Thread: Why y’all fighting over what color gets to represent a princess in an inherently racist institution like Disney, who until recently had people (many of color) who were working fulltime having to sleep in their cars bc they didn’t pay them enough?

#MedicareForAll, a $15 dollar minimum wage, FREE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY, student loan debt forgiveness. They do everything to hurt progressive candidates. So miss me w/ that bs that we’re somehow supposed to cheer them on & get in fights over the color of a fictional character America1 réponse 7 Retweets 29 j'aimeAfficher cette discussion -

B/c people are going to watch the film regardless of how many other pressing problems we face, and a lot of those people are going to be Black and Brown children who are grossly and severely underrepresented in mainstream media which is a travesty and furthers systemic racism

And racism is as much, if not more, a pressing issue for Black and Brown people as it often results in extreme, personal suffering and sometimes even death.

But it doesn’t solve any issue. Not speaking against it. I’m saying people are more worried about symbolic gestures than doing things and pushing for policies in these companies that ACTUALLY HELP POC. As a person of color I’m sick of it. It doesn’t help.

Tell that to the little Black girl who wouldn't otherwise dream big if she only saw white people at the movies.

You’re missing the point. I’m not against them casting a black girl for a mermaid. I’m against the level of obsessive attention paid to this as if it’s a huge victory when people of color are suffering under Disney the corporation. It’s not real justice. It’s superficial.

I'm not missing any point. I'm saying that what defines an issue as pressing or severe varies from one person to the next and I think what you're saying is dismissive of that, and that it's coming from a place of privilege.

All of us are suffering under this economy. These elites like Obama have more in common with elitist white people than they do with working class black People. It’s the truth.
