Not many know but Disney is all set to finally create thier first black character based film,
The Frog Princess. From what I've seen some are upset that Disney has waited so long but I say more power to them. I'm just a bit confused as why it couldn't have been "The Princess from the Nile" or "The African Princess" but who am I?!!? (Only the best blogger I know I know but honestly people let me make my point)
She is supposed to be a princess from New Orleans?!? I guess maybe some hurricane katrina awareness or maybe no...I have no clue but I'm still excited.
Anika Noni Rose is all set to do the voice over...YAY. I heard she beat out Tyra Banks and I'm oh so thankful because she honestly would have me walking out that movie theater. Ok folks...movie should be out sometime in 2009 so keep a look out.

I spotted this story over at Bossip. This cartoon waspublished recently in a local Florida newspaper. The satirical cartoon has been deemed by some in the black community as racist and offensive. Moreover, the NAACP has spoke out about this cartoon. What do you all think? Is the cartoon racist or is it echoing the truth in black culture? Source
