Duck, Duck, Sue!

Another Black family is suing Disneyland for character ignoring children.

Another family is suing Disneyland because of a character refusing to hug their child.

Let's get this out the way!

The Drudge Report once again is the watering hole for racism. Masquerading itself as a conservative news agitating blog, the website caters to extremists. The reclusive founder Matt Drudge employs three others to monitor his website for the latest shock and awe in America. The website panders to outlandish race-baiting and white supremacists frequently use this website as a recruitment tool.

What's more fun than riling up White folks with stories about Blacks.

Any black story even the ones that including President Barack Obama is catnip for racists.

Republicans and conservatives flock to the website. Perennial loser Mitt Romney, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity praised the website and usually get their talking points from the website. The Drudge Report links conservative and select liberal blogs for stories. Then it puts a spin on the stories.

I must admit this too. I read the website often and usually find stories that mention Blacks. When I click on the link, usually I zero in on the comment section. Immediately I look into what is being said. The first comments are usually a word salad of race, bigotry, and Obama name drops.

Even if the story has a positive spin on life is expected to have a nasty comment with either racism or Obama in it. The Drudge Report is a reason to why the Republicans are criticized as "The Stupid Party".

Today, the Anaheim, California theme park is under fire yet again for having its famed characters avoiding the Black families for the White family.

First the Black family (no pun intended) from Northern California was upset over the White Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland not hugging their son.

Now the White family (no pun intended) from San Diego are upset that their children Razzi and Ryder White were brushed off by famed character Donald Duck.

Nastasia claims that rather than play with her son, Donald deliberately walked away from him to play with a white baby in a stroller.

The Whites said they waited patiently for their turn - long enough that even the baby's parents urged Donald to play with Razzi - but Donald ignored them.

The White family are suing the Anaheim theme park for its beloved character deliberately ignoring their children.

Nastasia asked for picture, but says Donald instead went to a young white girl on a bench on hugged her.

Nastasia White was quacking mad! She stated that the guy in the costume ignored her children and went to a  White couple and their children.

She complained to the park management and was sent a letter offering her passes to the front of attraction lines for her 'disappointment.'

The Whites are the second family to accuse the performers of being racist, with a Spring Valley family filing suit against Disneyland, saying that the White Rabbit had ignored their sons, niece, and nephew.

Attorney Dan Gilleon is now representing both families.

'I've gotten many emails and voicemails that I'm looking into. What this tells me is this isn't an isolated incident. It doesn't mean Disneyland is racist, but they have some people in the company who aren't playing by the rules and are being discriminatory,' GIlleon said.

Gilleon said he'd subpoena Disney for surveillance video of the incidents.

Disney officials said they did not believe the original complaint was about discrimination, only a child being ignored, and would not confirm whether the incidents involved two employees playing different characters.

This is ridiculous.

I don't want to say this is a joke, but I just don't understand to how The Blacks and The Whites were shunned by the White Characters for the White families?

I know it's a bad pun but that's how I look at these stories. I think it's another tort!

Down The Rabbit Hole....

Hopping mad! Black family wants to sue Disneyland for character upsetting child.

Another story out of Los Angeles involves a Black couple Annelia and Jason Black (no pun intended  are  suing Disneyland. The family is suing for an undisclosed amount after they witness a performer dressed as The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland refuse to address their child.

The Blacks of San Diego County said the person in the rabbit costume also acted impatiently as their young kids posed for a picture at the Anaheim theme park.

They claimed that performer went over to a White family and embraced their children.

“There were two other kids that came up. The rabbit showered them. Hugged them, kissed them, posed with them, and took pictures. Meanwhile, that made my kids feel horrible,” said Jason.

The family immediately filed a complaint with Disneyland officials.

The Blacks said they were offered VIP passes and $500, but they turned down both gifts.

In addition, they were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.

The family said they want a public apology and the employee involved in the incident to be fired.

Now I am going to be very serious about this.

This is a freaking joke.

For one thing, who would want a complete stranger touch your children?

I hate to say this but the media made customer characters look like pedophiles and rapists.

Hey, that guy's doing them a favor! At least the person in the costume isn't grabbing the daughter breast or smacking their son's butt!

For one thing, there's proof but then there's no proof! And it could have been a big misunderstanding!

And this stirs the conservative/white supremacist bubble yet again!

It's made onto conservative websites and yes it's agitated them to find some anger with the couple, President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, welfare, Black on Black crime, or whatever grievance they'll have! Of course, they'll insert their word salad of racial slurs and anti-Obama rhetoric.

Let's support both Princess Tiana and Briana, there's room for both

This weekend The Princess and the Frog opens in movie theaters across the nation and should do very well. I urge everyone to go see the movie to show that animated movies with black leads can do well.At the same time there is some controversy over where Disney's idea for Princess Tiana came from. In 2003 the character of Princess Briana was created by authur Yara Baker. There is some debate over whether Disney "borrowed" from the Princess Briana character. ( Read more on that HERE )

While most of us will never know what really happened I think we need to look at the glass as half full. There are two black princesses for our little girls to read or watch. I'm sure there is room for two black princesses and many more to boot.I have brought a copy of the Princess Briana book myself and I urge you to do the same. There is a link to the book on Amazon at the end of this article.

Here is a brief synopsis of the Princess Briana Book.Princess Briana is a wonderful story for children which teaches that beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Princess Briana is a beautiful, African princess who has the opportunity to attend the School of Elite's summer camp in Spain. She has never been to Spain and is very excited about the people she will meet and the things she will learn. Upon arriving, she saw many other princesses, but none who looked like her. Though questioning whether or not she belonged at the school, she continued to her classes, excited to meet her instructors. Shortly after, Briana wasn't too sure of herself, her beauty, or if she deserved to be a princess, so she tried to make herself fit in by changing her outside appearance. Young girls today are bombarded with media images, which imply they must fit society's idea of physical perfection. The messages from magazine covers, music videos, and movies train young girls to think that everyone must have flawless skin, be a certain weight, and size to be considered beautiful. Princess Briana gives an encouraging message to young ladies about loving themselves. Reading this book to young girls will enlighten and empower them to be confident in their unique physical attributes.

So let's go see The Princess and the Frog and buy the Princess Briana Book to help support author Yara Baker and her efforts to also make her book into a movie. Like I wrote earlier I have already brought the book and my daughter will drag me to the movie...LOL.

I believe that's a win win for everyone.
