The Magic Jack is a fantastic VoIP device. Never had any problems with it! Saved a ton of cash.

I am pissed not dat the prince isint black but because u people complain about everything. They did a great job on dis movie people. They Can’t make everybody happy and they tryed. They made the princess a darker skin black woman so lil girls can feel good about dem selfs. And dey made the prince not to lite and not to dark happy medium to me. If they would have made this prince dark black den black people would also get offended and try to make it a racial thing as well on a count that that would make it seem dat a black woman isint good enogh to find love beond her race there for meaning ur love and happiness stops at ur skin colore. Dis is a messege to all races, ” love has no bounderes” its beautiful, stop beeing so petty. It was a perfect start for hopefully a more open minded world. Power to the race! To da humen race dat is. We all want change and equality we can’t change da world all at once but we should all do our part and change da way we think as individuals. All this comeing from a women who is a part of a 9 generation interaciall, multiracial (5 different ones to be exact) fam. And we love it.

As a black woman I must say that I am very disappointed with and deeply offended by Disney’s new “black” princess. The quotation marks because she does not look “black.” Since when are slightly cocoa women with ideal caucasian features “black?” Racist Disney does not want to acknowledge the true ethnic appearance of a black woman. Where are her big, thick lips and wooly hair? Why is she dressed all up like some kind of rich white girl? How come her true ethnic background is not acknowledged? Where is her leopard-print mini-dress and gaudy jewelry? Hell, why isn’t she a true, lovely African princess wearing a grass skirt, garish facepaint and a big plate in her lip? How come she does not live in a mud hut and eat bugs? And her man!!?? Where is his black skin? What is Disney trying to tell my young daughters? That a black man isn’t who she should be with? Why is he WHITE!? I WILL NOT allow my daughters to see this film.

I think we should consider the impact that this has on black boys who have not seen themselves in any of the heroes that get the princesses. The are not shown to seek out a princess or that they need to work to woo her.

I think that the idea of this is actually beautiful and I also think it is silly that I have read so many complaints about this. I feel that we as black people can sometimes pick something apart so much that it makes people of other ethnicities just want to throw their hands up and say “the hell with it”. Who cares how her hair, prince, or spiritual beliefs are betrayed. It is all a fairytale. There are however black people who believe in Voodoo and are in interracial relationships as well. So who cares if this is the story line that the chose. I was just happy to see that the actually thought to finally make a Black princess. I loved Disney as a young girl but when I was younger there were so many images of beauty protrayed by white girls or black women who looked as if they were white. I am a black woman who has darker skin so as a young girl I would sometimes think that I would never be portrayed as beautiful because or my skin tone. I am very happy in the fact that they chose to portray the princess of a darker skin tone so that you can actually tell that she is of African-American descent. This really would have been the only thing that would have been wrong in my eyes. Black people are beautiful and come in all shades shapes and sizes, and I am just happy to see that society is starting to appreciate that beauty does also. Little black girls in today’s society now will be able to think of themselves as princesses too thanks to this movie, because as a child I never imagined seeing a black princess.

It is unfortunate for our beautiful REAL African-American princesses that Disney and our country just cannot accept or promote the idea of girls like the character finding the type of prince that the story portrays her father to be. Strong, talented, amazing African-American Princes do exists and are holdin it down everyday. Everyone knows little girls often grow up and marry a man like Daddy. Would it have been too much for Disney and America to celebrate a Black Prince and a Black President? I was so excited that my daughters could finally enjoy a Disney Princess that looked like them. Now, they will never enjoy anything disney again in their childhood. A company that disrespects their father can have no place in our home! To all the real live African-American Princes that continue to keep fighting for us in the real world everyday… Thank you!

As a young female with mixed genes Iam very proud of Disney making a black princess. Its about time honestly and people need to be accepting OH AND THIS IS FOR TALIA… you are the most ignorant person ive ever heard. What the hell is your problem. Its your choice if you dont want to see it but dont make a mockery of something that others want to be proud of. You have an opinion and your opinion is full of bullshit. Disney may not have any black executives but thats ok they thought of other races and cultures. STOP BEING A DUMB BITCH.

This has got the be the ugliest princess Disney has ever burdened us with. But then again this is Disney and anything black is supposed to be made fun of and mocked. What do you want from a studio that doesn’t have any black executives to yank their coat tails and let them know this not the way to go. As for the prince – I think that’s the only thing they got right though I have to agree with another poster that he is a little too pretty. And for those throwing down the complaints – do what I plan to do – DON’T SEE IT – and make sure to spread the word – if you want the studio to change it’s ways don’t give it any money!

Ok…. Ima black female myself, and Im 18 yrs old. Grown enough to have an adult mind but still have the heart of a child…. personally, I dig the mixed the thing. I think its great. But i can agree having a black prince wud have been nice, but im not gonna complain… atleast we are on our way. This is jus the start… who knows what the next disney princess or prince will look like. and who cares? who knows… we might even up with two princes instead (if yu get what im sayin)… i feel like disney did a great job on her look (in the actual movie not these concept drawings) and that disney was keeping up with the times…. most of our female black role models definitely dont have afros… i dont have one and most black women dont… they make their princesses relatable and now a days having straight hair is in! and we all kno if they had gave her an afro or big lips or round and wide nose, ppl would have said they were stereotyping, so you know… stop obsessing over things.. the world is changing… and not to mention its a cartoon…she may be the first black disney princess but hopefully she wont be the last.
