For example, there appear to be no "good guy" Black male human characters. Two White men are writing the story and Randy Newman (?!) is doing the music. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'll try to reserve judgement until the film actually comes out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798416736631817119.post-62235937106220732462007-03-19T12:04:00.000-05:002007-03-19T12:04:00.000-05:00I'm with the mommies who dislike Disney and applau...I'm with the mommies who dislike Disney and applaud this: it's great news!<BR/><BR/>My little blue-eyed girl (4) is, alas, princess mad like the rest of them but at least she likes all the princesses equally. And Maddy is cute in that insipid princess way.<BR/><BR/>I'm shocked at how long it's taken--but the premise sounds promising.<BR/><BR/>And yes, amused at how quickly I cave to my daughter's desires. I tell myself that princesses themselves may not be inherently anti-feminist or normative. I'm trying to make her into an active, anti-racist, powerful princess not some little anorexic sleeping until the prince arrives... We'll see how that goes...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281027116636227323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798416736631817119.post-69034279775295413762007-03-18T21:40:00.000-05:002007-03-18T21:40:00.000-05:00Anonymous,Black people just can't win with some of...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Black people just can't win with some of you White folk. Here you say "why don't you just get your own?" When we get our own, e.g. BET, Jet, Ebony, Essence, they YOU COMPLAIN about there being a Black TV station, Black magazines, Black stores, etc. You don't know how many times I've been asked how come there's a "Black _______?

Blacks always sit back and whine that "whitey" isn't doing enough for them and expecting everyone to hand them something. They never want to take responsibility for themselves, that's why their communities are such a mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798416736631817119.post-47361260071582226452007-03-17T14:16:00.000-05:002007-03-17T14:16:00.000-05:00Why couldn't they have set it in Harlem?

Black culture has been bamma-ized. I'm changing my name to Sgt. Watters, you geechies!!!<BR/><BR/>Just kidding...it's been a long week...went to beach to write and it was 80 degrees there and DC. Came back and it was 35 degrees. Then my white sister in law was scrunching her nose at these new black princesses. Pocahontas is cool, but why no sisters for my nieces?

For the same reasons you mentioned, I hated buying it when there were no princesses that looked anything like my daughters, but I also didn't know how to explain this to 2 to 4 year old girls. I also resented other moms thinking that Mulan, Pocahontas, and Jasmine were enough representation and that I should be satisfied with that. I look forward taking my daughters to see "The Frog Princess"!Jessalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908486429259050536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798416736631817119.post-70079750932169832732007-03-15T22:37:00.000-05:002007-03-15T22:37:00.000-05:00I am a Disney-hater, and so far we have avoided al...I am a Disney-hater, and so far we have avoided all the princess merchandise. . .is it hypocritcal of me to at the same time be glad there's a black princess?
