haha…the new world order!!!

BLACK PRESIDENT, BLACK PRINCESS, BLACK PEOPLE ARE COMIN UP…

If they had a black prince they would have had to show him beating her up to make it realistic. (Kidding)

I think this shows some progress, but I think the Prince should be a brother, or at least look like one! Just me!

hmmmmm..ok..i have to think about that one

He’s light skinned-ded.

A Black Prince would never marry a Black woman. Do Black men even marry Black women anymore??? Disney is keeping it real.

LOL @ “Apoc87″.

OF course they can’t have a Black Prince. Then it would be a Black fairytale.. And that’s only allowed during Black history month.. Yall should get a sound bite of that jive talkin cricket.. Reminds me of the frog from Dumbo?.. Disney is the BEAST!

What son cant be light skinned or spanish?

People complain about everything….How about its showing love can happen between any race?

If that was a white princess with a black prince. black females would be a march on washington.

Well I don’t know about all that but there a gang of Naveen’s in the Indian community…my question if he sounded like John Witherspoon, would it matter then?

A Black Prince would never marry a Black woman. Do Black men even marry Black women anymore??? Disney is keeping it real.
_________________-

well c what happened was….

I think the concept is great…

oh lawd have mercy…black folks complain about every damn thing. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…smh…

THAT PRINCE DOES LOOK A LITTLE MEXICAN…

Really if you think about it,the “Disney Prince” is usually some ambiguous race and he is not the focus. If he would have been black then it would be marketed as a black cartoon, instead of a cartoon where the princess so happens to be black.

Of course they should have created a Black Prince for the Princess but I guess its another case of white america giving us just enough to say we’re ‘making progress’… Like they are doing us a favor…? This pisses me off!!

CAN YOU PEOPLE EVEN SEE RIGHT HE DOESN’T EVEN LOOK WHITE. AND ISN’T MOST BLACK FOLKS FROM NO MIXED ANY WAY AND CAN PASS FOR WHITE ????

Whut??

A Black Prince would never marry a Black woman. Do Black men even marry Black women anymore??? Disney is keeping it real.
_________________________

exactly!

It would have to be either or.

black princess with a mixed character or a black prince with a white/asian/light skinned hispanic

kudos to Disney for keeping up with the times

Disney is keeping it real. Prince Charming is not associated with the typical black man. So, I don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing. Hopefully this will encourage young black girls to raise their standards higher and stop settling for the bottom of the barrel.

this is great!!! it’s Halle and Aubrey…. awwwwwwwwwwwww

@ Hannibal

can I call you sometime?

I agree with Nina Knows, black people do we really hate ourselves that much ? We need to make our own heroes, black familys our STILL under attack. I know alot of you don’t feel me or understand but yet I love you anyway.(SMH)

LMAO@ tiababy09

and Christy (“That jive talkin cricket” cracked me up!)

Don’t support this ish! Black love is still alive!

Naveen is an Indian (South Asian – red dot, not feather) name. This character is clearly not a white man. It’s most likely supposed to be a South Asian man. Everybody calm down and at least get your facts straight.

@PM,

What black prince? They don’t exist. Disney is telling the truth. They are just keeping it real. A typical black man doesn’t fit the bill of Prince Charming. So, they can’t portray what doesn’t exist.

On a positive note.. I like that dress Princess…

I am not even mad at Disney. When I look black cartoons, the cute little girls are always beige and the bullys are dark brown. It’s ashamed that it took a white company to give us a dark brown princess. I could care less the color of her Prince as long as she has one. On BET she would have been a dark princess who would have finally got a ring from one of her baby daddies.

Actually its not all that clear… His features are white enough… it’s just Disney playin’ it safe, they are not going to “blackout” the entire animated cast.

Kinda like the Obamas… Barack’s light softens Michelles’s dark which in turns appeases the masses of coloreds that seek a symbol. It’s a ploy called conditioning.

People always gotta complain about ish. First black Disney Princess and it still ain’t good enough. What difference does it make??? Damn sometimes we cry too damn much. Stop caring so much about ethnicities of cartoon characters and start raising our kids in two parent households, staying in school, not going to jail, not selling drugs, not spending the majority of our money on items that depreciate in value, etc, etc, etc.

lol @white devil. he’s kinda right

I like it the way it is, looks cute.

Nothing wrong with that hell brothers are not marrying sisters, anyway so why the hell can’t this cartoon find love in another race.It’s true life, We have to marry out of our race so why not in cartoon go Disney.
And too all them people that have issues with this but always scream hater when we sisters have something to say about Reggie Bush and his girl don’t be hating .

He’s light skinned-ded.
_______________________

lol!! Yea he looks like he’s Rican or something, and everyone knows they are black people too.

@Whutt?

There are even less white men marrying black women than black men marrying black women.

@tiababy,

I think Jasmine was supposed to be Arab.

hey Kigali.. I think this is the part where u take over lol..

@pm

I’m just pointing out the obvious. I bet if we did a national poll on this topic the majority of women would not consider THE TYPICAL black man Prince Charming. So, stop hating on Disney for getting it right by not making him black.

Why is it now have to be a light skin/drak skin issue.People please grow the hell up!!!!

I want a Brazilian prince!!!!

@My2Cents,

Speaking of national polls the black female would figure as the least likely to be marriage material. Thats why more black men are married than black females.

@Chaka1

You have to compete with Brazilian women and I doubt you have what it takes. Those chicks are very pretty.

oh lawd have mercy…black folks complain about every damn thing. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…smh…
————————————————-
Thank you for saying that….
Sorry, but it’s true

@My2cents,

It is really that hard to get attention from a black female? Alls I have to do is show her my prison tattoos and tell her how gangsta I am. LOL.

I am a woman btw.

That Prince CANNOT be lightskinned lol. What lightskin dude you know got hair like that? The name Naveen sounds like the prince from India…Anyways, they kept it gangsta by naming the princess Tiana…lol

@Sydney™

“Kigali, girl, I didn’t know you had royalty in your family, lol.”

Lol….That’s not a female. I’m sure of it.

It would be nice to see more black couples in animation. . .On Charlie Brown, there was Franklin, but I think he was pretty much a loner. The cartoons I recall had the token black girl or boy, but rarely the two of them together.

Here’s the official link for the cartoon, by the way:

disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessandthefrog/

I don’t know if I like the first song I heard too much. . .

@My2Cents

Yeah, Kigali is a female (or so she says). She’s the antithesis of SMDH, lol.

Take everything she says with a grain of salt.

Who cares. So many people are dating outside of their race that this shouldn’t even be an issue.

first off, why does the black chic have to have the one character line synonomous with basically having to screw any and everybody till she finally finds the right love and then he’s not even her ethnicity?

on the otherhand, most black men aren’t sh*t so perhaps thats why,

unless disney is trying to send a sublime to keep light skin alive…

or like one poster said…conditioning…

Those chicks are very pretty
______________________________________

@ Chaka, I think you could compete, If you have ever been to other countries you will notice that the men LOOOOOOOOVE BLACK WOMEN, Hispanic men LOVE black women. Plus, most Brazilian women have their head so far up white men and travelers’ azzes !!

Hey syd , Where has SMDH been i wonder

Hey pm, Mrs. Philly

Oh, SMDH has been around, I think. She may grace us with an appearance, and then we’ll see a real Clash of the Titans, lol. *getting out popcorn*

I agree with Disney…everyone loves the Swirl…and they know white men loves some sistas…

And brothers do need to step their “Prince Charming” game up…and stop asking for head on the first date…this is real life not a rap song!!

Naveen is an Indian name. So yes, he would be Caucasian racially, but not White European. What does it matter anyway? The concept of it is obviously that he is supposed to be ‘exotic’ and from a far off land-hence his ambiguois ethnicity. Stop making issues when there isn’t one!

@me,

Indians are Asian not Caucasian.

Kigali knows that the black woman was THE FIRST WOMAN and is still desired by ALL MEN!!

All men do not like white, latina, or chinese women…EVERY MAN wants the black woman..

Why do you think white women where threatend by Michelle Obama’s arms…i mean her “ARMS” for God sake…imagine if showed her legs.. it would be a wrap!!

Kigali,

You’re becoming more and more of a joke sans the punchline.

Over 60% of black males aren’t married. However, of the ones who are 90%+ are married to black women.

And just because a black man is dating/married to someone of another race doesn’t automatically say squat about his character. I see enough black males in IR carrying on with the silly drama.

There are some black men out there worth celebrating as well as black women…and there are still plenty of black married couples.

Allelujah !

@Swag,

The 2006 Census states clearly the black females arent desired by all men. If they were I assumed more of them would marry black females by as it stands, White men are more desired, then white women, then Asian women, then black men, then Asian men then black females. In fact there are more black men married to white women then there are black women married to men of any other race combined.

Kigali-1
Swag-0

Unless you have some verifiable proof to show otherwise.

Over 60% of black males aren’t married. However, of the ones who are 90%+ are married to black women.
___________________________________________________

I am married to a black man!!

DO I GET A PRIZE?!?!?! lol

@Sydney,

I know right…wait let me get some Nachos and Pretzel with cheese! lol

I dont care what color the prince is, but he looks like a jackass.

Since introducing the idea of this film, b/c of various protests, Disney has had to:

1. Change the name of the princess. (I mean ppl actually stood outside and picketed over the original name.)

2. Darken the prince’s features.

3. Change the prince’s name.

4. Change the prince’s ethnicity.

5. Re-do storyboards depicting “love scenes”.

OYE! All this over a cartoon? I swear if all this energy went into sh1t that mattered, negroes wouldn’t be cemented at the bottom of the food chain.

If the prince were black he would just beat her, impregnate her then leave her

South Park has Token….it’s a start anyway

You know that’s how the world works.

they got some pretty big names voicin this thing

“Well, people are stark raving mad over the fact that Princess Tiana ends up with a white-looking cat named Prince Naveen”…Those people need issues. Those people are racists. Period.

Yeah, Kigali is a female (or so she says). She’s the antithesis of SMDH, lol
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Either that or the AntiChrist.

Disney just needs to go ahead and put the film out there. Forget what the haters say. I’m taking my younger cousins and nieces to see it. Hopefully this will encourage them to stop settling for the bottom and barrel.

How can someone blog about the same old tired subject 5 days a week for years and it not be considered irrelevant. Kigali its about time to hit the showers, eh?

WOW what a group of BIGOTS!!! Being mixed I’m disturbed by the people who are mad… if G-d wanted us to stay in our race he would’ve made us all one race and its for children and they dont see color, thats why so many of you mothafu*kas are so bitter and single because you would rather trip on someones race than love them for being human I hope all you racist bigots burn HATERS!!!!

Sydney™

Yeah, but the last thing any of us want, is to see Rev. Al or the NAACP protesting a damn cartoon with a talking snaggle tooth bug of innocuous ethnic origins.

The 11:36 post is not mine.

I’m out. . .

Well im trying to figure why would this even bother anyone…why wouldn’t you just NOT go see it or show it to your kids, dont support it period…then there is no problem.

Sydney™

@ the fake Sydney

Not today, please. If you have something to say, do it with your actual SN.

The racial issue is neither here nor there to me. I dont care. but doesnt she look like a little girl while he looks grown?

Come on now…Disney can do better than this. Matter of fact I demand the do better than this…don’t buy it people! It’s not that I don’t believe in interracial dating, but damn, why does the Affrican American chick have to end up with “massa/”

Support the dude who does the boondocks cartoon, haha.. If not yourself.. Make him “Our” “Disney”… Walt ate enough…

————————————————–

Why bother to even say anything to me as if I will listen to a word of it???????? Fuk off!!!

He look just like “Prince” the singer… Complexion, hair, wardrobe… Aint he black? ha….

That is not a white prince. When I first saw him, the first thing that came to my mind was hispanic or arab. Then I saw the name “Naveen” and I knew this wasn’t a white prince. Naveen is a common name in India. People, the world is not just black/white.

What he’s totally black! He’s just light skinned. He looks like Rick Fox.

Kigali,

If it weren’t for “ethnic white/Latino” men I wouldn’t had a dating life, muchless a marriage.

And since it’s ESTABLISHED, that black males engage in the same behaviour regardless of their mate’s colour, race, or ethnicty. We seem to have located the problem.

You keep saying that black men are involved in more IR dating than black women. And while this is true IR relationships involving black males don’t have a great success rate. Also no one, and I mean NO ONE engages in IR marriages more than white men. Do you blame white women and apply your same ‘illogic’? Didn’t think so.

When a man is more comfortable blaming EVERYONE [the white man, black women, all women, immigrants, the system, the boule, etc] what we have on our hands is a clown incapable of fending for himself. So building and protecting a family is way too tall of an order. And it’s been this way for decades (if not centuries).

Stop the stupid complaining! Black people could (and should!)make more cartoons depicting ourselves how we wish to be depicted. Stop wanting others to do what we should do for ourselves.

Did Disney create the Proud Family? cuz i liked that show and i dont think they had the family depicted in a poor way.

So much static everywhere about everything

I am just glad that we got a black princess…but we should really start letting all black women know that they are princesses, maybe we wouldn’t be in the current state that we are in now. Anyways, a black prince would be nice but whatever…can’t get everything you want.
F.Y.I. Black men do date black women. I see a beautiful black couple everyday.

If they make it all black it might not get all the play it should..

I think it’s okay as it is, it’ just a damn cartoon and at least the girl isn’t white!

I think it’s awesome! We don’t have to ALWAYS fall in love with some1 of the same color! I think this shows impressionable kids that it doesn’t matter! Black people need to stop living in a box just amongst 1 another…there is a whole big world out there full of all walks of life and it’s time we experience some of it!….

Ermy Erm, yes Disney created Proud Family…they were the average black family but Penny’s best friend with the blond hair was REAL ghetto LOL

Y’all know Disney will just say, “He’s high yellow!”

Ermy Erm, yes Disney created Proud Family…they were the average black family but Penny’s best friend with the blond hair was REAL ghetto LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes indeed she was. Dijonay? what a name and all her sisters and brothers had terrible names, Grey Poupon, Mustard, or something along those lines. LOL

@Nina knows

I agree

wait @ S&J..the names are as follows..

Rosemary, Basil, Nutmeg, Ginger, Paprika, Cinnamon, Tabasco

o me o my. but i still liked that cartoon when it was comin on. I didnt know it stopped comin on 4 yrs ago

@ ermy erm…WOW, lol but hey atleast the main family was decent…and you gotta admit some black folks are like that and have names just like that but BET plays it sometimes on the weekends.

I thought the prince looked more mixed or lightskinned than white…Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Just as long as they have a black herione:)

@BB,

What part of the UK do you live in?

What the heck do you mean by strong? Why do you black females love that word so much? It sounds so ugly for a woman. Try being a lady instead of a meandering billy goat.

@ ermy erm…WOW, lol but hey atleast the main family was decent…and you gotta admit some black folks are like that and have names just like that but BET plays it sometimes on the weekends
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know they have interesting names. I have a friend who’s cousin is named Rashaka AND although most ppl didnt notice it, all the families on the Proud Family had two parent households. Even the Gross sisters. LOL very cool

I don’t think the prince looks “white”. Don’t “we” (Black people) come in different shade?!

It also comes in HANDY when as a WOMAN you have to JUGGLE about 10 things at the time.

YOU can be a LADY and have STRENGTH just as you expect YOUR GENTLEMEN to be a STRONGE MAN.

The three girls that were the bullies. Did Disney make them blue because they are so black they are blue-black?

Well I happen to LOVE black women. They are fine as hell and are a lot more fun to talk to than the usual white girl from the ‘burbs. I wasnt lucky enough to grow up in a very diverse part of the country, but when I did leave home and began to form opinions based on MY actual life and what I SAW, I was awestruck by how cool most of the black women I dated were and how lame it was that I had been denied women of all races, given my proximity to Canada. (;

iLuvYelloBoyz

Kigali,

You’re becoming more and more of a joke sans the punchline
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LOL, and how

the prince is cute, and he does not look either like all the other white princes from disney, he looks like he could be anything white, biracial, latino, etc…people need to stop. we could try to at least in fantasy world like disney pretend that stuff about race doesnt matter and people are happy there and not racist!!!! ugh god, !!!!

@ThatMixEdchick! lol drum roll please.. and the comment of the day goes too ..

Princess has good taste. Blacks make up atleast 50% of the reported HIV cases. I ain’t checking for the brothas easy.

I have no problem with the prince but why her hair can’t be in an afro or some dreads or cornrows. Black people need to reach their children that even if they want to straignten out they hair that nothing wrong witht he natural look and that it could be fit for a princess as well. I’m sure they had a black person consulting on this during development.

@THAT MIXED CHICK,

YEP NAVEEN IS CUTE! REMINDS ME OF A SEVENTH WARD HARD HEAD! -PEOPLE FROM NOLA KNOW BOUT DAT!

What does it matter abt the guys skin color….I like the idea there is so much interracial dating and marrying so there is nothing wrong with it .

Tarzan had dreads .he also had monkey friends I aint gonna touch that ….

@ EtherUtopia

Ok There is just tooooo much wrong withyour comments.

1. It’s a cartoon, it’s not really that serious.
2. Most (I’m not gonna say all because there are racists) white people don’t sit at home plotting how to control black people.. it just doesn’t happen.
3.”because the society doesn’t recognize her true racial identity—is always either an imitation Black woman or an imitation White woman.” I am not an “imitation” anything. I am a proud, intelligent, biracial woman.
4. I feel sorry for people like you. You”re so wrapped up in race and ethnicity that you’ll never see how beautiful the world really is.

Well, usually a story about a princess has a fairytale ending, so it’s only natural that she not end up with a black prince. If she ended up with a black prince she’d end up taking over some of his child support payments. Having to support him and his kids. He’d try to have his baby’s mama move into the castle with them so he can sneak in and out of her room at night…it would be an awful ending….

QQ

Tiana….really…..

The three girls that were the bullies. Did Disney make them blue because they are so black they are blue-black?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought it was cuz they were bad/evil. cuz remember the episode when Penny was sent to BootCamp and she rebelled and became a bully? didnt they turn her pigment blue to represent she had went over to the dark side?

If they wanted a black prince, the princess would have had to be light bright, because thats the only way a brother would think she was a fairy tale beauty. A also it’s new orleans he may be creole. I say shut up stop complaining and enjoy the damn cartoon.

@Ermy Erm is Disillusioned with Society
The proud family was created by a black man.. blame him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blame him for what? *lost*

By the way…he doesn’t look white to me either

@Ermy Erm

People were mad that Dijonay’s sisters were named tobasco,paprika and whatever. I was just saying it was created by a black man. Lol

YEP NAVEEN IS CUTE! REMINDS ME OF A SEVENTH WARD HARD HEAD! -PEOPLE FROM NOLA KNOW BOUT DAT!

——–

I lived in NO and I still visit alot. What part are you talking bout because I see more dudes with dark skin and dreads trying to holler than the latter. The type of dudes that make you hold on tighter to your purse and shit. I know every girl and they mama claimed to be Creole or Indian. Black as tar and screaming about “my grandmother was creole, my daddy indian, and my mama is rican.” . . . . . Shame.

black men and white woman have been doing their part to fuel the fire on America’s melting pot for years and I pledge to continue on in the process.

don’t feed into what kigili has to say. he/it/she is only trying to get a rise out of you. how about we all bow our heads and pray for him/her/it…”forgive him/her/it father for he/she/it knows not what he/she/it does…” Take my hand kigili, and know that God loves you even though you spew such self hatred…come on everybody, lets give her/him/it a big ol’ internet hug!!! Awwww, don’t cry, it will be okay…tissue for him/her/it?

I don’t think the prince is white. Naveen is a popular name for males in South Asia, so Disney might be trying to be really multicultural with a black/brown swirl.

menomineenation,
You are cute. Ever thought about dating a lake monster?

@EtherUtopia

Real talk, you’re spitting some real knowledge…I just wish we could all get past racial division…

@EtherUtopia

While you touched on key points in your comment the only issue i take up with you is the one directed toward lighter skinned women. I myself am a darker skinned sistah but my mother is light, my aunts are light and my grandmother is light and they in no way shape or form ever been an imitation black woman or imitation white woman.

It sometimes amazes me how some people can be so PRO-BLACK that they begin to cause the same division in the black community that they blame white people for. I’m all for Pro blackness and being proud of ourselves cause we ALL know there is enough hatred of the black race out there, even on this blog site, but the time has come for black people to stop trying to figure out just how black each one of us are. I’m particularly proud when someone who isn’t (as your standards perceive) 100% black acknowledges themselves as only that because it lets me know that everyone wants to be like us.

Its time out for that seperation theory, we as black people (men and women) can no longer blame anybody else for our misfortunes, this is a new year and a new generation, if we are held back its because we choose to be held back. No white male or female has anything to do with whether i succeed or not because i am the master of my own future and sucess..

and to the people throwing the brothers under the bus on this post that’s so childish all you are doing is perpetuating the stereotypes that the media shows. if all you know is the black man with the numerous baby mothers, the bad credit and the low self esteem then maybe you need to change your surroundings, because that speaks volumes as to who you are and who you socialize with.

and to the people on here bashing the black women, get over it. for us to be so shiftless, ghetto, ignorant and rank (as you put it) why does the world try so bad to be like us? and those negative traits are not black women traits they are IGNORANT women traits and IGNORANT women come in all colors and shapes. I know nothing but strong, beautiful, black women because that’s what i surround myself with. You are who commune with! so if all you know is shiftless, lazy, ignorant black women then you must be shiftless, lazy and ignorant yourself. People who make blanket generalizations about a WHOLE group of people are nothing but the confirmation of their own stereotype….

and this is a STRONG, MARRIED, BEAUTIFUL SISTAH SIGNING OFF….:)

I know a baby named ABCDE (Ab-suh-dee)
Sigh

OH NO!!!!! Omg now see that mess is ridiculous!! Cursed that child for life

I don’t think EtherUtopia is saying that light-skinned women consider themselves imitations or that other blacks do, I think what she is saying is that that’s what the original intent was in terms of conspiring against the strenght of our race. I’m a light-skinned woman and I come from a family of light-skinned women and I didn’t get offended. I just think that she was touching on all the things that were more than likely conspired dating centuries back. And @lilith82 I agree with what you said about us choosing to be held back and we do need to end the division….FOR REAL! It’s getting really old…

@MagMile: Yes it does look like Rick Fox.
ARTOFWAR:
Yes, that is a whole other bag of tricks. the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side.
There is another man in Poland who did the same thing.
Men are men. period.

I don’t c anything wrong with this cartoon. It’s friggin’ 2009 already.

However, Disney is playing it SAFE because they know that a cartoon with a black prince and a white princess would never fly. It’s the same reason Halle, Kerry, Sanaa, and them could have an on-screen romance with white men, with no adverse effect on their careers.

Denzel and Will KNOW they damn well betta not!

double standards…. double standards….

That’s because he probably has a good job, money saved in the bank, a 401K, health insurance, no kids, his own home/apartment, a decent car, good credit, has the self-discipline not to f*ck every woman he sees, isn’t a heavy weed smoker and is not verbally or physically abusive.

Prince Naveen isn’t White perhaps he’s British, Latino and South Asian, lol. And there’s nothing wrong with her name being Tiana, relax it’s a cartoon, lol…

Although there are some good brothers out there, many african american men are just dying to experience other race/culture (white) women. That is fine because we all know that one does not choose the person that you are attracted to, but african american women are going to have the same options. I predict that eventually the white male is going to let black men have the white woman, as white males expand their own circles. In the past it has not been fully socially acceptable for the white male to wife up other race women – this does not indicate that there is no attraction on the part of the white male for the african american woman, contrary. There will eventually be an overall power shift that places the black female next to the white male regarding the power structure; the white female really has no power other than that which is granted by white males in her circle. It is just a matter of time before white men realize how womderful black women are. In some circles, that is already beginning to happen!

@ royal chocolate

u described my prince charming!

@ EtherUtopia

I never thought of it in that sense, I always thought about it in the sense of the laws and rules of genetics, and that is black is the dominate gene, therefore it takes precedence over other genes. However, I do feel that mainstream America (govt) is really pushing for interracial relationships between blacks and whites, as a means to waterdown the black race or completely extinguish it completely through gradual mutational changes. It’s happening already.

@Royal Chocolate ..heavy weed smoker verbally or physically abusive. Is BET doing a Bachelor type show.

Did they erase my comment? How dare they! I guess you can’t talk about Barack like that up in here!

Black men date white women because…. who really gives a damn.

When you look at them, I mean really look at them, what do you see? Nothing.

If they want to date a white, asian, latino, purple woman who care.
I am mixed so I shouldn’t date outside my race? But my mother is creole and my father is Italian. So I guess I cannot date an asian cause that is the onlyt hing that is left.

Anyways, as Rodney king said can’t we all just get along?

*or completely extinguish it through gradual mutational changes.*

HOW IS ANYONE WITH MINIMAL INTELLIGENCE CONFUSED BY THE ETHNICITY OF THE MALE CHARACTER NAVEEN??? NAVEEN IS AN INDIAN NAME AND YOU CAN EASILY GOOGLE THIS FACT. NAVEEN ANDREWS IS ON THE SHOW LOST AND HE IS CLEARLY OF INDIAN ETHNICITY. INCITING ANGER IN YOUR READERS OVER UNFOUNDED BIAS CLAIMS IS CONFIRMATION OF THE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN AND OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE OF PROPAGANDA!

Naw, Naveen is an Armenian name and everybody knows that means WHITE.

BWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

MISSMILA,

Naveen Andrews is so cute.

since she is a princess, where is her kingdom? Does she marry into one or what?

c from stl,
Well said!! I agree.

@swagaliocious
if black women are the best, then why do we have multiple babymamas,ghetto, loud annoying, mostly sinlge, black women here. and also have the most disease too. girl stop being delusional okay.

Everybody who says things like “all black men/women r/do this, that, and the other”

I would guess perhaps the problem is U and who U associate with…

…wallow in garbage, eventually u will smell like it.

to the dude who has problem with black women, there are many other races of women who are submissive and trat you like a king. my wife of 12yrs is half italian and half dominican and she is GREAT. she is submissive, never cheated always taking care of me and the kids and she is very loyal and honest. explore sir there anre MANY

excuse my typos

BTW, u would be suprized that there many other races who love black men.

@asada.. hell no she don’t have her own Kingdom, Princess Tiana a goldigger..remember Disney is keeping it real.

A black prince would have been nice, but I think it is more controversial to have her with a white-ish looking cat. And anyway, she should just be with the prince that makes her happy.

Im so glad Disney is gonna push the issue. It is true that this film will cause problems all the way around but ya know damn it, it needs to be brought up.

People need to be uneasy with their outdated insecurities.

Thx Lochness….are u a good looking sea creature?

Just be real for a moment. This is still a white “owned” entity. Jasmine was written for white children.

White Males are only into the Beyonce’s and Halle’s of the world. hell Beyonce maybe too “thick” for their tastes.

It just reinforces our self-worth as black people can only be attained when we are with someone of another race. Achievement so to speak.

I’m sure Princess Tiana would never dream her little tale of romance would spark a black men vs. black women war. . .

@Ermy

“I guess out of all those 200 women you were with and whom all burned you to make you think that they after your money, had nothin to do with you eh?

and 200? Yikes”

LOL, I thought the same thing — Um, is that really something you should advertise. Those sound like Wilt Chamberlain numbers. . .

Yuck.

*something you should advertise?*

@lala

That’s the exact point I was making…lol But let’s not pre-judge him b/c he hasn’t answered yet…

@ johnny

Naveen is an Indian (South Asian – red dot, not feather) name. This character is clearly not a white man. It’s most likely supposed to be a South Asian man. Everybody calm down and at least get your facts straight.

….da hell going on in here….

LOL at Colonel Stinkmeaner…like he just walked in on his kids breaking furniture…

@ White Devil

With a white prince, now she has to worry about him being a serial killer or another Jeffry Darmer, maybe he might want to lock up one of their daughters in the basemant or a dungeon for 20+ years raping and procreating with his own daughter, or maybe he might become frustrated with his job or life in general and decide to kill his co-workers, then come home and kill her and the children and then himself, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. (NOT kidding)

Hey,

I think that if they’ve shown all of the former cartoon protagonists with people just like them “Princess Tiana” deserves the same!!

Hell what else is a black princess to do? I mean, where is she going to find a black prince with a castle and servants? Go on and get your swirl on, Princess Tiana. Haters be damned.

@tiababy – what part of jasmine did you gather that she was a white princess did you not realize she was arabian? hence the arabian night.

aside from that, as far as the prince his name is naveen is an indian name.

@ johnny

Naveen is an Indian (South Asian – red dot, not feather) name. This character is clearly not a white man. It’s most likely supposed to be a South Asian man. Everybody calm down and at least get your facts straight

@lala
wow u are ignorant and eccentric. i have never laid my hands on my wife and vice-versa, u are so pathetic, i do not communicate with dumb broads like you, might catch something. i bet you are single or either a babymama. GOD HELP YOU SOUL.

Black people aint gonna fade out because usually when some one comes of mixed race they marry the blackest thing that they can find and bring back the black. That is why white supremacist hate race mixing cause they are the one who stand the greatest chance of being exstinct

@Doc,

It doesnt make sense that they would be considered Caucasian. In England for instance, an Asian person is a Pakistani, Indian or Bangladeshi. Here in America they are considered Indian. Caucasian… it doesnt make sense. Its really only in America where Asian is synonymous with East Asian. Ha has a lot to do with the demographics of South Asians in the country and the history of BRitish colonialism.

i have a joke:

what comes with a black barbie?

It comes with 12 kids, AIDS and a welfare check. LMAOOO

All this over some lines, with colours painted inside them.

@bb,

My girl lives in Surrey. I liked it there. I stay in Brum when I am not in California.

Disney is just reflecting reality. There are a lot of white men chasing after black women.

I am not liking the name…Is the fairy godmother going to be named Shaniqua! And I know a little something about unusual names…

Although there are some good brothers out there, many african american men are just dying to experience other race/culture (white) women. That is fine because we all know that one does not choose the person that you are attracted to, but african american women are going to have the same options. I predict that eventually the white male is going to let black men have the white woman, as white males expand their own circles. In the past it has not been fully socially acceptable for the white male to wife up other race women – this does not indicate that there is no attraction on the part of the white male for the african american woman, contrary. There will eventually be an overall power shift that places the black female next to the white male regarding the power structure; the white female really has no power other than that which is granted by white males in her circle. It is just a matter of time before white men realize how womderful black women are. In some circles, that is already beginning to happen!

@ We “Blacks” Are The Real Hebrew Israelites

“Most of you guys have No idea how the media is used to manipulate and subversively control the the masses”

You are so right. It has been predominately the white media that have potrayed and displayed the “black image” as being inferior and anything negative, going back to “Amos and Andy” and “Stepin Fetchin”. We were ALWAYS potrayed in some subservient or bufoonish role. They also potrayed negative images of other people as well, Asians, Mexicans, Jews, Indians or anyone that was not white.

Bullshit…Nuff said

C from stl.. are you part White?

@c from stl
you mentality of you generalizing about men having a submissive wife and treating them like crap really sickens me. that is why you see all other couples making it except from african americans. even africans have that submissive chemistry and do not believe in divorce. all i know is me and my wife have been together for 12yrs so you do the maths and tell me what we are doing wrong. everything is fine and i wish u luck with you and your man and i hope it lasts. peace

ps: u kinda remind me of those people who are friends of wives and tell them to concentrate on their man’s cell phone and see if he is cheating, just because the marriage is doing good. just saying

I’ll bet their next cartoon will feature a lily white princess (as usual) with a big strapping Mandingo brotha, and then you’ll have problems with that too! Get over it.

Seriously, does this matter, it’s only a cartoon! The prince doesn’t even look white, he looks Indian… he’s called Naveen, for God’s sake! How many white men are called Indian names?!? Bloody Yanks.

I think you are getting way too defensive and serious. I’m not attacking you nor am I trying to say that all women who are submissive have abusive husbands. What I am saying is that in today’s society it is interesting how many women are very submissive but don’t get the same respect back from their husbands…I know alot of these type of couples. However, as I stated before the way you describe me or assume me to be is sooooo far away from how I really am. I don’t put my nose in other people’s relationships/marriages (because I am too involved in my own) nor do I focus in on petty details to try and catch a man up. I don’t go through my man’s phone and he doesn’t go through mine because we both trust each other. I think you missed my point because my original intent was to prove that there can be some men that DO NOT fall into the stereotypes, however your jumping to conclusions about me and strong defensiveness kind of makes me give you the side eye. You could have done like me and just came out and asked me if I fit those descriptions that you have already nicely put me in. That’s precisely why I ASKED you how you treat your wife. If you two are good, then great, that’s one more happy couple that does not fall into statistics….as said before, good day…

I think it’s important to address the hue issue because that’s the antithesis to black unity. Both light and dark members of the black races carry pain. We won’t heal from the psychologically inflicted wounds of skin color until we acknowledge it from both sides – and then confront and understand the TRUE dynamics of a global system of white minority domination.

Thank you Leeha & C from Stl (right on, sistahs!) and Ara. You guys get it.

@Lilith82 – refer to C from Stl’s comment. She’s a wise woman.

I love all human beings. Does that mean I should be naive to what’s going on in the world – particularly in the affairs of indigenous peoples (black and brown nations)? Should I ignore the big picture?

Unlike most of you, I’m not impressed with white folks. I am unequivocally and unapologetically black. I love and embrace my blackness – and connection to Africa. Suffice to say I’ve come across some whites and Latinos who love and embrace their African heritage more than blacks.

American art is build off of the degredation of black people. America did not have its own culture until minstrels shows and things of that nature. Film, music, everything was based on this and has been every since. “Birth of a Nation” the first real American film celebrated our degredation and the crackers loved it. As a matter of fact the Gershwin Award that Pres Obama presented to Stevie Wonder is named for Charles Gershwin who is considered the first American composer. His first claim to fame was a song called “Swannee” that he preformed in blackface. Exploiting Black people is the core of American culture thats just what it is. It’s been working for all of these years and its not going to change. It is all about imitating or degrading us. They can’t come up with stuff on their own right.

Caucasian is a scientific term that has little to do with skin colour contrary to popular belief and colloquial use caucasians come from Europe west africa (the horn) and south asia

Who cares if the Prince is looking white. he could be mixed like Obama. Black woman are not just beautiful to black men.

@MY BAAD
i was actually calm, what i do hate is when people are quick to criticize me and don’t even know me. it’s kinda irritating. i do not care what other people think, i actually think that someone who sees other people doing good and therefore ask questions, are not either doing good, OR have had a bad past.so what does that tell you and other??? hmmmmm

Disney is only portraying what they see in the real world. Prince Charming is NOT considered a Black Man. I think they are sending the right message to these young girls. Stop settling for the deadbeat black guy and shoot for the better man who is probably of a different race.

I read c from stl statement and i think that it was great that SHE wasnt offended but just because you didnt offend one didnt mean you didnt offend another. the way your statements reads
_____________________________________________________
“Notice the Black leader in America. He is usually influenced by the loving, ultra-supportive well meaning white or non-black wife—the White man’s mother, or by the high yellow wife who, because the society doesn’t recognize her true racial identity—is always either an imitation Black woman or an imitation White woman.”
_________________________________________________ you are speaking in a present tense hence you are speaking about the today’s “high yellow” woman not about the one from centuries past. and no where in my post did i say you shouldn’t be happy about being black or that there was something wrong with being Pro black, i said that there is a problem when you’re so Pro black that you begin to seperate blacks dependent upon how much “blackness” they have in them or how much they are so to speak diluted. I thought your post was very insightful i just didnt agree with the statement underlined above.

Educated black man are you sayin women of other races dont cheat? there are ppl who cheat in every race. men and women

I see it from both perspectives. I can understand why it would be nice for them to both be the same “hue” but it’s just a cartoon but in real life more and more men of her shade don’t like women looking like her so people really shouldn’t complain too much.

so irrelevant!!!! “submissive” is not a good term to use to decribe ur wife. Usually submissiveness does not equate to happiness. but i guess it’s in ur happiness formula.

hey.. to each its own

@MY BADD
that is were you are wrong, submissiveness = happiness. so far a man is also good to his wife.e.g my marriage.

@MY BADD

Are you mixed the two words: Submissive & compliant?

These are 2 different words and meaning’s.

@ eb man

like i said.. i am absolutely with u on the “experience other races” i believe in that whole heartedly. one might discover theyre not so different after all.

typo……mixing

Why does the prince have to be black. Black men don’t wife black women anymore. It’s time for black women to exercise their options, instead of fighting with five other women to get one black man or end up raising her kids on her own.

No offense but I do not know many black men willing to marry a black woman, so this is actually somewhat correct. (SARCASM)

@ tiray

“submissiveness is usually not a sign of happiness but a sign of compliance.”

how am i saying these words have the same meaning? stop here. plz exit the vehicle.

@my badd
thank you, u are the only smart woman in this forum.

I think that women & men can both be compliant.

I see the problem with a lot of women.
Today’s women are so into getting respected”, that they have missed the fact that they already are.

Women are living single, because of the inner struggle ,trying to be ,instead of realizing that they ARE!!

THINK

@ eb man

as i said.. i guess submissiveness is in ur happiness formula… to each its own.. enjoy!!!!

Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and Indians were considered “blacks” in the UK before the Stephen Lawrence incident. They are now considered Asians. All women are fed fairytales at a young age, I just wonder why a fairytale aimed at black girls has a nonblack male? What is the hidden message. I am skeptical of Disney. Had friends that worked there and referred to it as The Rat (for Mickey Mouse).

Honestly,you can’t speak for a submissive person,unless you are. We have no idea ,if a submissive person is happy or not,until you are that person.
For some people,compliance IS happiness.

I don’t know where this trash that posts up here came from. I know plenty of decent black men and women. Some of yall need to get out of your surroundings cause if sterotypical images of black people is all you see you need to get out more. I don’t have any friends or family members (male or female) with a bunch of kids and foolishness, As a matter of fact all of my friends and cousins are havig babies now and they are married and in there 30′s. Its sad you all don’t know any decent black people.

The thing I hate is that Disney always like “to lighten up” good black fairytale stories. If this was an animation set in a poor ghetto, I bet Disney wouldn’t have any problems putting a dark skin kinky hair man.

oh gosh its a damn character for crying out loud lol whew wee! folks up in here getting high blood pressure for nothing. She’s a beautiful princess and do they hell what if her name is tiana! i mean really? a name does not make a person, but the character does. uuugh expand your horizons!!!

Cont’d – Kola Boof…

WHY IT MATTERS….

As the World Media is now trying to capitalize on our self-hatred and ENCOURAGE us that it’s “better” to breed….AWAY….from our origins and our place of “Knowing”……many Blacks, worldwide, are being Ultra-sensitive to the fact that we are being represented by a Mulatto/Mixed BUFFER RACE that doesn’t really reflect “our humanity” and especially not our “total experience”.

This is like going to the campus at SPELMAN and seeing a “Black Women’s Conference”—-only to notice that every single black woman on the panel is yellow, red and light brown (which is usually the case) with a Kinte cloth thrown over her shoulder. All my life in the U.S.—I have seen this—-where “dark skinned” males are allowed to represent BLACK PEOPLE, but not dark skinned women.

MOST Black American women are still darker than a paper bag and have African hair—-but in the Media, the vast majority of images of Black American women are represented by YELLOW or Light Brown women, very often Bi-racial and Mixed Race.

From Johnetta B. Cole to Julianne Mulveaux…to Halle Berry…..to news anchors like Carole Simpson….to the WIVES of most black men who “married black”……there is OVER-representation of Light Skinned women.

And that is….racist.

As the reality of “colorism” continues to be an emerging TOPIC/ISSUE and as those who have traditionally suffered the most from it—dark skinned people (“authentic” blacks)—their is a groundswell of rage and accumulated hurts, injustices that is forming an ANALYSIS of just….who IS us…..and who is not.

Complicating this analysis is the fact that some mixed people, ie. Malcolm X (my hero), Barack Obama and Julianne Mulveaux (I love her!)…..are BLACKER than many “authentic” black folks….ie. Clarence Thomas, Wesley Snipes and Montel Williams.

Race and Color…..DO MATTER….because it’s been proven for a thousand years now that once people become mixed with White Blood—they wish to maintain that status and usually turn against the black origins, forced to shun it in order to keep their kids from “staining” the new skin. And as well….MANY dark black Africans are also reluctant to be bastardized by the blood of the invaders.

Do you know anything about anyone, anywhere.

@everyone:
This is just the precursor to the gay version of Prince Charmer and Prince Charming. Remember, this is Disney.

The fact is the vast majority of black people are married to or dating other black people. It’s just a very tiny percent of black people married to or dating outside their race. The animation should have depict the majority.

When Disney create their animation geared for white audiences, they don’t put white princesses dating/married to another race. They put white with white. Not until they mixed up their white princesses/princes, will I accept something like this.

@etherutopia
Where I’m from most mixed people or light people date the darkest thing they can find especially the women, but the men too. That is wh I don’t give much attetion to light men because since I am dark i feel like they used me sometimes to validate thier blackness (kinda like the kente cloth that you refered earlier lol)

@ EtherUtopia

Thank you for your words. It is important to explain the color issue and you expressed its complexity effortlessly and concisely. There is so much more on this topic, but what is most important is for people to understand that it is NOT just a cartoon… there are so many overt and subliminal messages that we must pay attention. We will continue wearing blond weave down to our waste, accepting Oscars for B.S. and not requiring real reputations of ourselves if we keep saying “whatever”.

Again Tiana is a cartoon princess, she not real ! Lol
Damn, every one is so emotionally involved in this dicussion concerning Tiana and her Prince, lol. Since Black people feel this cartoon fairy tale doesn’t represent properly then learn how to draw, animation, and a some computer graphics and creat your own cartoon. Me personally I wouldn’t create a story about a fairy tale, because fairy tales don’t exist it’s a fantasy. I’d create a cartoon that would be a fusion of fantasy yet an element of reality thrown in. About the prince I think he’s South Asian, but don’t most Indian males chase after White chicks ?

@ eva da diva

malcolm x talks about this dynamic in his book.. basically kinda why his mom and dad were attracted to each other. i can say that w/ mixed blood in my veins i gravitate towards very dark men b/c i feel very attracted to men w/ african features… this could be b/c of many things. i have dated very light men and white men but something seems insincere when i date white men. i really see black as beautiful, it’s not a slogan for me and i try to use my life as a testimony that barak obama and michelle obama are not the only black people in this world that are family oriented, educated, confident, fearless and don’t subscribe to the stereotypes put before them and one of them is… including being dark is a stain

NAVEEN is a name from… INDIA…

Prince Naveen looks suspect to me

@Read carefully

I am sure you meant well, but that book was to damn long to read!

Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Tatiana is a name of Slavic/Romanian origin; however, it’s popular in many countries, including Latin countries: Romania, Russian, Italy, South America, etc…

She could be Afro-Hispanic/Latino, Afro-french, North African from a former french/spanish territory, Southeast Asian-French/Italian, Black/Mixed Romanian, Indo-Aryan-Romanian, Dark skinned Gypsy/Roma, Black Russian, Eritrean, Somalian…a number of things. Maybe she’s from one of the former French territories between East Africa and West Indian, like Reunion.

Naveen is a name of of Indian origin, but it’s popular across the Desi diaspora. He could be Arab (black or white arab) Berber, Persian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Northeast African, Indian, Indo-Aryan, South Asian, Asian, Muslim…a number of things.

People want to call her black because of her dark skin. Why be so simple? Human bloodlines, culture and society is much more intricate than what these simplistic social race labels indicate. And love is more powerful than any boundary.

Get over race people. All of our bloodlines, no matter what we look like, are inter linked…

@ Naija boy

Relax. It’s not my fault you live in a Sh*thole of a country.

wow big deal, my dad is a king and my mom is a queen and i am a prince and my sisters are princesses, who gives a f*ck.. and im nigerian too so i ain’t lying.

BTW the white dude is Moroccan, how do i knw? because i have a friend with the same name from morroco.

@whiteboy
b*tch n*gga shut the f*ck up i live in new orleans, and second of all this ain’t ur country, white wigger. This country was/is owned by the native americans, u white crackas stole it juts like how y’all come to our country and steal our oil. stupid b*tch.

@white boy
and i bet u could never say this to my face.. f*ckboy

***Looking for SessyQ***

People stop complaining…Disney is trying to appeal to everyone and it works for me because there has never been a black princess before. And I am looking for my white..latino..asian or black prince so the concept works for me. I also concur with chloe about showing love can come from any person… this is a far cry from the racist past of disney so let’s just enjoy.

Wasn’t the late Walt Disney a racist?

@Lee.

They say we was racist and homophobic, but hey we didn’t know that guy.

And Prince Naveen looks East Indian to me, but maybe I’m just looking to much into it.

*princess’*

Naveen respresents the east indian culture like the actor Naveen Andrews of “Lost” fame.

@ chloe

The race of the prince does matter Chloe, especially since little black girls will be seeing this film like you’ve already mentioned. So a black prince can’t give the love, affection, and respect this little princess deserves? What the hell is that about. It’s disrepectful!

Have you seen any white or non white disney princess involved in some interacial relationship or courtship? Disney is definitely trying to take a swing. I know it’s 2009 and racism shouldn’t be so big of an issue but it is.

I’m so sick of people being brainwashed that it’s gone because we have a black president.

And on that note it was only a land slide on the electoral college portion of the election. When it came to popular vote Obama and McCain were close! So NOT ALL white people were with the change and off race!!

@ Good Intentions
Naveen looks suspect to me. LOL!! You know you are just wrong!!

… y do ppl come on blogs to spread their hate against a general group of ppl? What does it say about a person when they thrive in putting others down? Some of you most lead very sad lonely and pathetic lives. esp those like Kigali and Marquis De Sade n SMDH.

@Read Carefully

Thank you for your very thoughtful posts (and EtherUtopia’s posts were very informative as well — thank you). Although some may pass over it because of its length, it was well worth the read — and I liked your citation of historical examples.

“) While the stereotype is that most famous black men date or marry white women, this has actually gone both ways historically. Doroth Dandridge, Josephine Baker, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll, all famous black female stars from the 1940s through the 1970s, dated or married White men. There were many more, just naming some of the big names. So it seemed as though famous blacks in general felt the need to marry or date across color lines. This is never mentioned in most discussions though, it is made to seem as though only black men did this, in fact…”

Very true — In fact, I had a conversation with my mother over the holidays after the death of Eartha Kitt (who also had relationships with white men), and she gave me a list of black actresses, such as the women you named, who were linked with non-black men. It was eye-opening, to say the least.

“It is unfair to generalize negatively about black men as a whole, just as any self-respecting black woman would get upset hearing a black man making negative generalizations about black women. I am against the negative attacks on BOTH sides, we should not be putting each other down. If black America is to progress, what is needed are strong black families based on two parent homes.”

Another good and astute point.

anyone still here? how can u put a pic up

This comments section proves African Americans are a VERY racist/insecure people.

@LEEAH

Thanks.

@Harlem World

Allow me to apologize for the black women who sought to only spite you but for everyone that will, there is one who won’t.

I too have dated black men with baggage and if i were to roll it over to the proceeding relationship, I would never have one. Whenever you have a preconceived notion in this case, you metaphysically get what you expect.

What you should do is set youreself some standards and take no shorts. I support my mate in every way and I am loyal and I respect him and let him be him. I don’t ever ask him for anything unless it takes four hands and it’s too many diseases in the world to be infected with and stupid to take the risk knowing I have safety right at home.

On the otherhand, I feel the same way as you do about Black men because of the multiple race of women I know who constantly complain about you and I have experience dating a many confused brothers no matter how cool I was to them. I won’t knock your opinion, just want to share with you a resolution.

@Illuminate Truth

That is so true. I read with interest the post from the young man who spoke about the ‘baggage’ that Black Women bring. In truth, the Black woman has not had the luxury of having someone to slay her dragons, open her doors, and rescue her. The position of Blacks in society dictated that she take an active role in providing for her family, keeping them safe, and serving as a buffer between the Black male and a very hostile world. In that sense, we owe our very existence to the strong Black woman, however the very thing that has saved us and allowed us to flourish as a race(an independent Black Woman) has also become something that Black men find intimidating. We are strong because we have had to be. No one pays attention when we cry, our tears do not have the same effect as the white womans – when she cries everybody stops what they are doing to find out what is wrong and how they can help. Nobody, sadly not often even the Black male, does that for us – they don’t care why we are crying. We are left to solve our own problems by any means necessary. And that, my friend, will make you strong.

@ C from stl

educated black man is guilty as hayle. That’s why he’s on the defense. lmao.

i know yall like the palm of my hand. anyway. go head.

@Educated Black Man

why are women supposed to be submissive to men? why can’t both parties involved just love the sh*t out of one another and treat one another better they treat themselves? That’s balance.

[...] SOURCE [...]

Disney then =Jungle Book ,Disney Now = Jungle Fever Love it ppl its called CHANGE make friends wid it.

Well black men dont date black women anymore. (just kidding but its true)

Based on most of these statements, I’m assuming written by black people, it’s quite clear, many black people just don’t get it!

You have almost zero concept of what importance it is to protect your racial identity and fall into the typical programming thoughts like “oh, color dosen’t matter” ect…

You will find very, very few races other than dumb black people who say this stuff let alone actually believe it. Now some will say this crap, but behind doors it’s a totally different story. Blacks seem to be the only ones still falling for this type of okey doak…

I mean if this stuff was so true, why don’t you have a Black prince with a white girl? I mean lets just be honest for a change. Do you really think the people that handle this stuff would be so “progressive” when it comes to the imagery their children are subject to? Answer: NOT

Yet you still got good ole golly jeez negros out here still “wishing upon a star”…

damn, it took for angelina jolie to say somethin to Disney for not havin a black princess for them to finally do it lol…. i have no problem with it, im just glad the princess looks black, African decent

I’m sorry but a lot of the comments I assume coming from Black women are just ignorant.

You know damn well if it was a Black Prince with a White or Latina Princess. Ya’ll be throwing a hissy fit.

The Black Genders seem only to look out for themselves.

JUST LET YALL KNOW NAVEEN IS AN INDIAN NAME. NOT A WHITE NAME. SO HE COULD BE INDIAN, AND I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN….

@ Black Woman on this post- Just be glad that the white man is finally checking for you, even if it’s only in the cartoons. haha just kidding, I personally love your evil asses.

well maybe the princess isn’t black maybe she is dark skinned brazilian i mean look at her hair her boyfriend is close to white with a accent, she seems to not be black but brazilian unless they have a just4me kit in her kingdom

He looks tan, plus his name is Naveen so he’s probably indian. LOL @ Whut??’s comment. SO TRUE.

i always liked the man with good hair

He look as black as Mr President to me

@ budluv:
Your comment just proves the other posters’ comments about people losing their identity and consciousness. I don’t know if you are Brazilian. A dark skin Brazilian? Don’t you mean Black Brazilian or Afro South American? What is the aversion of saying Black Brazilian or Afro-Brazilian? That comment shows why so many of Brazil’s poor are black. Brainwashing. Yes, Brazil is very mixed, but that obviously hasn’t improved how many view themselves or how they are living.

i thought the price looks latino no?

If that was a white princess with a black prince. black females would be a march on washington.

LOL

You guys need to check out the Black Celebrity Kids site to see what I am talking about. ALLLLLLL THE KIDS ARE MIXED/LIGHT/GREEN EYED. A lot of black men have a complex and it is sad.

Oh I have a princess tale, but the female lead isn’t a real princess, but she’s a trust fund baby, lol. Her name is Brie Abercrombie. And her new guy will be look like Jim Jones, he’ll work at a Silican Valley like computer firm and he’ll be sort of nerdy with glasses, lol… How about that ?

And Brie will work at diner part time and intern at a genetics lab.

@ third eye..
Remember the story of pochahintas that was an interrcaial fairytale. And never once in my post was I talking about how racism is over… I was just saying how I’m happy that they finally made a black princess and I could care less if the prince was black.. the focus is not on the prince. You need to calm down and brush the chip off of your shoulder and stop looking for racism all the time.. trust me that is no way to live and you will carry a burden with you everywhere!

don’t be ignant. no one named naveen is white. prolly some indian dude. melting pot indeed.

It is bull. if they want to experiment with melting pots why’d they have to do it with the FIRST and probably ONLY black princess???? Besides they already had Pocahontas and some white guy. This was not to be progressive. This was to send a message to black folks. They want to accept us on their terms only.

They know exactly what they were doing. Just coudn’t stand TWO happy black folks together.

wow disney is keeping up with the times. Nice interracial couple! Kudos to Disney.

———————-
@Bull – To the untrained mind, this is just a harmless animated film for children. Black folks have a right to express their displeasure in Disney’s selection of the lead couple. It is sending a message. I don’t care if the storyline includes mulattoes in Louisiana.

When a people don’t have a cultural or spiritual identity, they will follow the dictates of the melanin-recessive beings who control propaganda and the media.

It is time for us to separate from the black devils among us who want to “willingly” mix with the albino caveman seed. Let them go. There is much that they do not know to their detriment.

Those who recognize that they are of royal blood, and are the motherseed from the garden of Ethiopia (Ether Utopia), the bloodberry would NEVER be deceived into genocide.

I think it’s really cool that the new disney princess is black. I think that black women have a problem with accepting themselves as beautiful, so they tend to fight for black men too, when there is no need to. They are men, they don’t need defending.

This is huge for little black girls and this is something they need for their self esteem…so let them have their moment. Everybody knows in these fairytales it’s all about what the GIRL wants…the prince is just an accessory in the fairy tale.

Thank you.

EtherUtopia,

You are too funny!

You Americans need to stop using the word race when differentiating between groups of the human population. There is a word for people who believe in such segregation and that is racists. Classifying people by race is scientifically outdated long ago and is seen as backward in Western Europe where such beliefs are generally connected to nazism.

This is a great initiative by Disney. There are few Indians to be seen in Western media although their numbers in the West are significant. Asian males are usually projected as submissive, non-sexual beings in popular culture while black American males are usually projected as the complete opposite. When what you Americans call an interracial couple is projected in media it is usually either a black male with a white female or a white male with an Eastern-Asian female. With Barack Obama elected president of the nation in the driving seat of the Western civilization it is time to change such stereotypes and end the segregation of fictional ‘human races’.

The issue isn’t about segregation but displaying black love. It’s like saying that there will never be a black prince and that he is not good enough for a black princess. Done the line every other ethnicity was represented by their counterparts, but not the black princess, why is that?

I think a lot of people are mistaken about the word racism.
Racism and racial discrimination are not synonyms.
Racism is merely a belief that humans can be divided into racial categories and racial discrimination is the belief that the racial categories you believe humans can be put into have specific racial traits that differ in value.
Many of the people here seem to be racist in the true definition of the word.

A black princess named after me that is awesome isn’t that cool or what

The prince could easily be black…

Black like Ice-T, LL Cool J, Common, or Dwayne Johnson/The Rock…

And besides, New Orleans has a history of white men and black women trying to have legitimate relationships but U.S. laws would not facilitate them…

who care black white asain they can all have a desent white man.. black men are way to much hassel… time we get our self som white choclate.. they tastey too

i lov me some white mayn!!!

let me tell u sista sumtin.. i been married twice frist to a brotha.. second to a white.. and i wish to god i neva married that brotha
HULA!!

Uhmm girl i feel u!!

a ladys have u seen that dam cartoon?.. that black lil princess is sooo lucky.. i want him! lol..

as an black-australian i think this is a great idea.. white men love black wemon here.. we are embraced as true-natural beauties.. some down the line americans.. mostly black got it twisted!!.a black wemon with lighter skin dsnt make her prettier,i no in th u.k the darker the better they say.. oh and Tiana is my sistas name weirod!!..

wow some of you people are idiots. im glad they did that, theyre showing real love doesnt just happen in your own race but it can be outside of it too!
It sends a positive message to all the biracial couples out there.

LOL and what we should be talking about is why Beyonce was trying to get the role of Tiana I am pretty sure that I saw this somewhere. Either way, can you imagine how scratchy her voice would have been. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Bey too but that would have been no good. LOL Oh No……XD
