Quote from: Professor H on July 06, 2019, 09:58:50 AMAnd once again, this is something BigDawg brought upI did NOT start this conversation about what goes down in the Disney executive rooms.So don't come at me sideways with outrageous accusations and assumptions just because I offered my opinion to a question that was posed, and you don't agree with it.We're not in the 5th grade.
Quotesomeone really said ariel can't be black because of science...bitch there is literally a singing crab in the movie & u worried about scientific accuracy. stfu.
Quote from: Professor H on July 06, 2019, 10:09:05 AMI said what I said. It's strategic in my opinion.McDonald's sponsoring Black events and scholarships is ultimately strategic as well. Does that make it any less meaningful for the recipients and attendees? No. They get something out of it.Jesus. Big Dawg brought up the executive room and I spoke my opinion on it.If you don't agree with my opinion .. guess what? It's not the end of the world for ya!

It's marketing.

I doubt it.I think Disney is shooting their shot in this whole "melanin poppin"/Black girl magic era. They see there's money to be made and are going for it.It's to be expected so I'm not clapping for DisneyBut I'm so so happy for those little Black girls who will see this.Yes you can be a princess too. Yes you can be feminine and beautiful.Or it could just be that Halle embodied the character more than any of the other girls that auditioned!!!Like the exec said
