Moana in the new "The Way To Moana" Featurette

Sooo I’m not too happy about Disney’s casting of Moana’s face character. The girl portraying her is absolutely gorgeous! But she’s wayyyyy to bright for Moana. I wish Disney casted actual dark skinned polynesian girls that I know fit the role. Like I said before the girl is beautiful but in my opinion she’s not Moana. And POC and woke white folk are the only ones who will see the problem with this picture. Fix this Disney. Don’t ruin my favorite princess already. Plus side is that she’s not white.

MOANA WHITEWASHING

These so called face characters I do not and will not accept as my princess. Moana is my skin complexion. She’s freakin brown!! The heck is wrong with you Disney??? And white folks are like “Shes so beautiful” “Cant wait to meet her” NAH SON!! That Becky with the good hair is not Moana. Shes disrespectful for even taking the role.

ok a few things. 

1. Mehndi (henna) is a tradition north africa has shared with india (among many other traditions) for centuries. Even the fact that it has so many different names points to it having several points of origin. These North Africans took these traditions with them where ever they went (or were taken). Hell, my family that is still in Guyana dress JUST like this for Diwali. You cant appropriate a culture that already belongs to you. But yall tried it tho

2.  Appropriation demands that you have the POWER to erase culture and cultural context, which black people simply do not have in the same way white people do. But yall tried it tho

3. You cant be strong and wrong at the same time. The same device yall use to spew bullshit has Ms. Google RIGHT there on it for the low low price of free. And she LOVES answering your dumb ass questions, employ her. I’m real tired of explaining simple shit. But yall tried it tho

4. Dont come for Beyonce on my watch. Ever! But yall tried it tho.

Black Australian teenager Francis Ose posted this video Tuesday of his experience at an Apple store in Melbourne that many are calling racial profiling. After the video hit the web, the teens and their principal went back to the store and demanded answers.

Confession

I’m not surprised that some black men wouldn’t like Finn (John Boyega’s character in Star Wars). To me, Finn is real. He’s anxious yet courageous, emotional but still rational, loving despite the harsh environment he was raised in, cares deeply about those close to him and doesn’t throw people under the bus in order to save his own ass. He defies so many stereotypes without feeling whitewashed yet I still saw black men saying they prefer Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the prequels) simply because he’s more aggressive, less emotional, and didn’t come off as “weak.” I guess to some extent I understand but ain’t that been the problem with hollywood? Always portraying black male characters as one-dimensional, emotionless, hyperaggressive, muscle machines who also tend to be misogynistic and cocky. Idk I guess for me I’d personally rather see more characters on the big screen like Finn than what I’ve been use to seeing.

Well y'all, the Library is open. 👍🏾👓

Have fun aging like cottage cheese in the sun, Becky. Touch up those roots, too 🔍

Food stamps are mostly consumed by white people, and the fraud committed to receive them is also done by your “more successful” peers. 😊

As for the hair, WoC HAVE to assimilate for the most part because your backwoods pappy has deemed our natural hair “unruly” and has withheld jobs, education, and countless opportunities just because they don’t know how 4c hair works, so miss me with that shit.

Y'all are really getting out of hand with this “superior” nonsense when y'all out here thinking water is too spicy and morphing into lobsters as soon as the sun hits you.

Y'all really reaching when you think anyone wants to be you because I’m looking 20 forever and you’re probably 13 with crows feet.

Y'all really think you got it like that, except your whole entire race is a literal genetic mutation.

Take a seat, girl.
