Disney has gone fully woke, and it’s not pretty. A new cartoon aimed at children is full of every left-wing trope about race and racism imaginable. The student characters repeatedly say America was built by slavery, that Lincoln didn’t free the slaves, and push the false ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ lie about the death of Michael Brown.
Nate Hochman writes at National Review:
Disney+ to America’s Children: Lincoln Didn’t Free the Slaves“Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” a recent Disney+ reboot of the original “Proud Family” children’s cartoon (2001–05), was always going to be a social-justice routine. The franchise’s addition of new characters such as “Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins, a 14-year-old activist who isn’t afraid to use her voice for good” (per Seventeen) and singer-activist Lizzo — playing, for some reason, herself — had all the trappings of the ongoing effort to politicize even the most innocuous and innocent cultural products. As the Disney Channels Worldwide president said during an interview in early 2020, the company wanted the reboot to renew the original show’s “brilliant social commentary on our life and times,” delivered “under the guise of a family comedy.” Parents may be surprised to hear that “family comedy” needs to be a “guise” for anything at all, but such is the state of American culture.
More from the Daily Wire:
In the cartoon, that last line was punctuated by four black students glaring while the only white student on the stage with them held a sign that read “still has not atoned for.”“Slaves built this country,” they shouted again, claiming, “We made your families rich,” as they listed plantation owners, northern bankers, New England ship-owners, the Founding Fathers, and current senators among those who had profited on the backs of slaves.The cartoon even included the debunked “Hands up, don’t shoot” claim that originated after the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
The next time someone on the left claims that Ron DeSantis is provoking a culture war with Disney, you might want to share this video with them:
This is Disney in the 21st century? It’s a sickening display.
