“Woke” People are at it Again. They Made the Little Mermaid BLACK.
Part One
So, this is the latest dagger piercing the heart of the American psyche. Disney will be releasing a live-action The Little Mermaid, and Ariel is portrayed by a black actress. Those “woke” people have to mess up everything.
They canceled Dr. Seuss. (No, they didn’t.) They took the “Mr.” off Mr. Potato Head so that he can choose which bathroom to use. Now they’re aiming their politically correct, “woke,” “representational,” ammunition-free guns, at Disney. It’s just not the America I know anymore.
As usual, I’m the last person to hear of controversies, so I didn’t know about the new film or the new Ariel until September 14th. I saw a Facebook post about it which had 442,000 reactions and 32,000 comments. If I were on my usual political participation soapbox, I’d be thrilled to see that many impassioned replies. These, however, were about a movie which no one has yet seen. A movie.
After reading hundreds of reasons why The Little Mermaid can’t be black, few of which made sense; I had to say something — and be warned, I say things at length. Any quotation I include was actually written by purportedly real people. I have not invented any of them, and I have let their errors remain.
Where can I begin?
