Princess and the Frog

Sqeee!! I’m soo excited!

I mean it’s the first black princess from Disney!(One of the few black people Disney can say proudly they made)

I mean really how many black people have you seen in Disney movies? Even when you would think that there would be a few in there. But I won’t get into that.(Even though I really want to get into that but, that’s another post…)

I’m trying really hard to put the Communication’s Major in the back seat as I hear more and more about this movie.Like the princess.

First there was problems with her name, because the first name was too black. WTF? Her name was Maddy then it get’s it change to Tatiana…Sooo basically you want a black princess who isn’t black? or too black? uggh.

Then you have the prince. First there was an outcry because he was white when the pics of him first came out ,then when the movie was delayed and you saw the new pics of him he got darker.

Still he’s not “black”.This brings the question.Why can’t we have a black prince? I mean  I know interracial dating  is great and all but why this movie? In all the other movies the princess and the princes was of the same ” race”.Why is this any different? Some people think they are trying to appease the Latino community because they are always represented in Disney as animals, specifically chihuahuas.

This really is kinda sad. We get are black princess but not a black prince. What type of message will that send young lack children when they see it?

But still I’m not going to look at it through a Comm Major eye’s. Promise.
