I am more inpressed by Black+White than Black+Black because there really are almost no interracial romances, compared to just black. regarding what berrybrowne Says: “3. and i’m feeling bebroma on the white prince. i mean, seeing as how we’re only going to get one black princess, i’d love some black-on-black love. if we had diversity, i’d be cool with diversity.”

Hopefully, your children will branch out and become TOLERANT and not have preconceived notions about certain men based on their race..judging by your mentality, they have a helluva lot to branch away from. What a pity.... Jamillah:Girl..please.The only reason some Black people are being "nit picky" is because they are hoping for the best, but expecting the worse..

Probably because the media and every poll taken shows differently. “black / brown is beautiful and desirable by all men not just ” our men ” and this is not emphasized enough .”

For the first time in literally 62 years they are trying to include us. Don't you remember the ridiculousness that was 'Song of the South'? That can't even be released on DVD in the US because its so insensitive. You don't see that coming out of 'the vault' anytime soon. Zip a dee do nothing! With Disney being Disney this thing will be dissected and marketed and tested and run a million and four times before any of us sees anything significant. These people know exactly what they are doing and if you don't think Pocohantas and Mulan and Aladdin weren't warm ups for this you are very naive. GO AND SEE IT. Whenever anything that tries to include us in a big mainstream way comes out, we can nitpick it into there being another 60 year gap until we see us up on the screen again or we can support the hell out of it and help along the next big thing to also come along. Conversation about our portrayal as a race should be generated but we should try and expect the best. We deserve the best, Disney knows that only the best will generate decent money, and it has been a long time coming. OK. y’all need to relax.

Aren't you tired of black women waiting for the the IBM yet? I thank God that Disney chose a white guy instead of a black guy. Do you realize how much more harm that would do to our little girls? I can't wait to take my daughters to see this film just becuse it will cement a fact they already know-black women are wanted by every race of people. Even in fairy tales!!!!! To those that said they don’t like the fact that the prince is white I say GET OVER IT.

Let us not use this movie as the way to right all wrongs ever done to our people; allow it to be a Disney movie to be magical to have suspense and not to be a rigid formula made to please and accurately represent every member of the African diaspora, it will lose the magic. "Oh she should have cocoa skin or nah she should be brown sugar not everyone has a dark chocolate complexion. Her afro puff is too short, no its too long no she should have cornrows. Her curl is too loose no its perfect it shows our diversity." It's too much let it take its course then criticize. Oh dear Lord poor disney what ever happened to creative liscene.
