Princess and the Frog...Disney's take of African Americans.

Wow, so as if Avatar was not bad enough, I also managed to see this movie hailed to be the Black Beauty and the Beast. All the African American men in the film died, were criminal, or buffoons. It was an interesting movie about racism, inequality, exploitation and how a Black woman's prince will probably not be a Black man. No positive Black male images, just Black male voices as alligators and fireflies. I thought that maybe someone had got into the Disney ear about the Lion King, and finally they were going to celebrate Black people as people instead of animals. Not! By the way, a parent had to take her son out because the movie was so scary as it was filled with demons and spirits that ultimately killed Ray the firefly. I would say not to take your child to see this film unless you are hoping to teach them an early lesson on negative images of African Americans or racism. Go see it yourself and tell me what you think.
