I think you'll find it's the double standards that mostly piss people off, when you try to replace black people with white people in movies the blacks go mental. When you try to replace other races with blacks and try to palm it off as a historic documentary as they tried to do with Cleopatra, other races of people tend to get pissed. When you start with the blackwashing for other stuff like cartoons etc, people begin to stand up and call out the race baiting hypocrites in Hollywood. TBH a couple of years ago people were getting on just fine, then US media started making everything about race and trying to portray all white people as a bunch of racists, when they started with the critical race theory crap in schools I guess the masses just got sick of it. Maybe if the schools in USA taught that that the transatlantic slave trade, wasn't the only slavery the world has seen, and that it's been going on for thousands of years and many blacks were responsible for it then we would have less black people with a chip on their shoulders and less white people believing they should be held responsible for something that some mostly wealthy people a few hundred years ago did. One things for sure - the tide is beginning to turn and Hollywood better wake up to this if they want to make a profit because people will just turn off as they can't be arsed being lectured to or with the blackwashing anymore.I have a hard time believing that a generation raised on Eddie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, Dennis Rodman, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey and Whitney Huston (and so, so much more black entertainers…) has a problem with black representation in film. I think the problem might be that The Little Mermaid, originating from a Danish fairy tale and famously depicted in one of Disney’s greatest animated films, is traditionally depicted as white. We can argue all day about the chicken and the egg here, perhaps the studio was genuinely interested in promoting inclusion (likely story) or perhaps they wanted to capitalise on a “racial controversy” and score some easy and free advertising, but ultimately if we’re really so interested in black representation in film, perhaps we should be advocating giving black actors and actresses original and memorable roles which they deserve. We don’t need to race-bend existing characters for apparently no reason, unless Hollywood feels exceptionally honest right now and wants to admit that it’s going through a creativity crisis, with the writing getting so bad that it’s just safer to remake an old, beloved property, but with a “twist”.
