Okay, let me start by saying I am WAY excited for The Frog Princess!! Not only will Disney be reverting to their tradition of taking classic fairy tails, 2D animation, and songs throughout, but they're doing my favorite fairy tale of ALL TIME!! How cool is that gonna be??

Yea, it's not gonna be as enjoyable as it should be.

Know why?

It's Disney's first black princess. HOLD THE PHONE. I do NOT have a problem with this!! None whatsoever. In fact, I didn't even blink when they mentioned it, because as I've said, there is no black and white, there's dark to light with variations. Skin color is such a trivial thing to me that it would be like Disney stating she will be the first Disney Princess to have green eyes. I really don't care.

Here's what the problem is.

ONE PICTURE has been released of Maddy, and people are already going apeshit. Oh wait.... her name's not MADDY anymore, is it?

Nope, people complained that the name was stereotypically lower class black, and she's a chambermaid to top it all off.

HUH??

CINDERELLA ANYONE?? She's named after CINDERS for god's sake! She has a stereotypical lower class name, and she's a chambermaid!!

"But Chi!" you may say, "The BIG difference is that Cinderella was WHITE!"

Then YOU, my friend, are the racist one. Because you are giving the color of people's skin WAY too much thought.

"But CHI!" you may persist, "Black people were SLAVES, and THAT'S why the chambermaid thing is bad!"

And that's what REALLY rubs me the wrong way.

Listen, I'm so sick of hearing how the white people enslaved black people. THAT'S NOT TRUE!! I didn't do ANYTHING to you. Yes, a long long time ago, a group of white people did that. You know what else happened a long long time ago? The Holocaust. And a class I took about two years ago revealed that I have a lot of traits that would send me and most of my friends right into the fires back then. So should I be offended by ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT'S GERMAN IN THIS WORLD NOW?

HELL NO.

And here comes that rant again: there are certain black people that whine about being treated as equally as white people, YET THEY THROW A STINK OVER A DISNEY PRINCESS BEING BLACK!! If it were a white person with a low-class name being a chambermaid (which HAS HAPPENED BEFORE), no one would blink an eye. THEY WANT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY, YET THEY DEMAND SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR BEING BLACK.

If anything, it scares me how the tables are turned. As Americans, we see black as the ones getting all the racism, but it REALLY is starting to turn around. I mean LOOK AT THIS!! A black person can basically say WHATEVER they want, but white people need to tread sooooo carefully.

Don't believe me? Go google up reports about businesses who choose black people over white people because they're scared of being deemed "racist". Go google up the story about a black student who was denied admission to Harvard, and SUED until they were forced to give him admission because he claimed they were being racist.

I want us all to be treated equally too, and to me, that doesn't mean SPECIAL TREATMENT TO BLACK PEOPLE TO MAKE UP FOR IT. As I've said, I have NOTHING to make up for. I, nor my father, nor my grandfather, nor my GREAT grandfather enslaved ANYONE.

Hey here's an interesting tidbit: I have this scar on my back that's characteristic of slaves that can be passed down several generations. My parents aren't completely sure, but we think that means someone in our lineage at some point was a slave. Do I get special treatment? Nope. Cause I'm white. Do I WANT special treatment anyway? Nope. Because if I have to sue over "racism" to get myself into a school, I'd be a lame person.

EQUAL -- TREATMENT -- FOR ALL.

That's all I want. Racism isn't gone, it's simply being flipped on it's side. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR EITHER SIDE. EQUALITY FOR ONCE, PLEASE.

For those of you on the edge of your seat wondering what Maddy's name got changed to, it's Tiana.

Yea...

Tiana.

CAUSE THAT'S NOT MORE STEREOTYPICALLY BLACK THAN MADDY AT AAAAALL.

So here's the bottom line: Disney, GO FOR IT. If people want to boycott your movie, so be it. You don't want racist people seeing your movies anyway.
