The mermaid story was created by Asians in 1,000 B.C.. Whites stole the story from Asians. You shouldn't culturally appropriate and attempt to white wash.

Heh, good point there. When it comes to injustices or learning of black history the right don't want to see race and misquote MLK. When it comes to race swapping beloved characters played first by a white character, color all of a sudden comes into view as if they just got new ocular implants that turned their view of black and white to full blown HD.

Not really. Most prisoners are white, also.

And when you add racist-related crimes like discrimination, land theft, genocide, rape, slavery, Jim Crow, voter suppression, wage gap, white supremacist laws and policies favoring white race which are still in effect, lynchings, mass incarceration on manufactured "crime", then whites are clearly committing crime at vastly higher rates.

Of course, racist whites, like yourself, don't consider crimes against blacks and other persons of color to be a crime.

How do you know the Mermaid was white? Perhaps she was a light-complexioned black person like Megan Markle. Disney is only replacing a black character with another black character.

reply

[–] LanceDance (1315) 2 years ago

If Megan Markle is black, then I'm martian.

I know the mermaid is white because the author, Hans Christian Andersen, said so. Read the book, it's all there. If Disney wants to make a movie about black sea creatures, then look into sub-saharan African folklore instead of blackwashing white Danish fairy tales. We would love to see black folklore represented on screen.

reply

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

Then, you're a martian. White racists in England chased her away. They didn't count on Prince Harry leaving with her.

Her father is clearly a black man since he has brown skin. Nobody in the movie speaks Danish - only American English. They're clearly Americans.

A white man stole the story from Asians who created it thousands of years earlier while most Europeans were still cave dwelling. Once again, racist whites culturally appropriate and then pretend they own it. ROTFLMAO! Everyone would love to see white folks create something original instead of stealing and taking credit for it:

Christianity was created by Asians. Rock music created by African-Americans. Pyramids built by black Africans. Many important medical drugs created by Indigenous Americans. Have some dignity and stop stealing!

reply

[–] LanceDance (1315) 2 years ago

They spoke English in Mulan too, and Lion King, and Aladdin, etc, so what’s your point? Other countries do that as well when making movies and shows where the characters speak the language of the local target audience instead of the native language in the setting. And then there’s dubs. That’s just how it is.

What nonsense! Disney changed many things from the book which tells a horrific story unfit for a child to hear. The prince maltreats her, marries another and she plans to kill him in order to save her own life. She's tortured and in constant pain throughout the book. Her sisters sing happily about killing men. She dies at the end and has a lousy existence.

You're not complaining about those changes. Only a black actress. You're a racist and white supremacist.

Jesus a WASP? People from that part of the world are white, but nobody claims he was Anglo-Saxon or Protestant.

LOL! Nope! Jews in that era and area were not white. They were light brown and brown-skinned complexion with dark curly hair and dark eyes. And men never wore their long.

Your WASPy Jesus painting and WASPy blond actors are white-washing.

reply

Nobody paints Jesus as a WASP. Makes no sense since Protestantism will not be a thing for more than a thousand years.

And Jews are considered white (the race, not the “social construct”).

reply

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

Askhenazi Jews didn't exist in that era. The Jews who founded Christianity were not white.

Hollywood and European artists continue to show WASPy blond haired, blue eyed, Jesus instead of showing an accurate depiction of Jews in that era and area. We both agree that it makes no sense. But, it promotes white supremacy and racism.

Again, the middle eastern populations are considered white, Caucasian, whatever. I don’t care what your stupid American culture considers to be white.

Jesus is not painted with pale skin and blue eyes everywhere in Europe, all East Europe paints him pretty close to what a middle eastern guy would look. Take a look at Jesus Pantocrator.

Plus Jesus is painted by each culture by their own image, you ignorant fuck. People in west Europe or even Central Europe didn’t know or even care how Jesus looked, they painted him in their image because he is mainly a symbol, his real image doesn’t really matter for the faith.

Jesus was painted as “white’’ (whatever that means for you) way before the modern concept of racism was even invented you ignorant imbecile.

You truly are an ignorant black supremacist with zero knowledge about the real world.

reply

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

"Jesus Pantocrator"
Still WASPy with dark hair. Most WASPs have dark hair.

"middle eastern populations are considered white, Caucasian"
Not by white people nor by Middle Eastern people.

"I don’t care what your stupid American culture considers to be white."
Not culture. It's about immigration law which had a white only policy.

"Plus Jesus is painted by each culture by their own image"
Not true. Neither should Adam and Eve be represented as WASPs.

"black supremacist"
That doesn't exist since only rich white men control everything in the U.S..

The little mermaid is NOT a new movie.

A story based on an European story with European cast is NOT racist you idiot.

Racist is replacing the character's race. But for a black supremacist like you it's hard to understand.

Proof: it makes almost no money globally ... because globally people don't appreciate raist Hollywod agenda and they want to see the original story.

You just showed what a little self-centered, black supremacist bitch you are.

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

Mermaid was released in 2023, therefore it is a new movie.

A white guy stole the story from Asians, therefore the character is a white-wash.

You're projecting. White men control ALL U.S. institutions, therefore there can only be white supremacy and white racism in a race-based hierarchy in which whites are on top and everyone else is discriminated and persecuted.

Obama is not white, Kamala Harris, Sotomayor is Puertorican and 2 more judges are black.

Gtfo.

Btw, race supremacists don’t need to be in power to be supremacists or racists. Just to believe certain things, like you.

“A white guy stole the story from Asians, therefore the character is a white-wash.” False, lies. Exactly what we expect from a supremacist.

“ First published in 1837, The Little Mermaid was written in Danish and titled Den lille havfrue. The Little Mermaid is a literary fairy tale. The plot is drawn from Hans Christian Andersen's imagination rather than a specific folktale. However, Andersen's writing was influenced by traditional folklore about merfolk and water nymphs.”

reply

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

Nope. Government is controlled by white men. Biden, his cabinet, both Houses, most state leaders, etc. are white men. Another issue is that laws and policies are baked in favoring white men. A token doesn't mean anything.

The Supreme Court is historically and presently controlled by white men. The majority of their decisions favor white men by destroying rights for women and blacks especially now. Thomas and Barrett have a pro-white male agenda and have no problem harming most POC and women.

Furthermore, the criminal justice system is controlled by white men. Its mass incarceration, exploitation and racism has existed for centuries and its systemic racism is well-known. Most of the systemic racism is baked in.

Cultures around the world had mermaid stories centuries before Anderson was born. He stole the idea.

reply

[–] asom (6872) 2 years ago

This fully shows how insane you are.

And worse, Andersen “stole” the story (but you bring no proof and Europeans had mermaids stories as well, have you ever read “The Odyssey” you uncultured swine?) while Disney didn’t corrupt it by replacing the characters.

Fucking hypocrite black supremacist …

“ It is not widely known that mermaids have their origin in much older Scandinavian folklore... Called Margygr in Old Norse. The name loosely translates to "to Sea spirit" or "Sea Giantess" as the Nordic conception of natural forces often become personified in the form of powerful supernatural beings, like the forces of nature they represent, The 'Margygr' are sometimes seen as malevolent and violent, other times exceedingly beautiful and helpful — but ALWAYS commanding a sense of reverence, awe, and in many cases outright worship by those that behold them.”

Do I have to remind you the connection between the Danes and the Vikings?

https://www.grottimill.com/en/prints/margygr-mermaid.php

“A famous Greek folktale claimed that Alexander the Great's sister, Thessalonike was transformed into a mermaid upon her death in 295 BC and lived in the Aegean sea.”

Get an education you stupid. You’re the only one that advocates pro stealing the products of other cultures … like you did with Cleopatra.

[–] Keelai (34983) 2 years ago

Disney's Mermaid cartoon had little to do with the Danish story if you ever read it. You're a racist triggered by a black actress playing a fictitious character. Disney owns the rights. They don't have to hire only white actors to keep your white supremacy wet dream alive in perpetuity.

You mean the racially diverse Vikings?

" real Viking history was multicultural,"
https://time.com/5569399/viking-history-white-nationalists/

"The mobility of Vikings led to a fusion of cultures within their ranks and their trade routes would extend from Canada to Afghanistan. A striking feature of the early Vikings’ success was their ability to embrace and adapt from a wide range of cultures, whether that be the Christian Irish in the west or the Muslims of the Abbasid Caliphate in the east."
https://theconversation.com/vikings-were-never-the-pure-bred-master-race-white-supremacists-like-to-portray-84455

"While our modern ideas of these ancient seafarers paint a very homogenous picture, their reality was decidedly diverse."
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/scientists-raid-viking-dna-explore-genetic-roots

"he most compelling evidence refuting racial purity is DNA analysis of skeletal remains from the Viking age, which reveals a high degree of ethnic exchange."
https://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2020/07/white-supremacists-are-misappropriating-norse-mythology-says-expert.html

Tan to brown-skinned Ancient Greeks were diverse and didn't consider themselves white. Whites were the barbarians who lived in northern Europe. Cleopatra was a beautiful woman of color whose family lived in a black populated country for 300 years. Her sister was bi-racial! Chances are so was Cleo.
