Snow White Is White Again - Disney Sends Snow Black Packing And Returns Whiteness To The Screen

It didn't take long for Disney to realize what a mistake they had made - casting a non-white woman as Snow White, an American popular icon for over eighty years.  Snow White, the alabaster princess, the symbol of goodness and purity, a magical figure, a princess to little girls, the very essence of America, a symbol of grace and mythical character converted into a woman of color, of an oppressed minority, an immigrant, a multiracial polyglot symbolizing nothing but diversity. What were they thinking?

How tone deaf.  One simply doesn’t tamper with an icon, let alone one of the icons of American popular culture.  To make matters worse, Disney transformed the seven dwarfs - innocent, childlike characters of fancy and delight - into a Breughel jamboree. Not only had Snow White become Snow Black, the entire fantasy had been distorted, transformed into a progressive side show.

The Disney revenues were under water, the film never making a fraction of what was spent to make it.  Worse than that, Disney was laughed at - a laughing stock of virally infected, woke producers, who felt that this was their time to make history.  If we make Snow White colored, they said, that will drive the final nail into the coffin of smug white supremacy. 

For over seventy years Disney had made itself into the embodiment of American traditional family values.  If Disney does it, it must be right, wholesome, and American; so banking on this assumption, the producers used this reputation to turn the wheel, to be an instrumental force for racial and gender inclusivity.

 

An error of judgment of monumental proportions. Their corruption of Snow White did more to accelerate popular revulsion with the woke agenda than any other one thing.  It was the straw that broke the camel's back, the one event that  made Americans shout Basta! 

They should have known better given the absurdity of Bud Light's transgender rebranding.  Bud, the beer of steelworkers, truck drivers , bass boat fishermen, night shift assembly line workers, Walmart greeters, and the run of the mill Americans, was now being sold as a gay beer. 

It drove men who had drunk Bud for decades to pass it up.  Parodies, satires, incredible send-ups made the rounds and went viral.  The elite assumption that even dock workers were ready to embrace the gender spectrum was shown to be one of the worst in modern marketing.  

Then came Jaguar, which in a perverse, inalterably foolish and ignorant segue, pushed diversity to the limits and in so doing erased decades of an image of cool, British, stylish wealth - the motor equivalent of Ralph Lauren and replaced it with a weird assortment at the far end of diversity - freaky looking models challenging the white idea of beauty, charm, and appeal.  

Had the advertising agency not realized that the buying public - especially those attracted to Jaguar's traditional white, English appeal - had had quite enough of being preached to, talked down to, demeaned, and insulted?

So, volte face, a complete reversal.  Black faces will disappear from every Disney movie, television series, and advertisement.  The media will be straight and white again. Sexual, gender, and ethnic minorities will appear but in proportion to their demographic representation if that.  

Racist? Of course not.  The market has no particular friends, no political opinion, no ax to grind. Advertise those products which will sell to particular consumer groups.  Who buys what and who might buy what?

All it took was seven months of an outspoken president to give cover to all those who had become fed up with censorship, intimidation, and racial badgering.  White people should be rightfully proud of their European heritage and be suspicious of one which, despite its complete lack of historical agency, is being sold as superior. 

Farrington Lynch, associate of Nigel Farage, conservative British politician who has roundly called out the infection of Islamization has not hesitated to all it a medieval pretense, a culture which has trapped itself in a time warp, refusing modernization and turning to violence, venomous hatred, and racism. Even more outspoken has been Christopher Hitchens who dismissed Islam as an ignorant scourge, a challenge for even those who protest the God is the patriarch of all religions.  

Alden Hardy, Associate Professor of Linguistics and Cultural Evolution has taken up the same cudgel in America, saying that the attempts by the Left to lionize Africa are grounded in ignorance and idealistic distortion 

The African veldt, he points out, is still a culture of thatch, mud, and wattle, unchanged in millennia whereas European civilization has progressed from ancient Greece and Rome, the empires of France and England to the modern, evolved, superior culture of today.  Its monuments, architecture, aqueducts and roads, the jurisprudence and civil society, the philosophy, science, and arts and letters are testimonies to the influence, importance, and legacy of greatness 

The progressive Left wails and cries 'Foul!'.  The black man cannot disappear from view.  He is still on his way to the top of the human pyramid, a sentient, endowed man of the forest of superior sensibilities and intelligence only held down by the white man.  Just when he is primed to take his rightful superior place in human society, you cannot let up and let him down. 

Bullshit! shout millions of Americans who with patience, commitment, and responsibility have given the black man the benefit of the doubt and waited for over sixty years since the Civil Rights Act to see some improvement but seen none.  Most black people still live in poverty, social dysfunction, and anti-social lassitude. 

The zero-sum equation is what has irked the American majority the most - the Left has demeaned, derogated, and vilified white people as a means of legitimizing blacks.  Since white people are responsible for blacks' persistent lagging in every socio-economic category, they must be called out for the oppressors and racists they are.  

'Snow White is white again', said an executive vice-president of Disney to a group of investors.  'The company has learned its lesson and will once again be America's company.'

The investors took a 'let's-wait-and-see' position as they well should.  First all the executives and producers responsible for the Snow Black fiasco must be replaced and in there place must be only those with good broad American sensitivities. Then and only then would the Wall Street faucets be turned on again. 

The Union of Actors of Color (UAC) of course protested.  They had been given walkin' around money for years.  A black face was worth millions during the Biden Administration, and now it was almost worthless.  The union demanded a seat at the table, a part in every movie, a black face in every television series but this time nobody in the boardroom was listening.   

No more DEI Office of Racial Equality at Disney, nowhere to turn for the black actor who now had to compete on the basis of talent and talent alone.  No more black Hamlet, King Lear, or Macbeth, no more racial preferences, quotas, and favors. 

It's about time say most Americans, tired of the hammering, preaching, and hectoring; the elitist, demeaning disregard, the arrogant, self-righteous moral judgements. Back to basics.  Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin where white men.
