"the princess and the frog"
first disney movie with a black lead character.....or something like that....
cool.
but this is where i shake my head.......
from imdb.com
is this ****in serious?!?!!?
but if it were a white character and it was titled "frog princess" its fine?
oh and i guess cinderella being a maid, and basically a servant to her step mom and sisters is fine.....as long as shes white right?
this is a complete joke......when will it stop?

Ridiculous. The only insult I would get from "The Frog Princess" would be she was French. And let's face it: the French deserve it. :lol:

This would be funny if it didn't come from the company that made the vilest racist manifesto in modern times: The Lion King.

As for the Frog Princess thing. Meh. I really don't have an emotion one way or the other. Disney is basically trying to not get boycotted by the black community and doesn't want the film to be labeled as racist in any way by them. I suppose the problem is, that once you start changing things, a few white folks will get offended on the flipside.
I find it hard to believe that any of us whiteys can be too offended by this though, right? If you really sit back and think about it, how does any of this offend you?Frumundah Finnatic, Fin D, HardKoreXXX and 1 other person like this. -

im not offended at all. i just find it ridiculous disney folds to the pressure from the black community when it seems they are nitpicking and trying to find any little thing to change about a cartoon movie......

A+B = **** that. grow a pair of balls. or in women's case a vagina.
it's not meant to be racist it's just a setting in a movie and a job.

disney movies have a history of implied racism. its actually pretty funny.
edit: Having said that I think disney has a history of being progressive for their time, as progressive as that can be. -
Meh.
The pendulum swings to each side until it eventually comes to rest in the middle. Extreme racism to extreme anti-racism, racism to anti racism, then eventually white folk won't freak out when the daughter brings home a black guy and the race card won't get played. It takes time, but it'll get there. -

Does that really say Afro-Americans? Did Kramer right this?

I think he's just mad there were no Cubans in The Lion King.

The starting point for this sort of thing should be looking at intent. -

It's funny, because I remember watching an old Jackie Chan movie where the white Americans were the bad guys and thinking it was racist as ****.

And yes, I'm certain racism still occurs in Hollywood.
However..
Why did they choose to make the lead character a black woman?
Is it reasonable to think that in this day and age, Disney decided to make a cartoon for the purpose of intentionally disparaging an ethnic group?
The frog transformed into a princess or prince idea is benign and non racial in it's origins. How does it suddenly turn volatile and racist merely by changing the ethnic origin of the lead character? Honestly, we aren't talking about a non human primate here; we're talking about a frog.
I can agree with the whole maid issue, if the household she is the maid for is white. However, the name change is really a stretch.
But again, I believe that before someone starts crying foul, it would be wise to look closely at intent.SICK likes this. -
And I'm talking more as a whole, I don't care about this to be honest. I think too often these discussions are dismissed by some as mere attempts at guilt and honest discourse does not occur. :up:Sethdaddy8 likes this. -
It's important though to at least inquire. Ask questions. Give someone a chance to explain their actions and/or words. Then decide whether or not you believe their explanation.
In the end, IMO if we expect to make progress then at some point we need to try and give the benefit of the doubt when it's appropriate, rather than always seeing the monsters under the bed. -

If you thought it was racist, you should know it was shot in Canada (not the actual Bronx). After all, only white people live in Canada. :shifty:SICK likes this.
