Finally, "The Little Mermaid", who is now black... Is in theaters!

[Lastamender]

They aren't slurs. They are inconvenient truths.

Remember, nearly as many people gave their lives to enslave blacks, as those to free them.

360,222 Union deaths and 258,000 Confederate deaths

They are comments that keep racism alive. Without it you would have nothing.

They should have cast a real manatee.

I hear Lizzo is available.

Have you thought that it's NOT about making money, but doing what's RIGHT?

You're not going to be very successful in the movie business.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Am I the only one that thinks clutching your pearls over the ethnicity of a Mermaid..Ye Olde mythical critter...is just a bit absurd?

Is this 'woke' or just smart marketing? Both?

I'd prefer an Asian mermaid...but Asians are punished for their success...these days~

I simply cannot understand the controversy over this.

Your understanding is quite limited. It is nice to know you realize that.

You're overthinking it. It's just another excuse for people to piss on each other. The quality of the excuse doesn't matter as much as the exercise.

Oh you snark shark you---

That gif is unsettling.

I be she steals the show!

The Little Mermaid is now portrayed by an African-American actress and with the movie the best! Diversity is wonderful and people might even prefer an African American actress in this role.

The mantra "Go woke go broke" well be challenged here, because if this movie makes a lot of money then it is not always true that woke goes broke.

Well you go watch it or take your kids to watch it?

My 30 something children are going to take me to see it. It was one of our favorites when they were little. We can't wait!

 

[iamwhatiseem]

i really don't care about this, but a funny side to this - mermaids wouldn't be black because black skin is from being in hot/sunny areas for millennia.

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

I be she steals the show!

She's cute..and can sing....from what i hear, she's probably the only reason to go see it.

 

[NotYourBody]

she’s a great singer, also looking forward to seeing McCarthy as the sea witch

Me too! Can Melissa go that scary?

You seem like an interesting person. /s

 

[Curried Goats]

You criticize others while being a ball of rage and frustration yourself.

What rage? Why would I be angry that you Bingos are getting angry at mermaids? I'm dying with laughter over here. Especially after that clown called himself an Alpha.

Wow, you sure have a lot of children!

They are comments that keep racism alive. Without it you would have nothing.

Over a quarter of a million people wouldn't give their lives for an idea that didn't have deep roots.

Whether it's racism, nazism, or anti-semitism. It still lives in the hearts and minds of men.

You're lumping everybody together and flaming people. You're one of those dudes that just can't get over some fat rednecks telling racist jokes at a klan meeting and then project that onto as many white people as possible. Congratulations, you're the racist that you hate so much.

 

[Lastamender]

Oh you snark shark you---

I do much better than you and many others. Thanks for the compliment.

You're not going to be very successful in the movie business.
