Unless you are poor, brown, female, Jewish, or gay.

I’m not gonna tag this Disney cuz that’s rude, but I’m not into the Walt Disney worship I see here on Tumblr, or in real life. The man was a racist and sexist bigot who designed Disney Land as a tribute to a pastoral version of America that never existed. He placed it in Anaheim, where minorities who were too poor and marginalized in Southern California to, by and large, afford cars could not get to it, and instructed admissions employees to discourage them from coming. He refused to hire black or brown people except one woman who was forced to perform in near-minstrel capacity as Aunt Jemima in the Aunt Jemima Pancake House on Orleans Street. He also was a public supporter of some of the most vile anti-Semites in America.

You can talk about modern Disney and all the progress its made from these frankly nauseating beginnings, but holding Walt Disney up as some champion of individuality, self-expression, and self-esteem is a damn lie. He only wanted you to be yourself if you were white and middle class.

Don’t know if it is proper to add this but I also think that quote refers to “Male empowerment”. All of the classic Disney movies were teaching girls the role that made a generation (one which is sadly part of my own) of girls who believed they were entitled to being treated like princesses and entitled to not half to fight their own battles. So in summary, a bunch of whiny-spineless- girls who as adults didn’t change. As a woman who had friends growing up who had the Disney role model, it’s sad to see how brat like they are at almost twenty when that same behavior is what we see in girls who are three and older.

Idea…

I’m down to the last few steps of rewriting Soul’s Journal- all that’s left is to decide on where to put one liners and the really short. In my musing I remembered that for graduation last year I got a computer drawing tablet along with a program that should let me actually write on a computerized document. It’s a long shot and may not work- but since the blurbs go along with some of my pieces it’s worth a short. It’s going to be weird because, I confess, my handwriting is not overly neat. It’ll be an adventure and hopefully one that works out.

Filed under writing book hoping this will work
