Racism in Cartoons
In light of Disney's first black princess, Tiana, I wanted to post some vids I found on YouTube.
First this is the trailer for the 2009 release of The Frog Princess:
Racism in Disney's Cartoons:
Racism through sound in Disney Cartoons:
Sexism, Strength and Dominance: Masculinity in Disney Films:
I want to point out that I am in no way upset or offended by these videos because at that point in time Black Americans, or any other race for that matter, weren't getting any respect in America so how can you blame Disney for following suit? It just amazes me to know that what I was watching as a child was basically grooming me to be less than and never equal to a 'superior' race and/or gender. These videos are in no way life changing but if you can take the time to watch a couple minutes in each of the videos you will have some flashbacks from your child hood and your opinion of your favorite Disney moment will change...
