was right again

When they will film the Uncle Tom's Cabin movie, the Tom will be played by a white guy. Because... he is a fictional character, so who cares?

... okay.....

That already happened years ago it's a TV show called Grizzly Adams you stupid AIDS infected Russian faggot! Now stop talking about American culture shit you have no idea about it's not our job to educate you on our culture :321GFY

Actually this is why I haven't watched The Dark Tower movie. You all know I'm not a racist (actually racism is not a Russian thing at all - it's an American culture), but I want to see Roland Deschain to be looking like Clint Eastwood's because... he was described like that in the book. He must be a white man, and not just a white man, but a white man of some specific type. In a same way as Martin Luther King must be black and Bruce Lee must be Asian if someone wants to film yet another movie about them.

Yet another hysterical meltdown?

there are non white soldiers overseas protecting you so you can post this bullshit! :2 cents::2 cents: there you go saying the skin is not right for the job

Yes... Mexican immigrant soldiers fighting for America who were told their families would be safe as long as they served and they would have American citizenship after doing their tour of duty.

You want these people's families to be kicked out of America because Trump wants to go back on our promise and change the rules that's fucking disgusting and unamerican to do that to soldiers fighting for us overseas.

You care if they are black you don't give a shit if they're latina.

You're as much racist as Dead Eye & OneHungLo :2 cents:

and Mermaids can't be black because....why?

So now you'll say you're not a racist...

blade twist the shit all you want. nobody has free speech with you. do you think it is american to bother others over an opinion?

There are non white immigrant Latin soldiers protecting you so you can say whatever you want and you want to throw their families under the bus because Trump wants to break an agreement that was already made to them years ago. That's fucked up and that's 100% true based on what you said there's no twisting involved.

Imagine being overseas fighting for a country and that country wants to deport your family. You support that shit. Fucked up

If you're not a racist you're one hell of a 2 faced bigot :2 cents:

load the buses!

:thumbsup

Make her hair red and I'm good

she's not white... blue eyes? bleach her skin?

Fixed! :thumbsup

I don't care what her skin color is, this was a cartoon that my daughter got so into, my mother made her and my niece costumes to look like her and the red hair made it.

The only time I can think I really didn't think a black man should have played the part was Will Smith in Wild Wild West. It just didn't work for me, but the Magnificent Seven did!

yeah well i know you probably like seeing whites only. the real world is different. i have to go. have a safe one sir.

We be aight. We've survived yall when yall were worse. We ain't scared. See sig.

Weird an adult male is worried about a cartoon character that is for kids. Maybe you should change your nic to Roy Moore.

Kids wouldn't give a fuck about her color, It's only the racist alt right who has a problem with it.

Your sig has gone.

It does that sometimes. I have no idea why.

@everything yall threw our way. We good bro. Yall the scared ones crying about making things great again lol.

She sure as fuck looks like a mermaid...

She is legal. Would hit.

I never said that, would you want a black actor playing Donald Trump in a movie?

This reminds me of the Gay Teletubbies controversy that OneHungLo's people started years ago.

3 year old alien characters that don't speak and have no sex organs might be Gay thus are not fit to be on kids TV. Oh my God a black mermaid :helpme

Or maybe Jackie Chan playing Obama? Some roles just don't work, Will Smith in Wild Wild West didn't work for me and it did terrible at the box office, he even said he regrets doing the role.

you ok? you know which is real and which is fictional??? this is a fucking cartoon! you should be only going to see this if you are with kids or you had a date with richard simmons :Oh crap


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

You do know I said I don't have a problem with her skin color, just think her hair should be red

Have you seen the show sirens, it's a different take on mermaids

is that a fetish? nude red pumps? she's legal right???

I think my parents first figured out I was into chicas when that movie came out. I was 11 and switched from drawing birds in the yard to very detailed pictures of mermaids without the shell bra. many of mine were purple, with very small yet supple & perky tatas

at that age I don't think Ariel even registered to me as a white character, she was a mermaid who was paleface and I understood most representations I saw in media were similarly toned so it meant absolutely nothing to me. but I say that as someone of a similar shade of skin surrounded by people darker than me irl so I knew pale was not the norm. to a darker girl growing up at my time some popular cultural refs prob would have been helpful, beyond Jodi in Today's Special

this thread on face is funny though. so a Black woman -delighted that OneHung capitalized Black btw :)- plays a fictional character who was originally depicted as a white mermaid in the cartoon. if we had to suck up Johnny Depp as Tonto I think y'all can survive

@ghj, serious question about your first post as it relates to something I run into from time to time both with online friends and cam clients. what exactly are white people (here read men, never met a white woman threatened in this sort of manner, online or off) so afraid of? this is not rhetorical, what is happening that makes some dudes feel they are being driven out of agency and/or existence? like not having anything to live for? that sounds like depression rather than political position. I honestly don't get it, but would like to

I just don't see a logical foundation. when I have asked people I tend to get a set of pre-rehearsed lines about losing culture (as if cultures are ever fixed, they are always is changing) and a sense of being silenced without saying who is silencing them and words that don't really say much and seem to be very fear-based. so I drop it cuz I'm not trying to force an issue. honestly want to understand that position but for the fucking life of me cannot

as to the gif of Amin, his sad arc as leader of Uganda was very much in keeping with the gatekeeper theory articulated best by Basil Davidson (a white dude btw, thinking Walter Rodney might be a bit much for some-not you) about the nature of post-colonial African nations once they liberated themselves. no country is perfect, but there are established patterns that occur after nation gets out from under formal colonial control and this is one of them

it happened in Jamaica as well. had the CIA not destabilized the Jamaican gov in the 70's Seaga never would have been able to terrorize this country as he did for decades. even historians and academics held out on speaking about Jamaican politics and history while he was alive because they were (rightfully) afraid of the repercussions if they told the truth

his death was this nation's rebirth. really such sad legacy, that people including me are thankful he is dead


we live in an international world and it's unrealistic to think one can cement a culture or point in history in a specific place as everlasting. ish is changing, as it always has and will till the robots take over. that's part of the beauty; even the music we listen to is a mix and blend of different cultures over different periods of time

so what are people so upset about?


as a peace offering to you and DE, just a track I love
