What's the real reason we haven't gotten a black prince?

[smokeurobinson]

....T’Challa.

We did have a black prince

Eddie Murphy's prince Hakeem in comming to america

nikkas still begging for white people to represent them

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

What...the dude in Princess and the Frog wasn't black?

To clear up the confusion, this is the look they use when they cast him live at the Disney Parks and events.

So this is the official answer.

He was creole.
He was mixed, but imo I wouldn't really disclaim him

It looks like they go for middle eastern. And his name is Naveen, and I thought of Naveen Andrews from Lost.

If you have a black prince and a black princess then it's automatically "a black movie". If you have a black prince with a nonblack princess then it's THE LIBRUL LEFT TRYING TO FORCE THEIR ANTI WHITE MALE AGENDA!1!1! You see how much flack a black woman got for playing Ariel. Imagine if it was some random non black girl cast along side Michael B. Jordan as Prince Eric. The internet would've shut down entirely. We'd be having this conversation via mail.

Aside from that, Disney princess type movies have mostly been geared toward girls. The princes were always basically side characters - except for maybe Aladdin. Was being a Disney Prince something you aspired to be growing up? Exactly. It's unlikely a studio would risk such a high level of backlash for such an uncertain, but surely minimal ROI.

The better question would be why haven't there been more black action heroes and cartoon leads.

I really don’t care about a black Disney prince
And people don’t give a fukk about princes in movies, princesses are far more popular
Black superheroes >>> black Disney characters

Ya'll nikkas are seriously underestimating the importance of a black Disney prince, when the next generation of black women star bedwenching on epidemic levels don't say I didn't earn ya'll

 

[Real]

The irony


Yall sound just like the cacs that complained about Ariel being black in the first place.


Full circle

I fukking told yall this when they announced the black actress:

Thats a fukking lie, the outrage PALES in comparison to the rage white male nerds have when theres a black man being casted in their beloved nerd franchises: MCD as Kingpin, Idris Elba in Thor and Finn in Star Wars who was an ORIGINAL character. The crackers were enraged that Finn was going to be the love interest for the lead female, thats why they hated it so much BEFORE it came out. When the black girl got casted as Star Fire on Teen Titans, it was mostly whiteboys who were clowning her. This casting is nothing but a shot to black men because the love interest HAS to be nonblack. As a matter of fact I can see this being like NadiaL: Secret of Blue Water or Disney's Atlantis (and even Pochahontas and James Cameron's Avatar): the princess of a darkskinned exotic race of people falls in love with the white skinny/nerdy foreigner who has the courage and lives happily ever after. I already see where they are going with this.

White males will NOT be enrage like this like the aforementioned black male characters White female outrage always PALE in comparison compared to white male outrage, FACTS. This only reconfirms their beliefs that they are entitled to every race of nonwhite women on the globe after they conquered the men. THats why they are casting this one as black. Its ok for the exotic savages to be black, but ALWAYS let the prince/love interest be white. THis is the same tired trope since Dancing with Wolves. ANd black men should not have it. (I bet the father is a Mufasa like character as well).

I told yall this is the route they were going. I saw this coming when they casted the black girl. BW will rejoice, black men and whtie males will go meh, and white women will be enraged for a min. Darkskinned race of savages with a beautiful black woman falling in love and sacrificing herself for a white man. NO PROMINENT BW WITH A VOICE ONLINE WILL BE ENRAGED.

if it’s not a black character I don’t care about taking old white characters and making them black

Lmao, is this sarcasm??

WHAT importance? Black mothers and fathers are unlikely to be bum-rushing theatres with their sons in tow to see some Disney flick with a black prince so where's the benefit?

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

There is way too much energy being put into this Little Mermaid reboot. Fact of the matter is the Princes character was never that deep. Black men have way more power in cinema than Black women how is this even an argument.

IF black men have have power in cinema, then we would have the pull to have them cast a black man as the lead love interest, but black men as a whole dont care like white men/bw and bw on social media dont care either way because all they want is their representation and they are cool with whoever is casted.

 

[Ya?]

definitely more so.

Remind me where the "black prince" is again in Disney?
Remind me again where I can find the show "Black Boys Rock!"
Remind me again, what Political party praises black men as the "back bone" of the party?

I'm just curious...thanks in advance.

They don’t do more so for black women, with all the men in Hollywood there is nothing stopping them from doing a black boys rock.

Everything that BW have is because they push for it if they didn’t even do that, I don’t expect men to do it in their place and even then it is extremely lacking. There hasn’t been a black girl/teen/young woman in mainstream TV/Film in over a decade and I don’t see many men up in arms about that. Halle playing Ariel is the exception and not the rule.

It isn’t and will not be because of Disney.
