Disney casts black woman as lead actress in The Little Mermaid Remake

[man down]

Disney is so smart. They know the climate right now and know libs will turn out on flocks just to prove a point.

Whatever happened to empire anyway?

What your lover get banned for?

For loving me too much.

Disney made significant changes to the characters and plot when they adapted it to animation from the original story-- people didn't mind that, but they're triggered by the lead being a different skin color for the live action? Um, okay.

Why age you guys still arguing about this?

Nah BS mate

There's plenty of good black actors, Morgan Freeman Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Samuel L Jackson, forest Whitaker, I could go on

But these sort of casting choices are blackwashed for sjw points plain and simple.

You are using the term incorrectly. You can’t blackwash a character that isn’t real. Mermaids, James Bond, Santa Claus, etc. are not real life so they aren’t blackwashed if a non white actor plays them. O

This is still comedy gold. Triggered half men are still butt hurt over a cartoon.

No black person I know is asking for representation in Disney fictional universe. Good thing is if u luv Ariel so much, bust out the lotion and watch the original. Simple as that.
