Critics are slamming Disney as owokeo and oanti-whiteo over an episode of
a kids show that features a song covering the history of slavery in the US
and the need for oreparations.o
The backlash stemmed from a Juneteenth episode of oThe Proud Family:
Louder and Prouder,o a reboot of the popular early aughts cartoon that
airs on DisneyAs streaming service Disney+.
A clip from the episode thatAs been making the rounds on social media
shows characters singing a tune about how America has ostill not atoned
foro slavery and systemic racism.
oSlaves built this country and we the descendants of slaves in America
have earned reparations for their suffering and continue to earn
reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice,
racism and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for,o the animated characters chanted from a stage.
The clip was shared by the oEnd Wokenesso Twitter account with the caption oBlatant anti-white propaganda.o
Conservative writer Christopher Rufo re-shared the video on Twitter
calling it opure critical race theory.o
oThis is toxic, divisive, and destructive,o one Twitter user wrote in the replies.
Others accused Disney of forcing a owokeo agenda down childrenAs throats.
Rufo also said the clip includes othe insane conspiracy theory that
Lincoln did not free the slaves.o
The song credits the abolitionists who fought for the end of slavery and helped sway public attitudes towards it before Lincoln signed the
Emancipation Proclamation ending it.
oWe had Tubman, Turner, Frederick D. Then they say Lincoln freed the
slaves, but slaves were men and women and only we can free ourselves. Emancipation is not freedom,o the characters sang. oJim Crow, segregation, redlining, public schools feeding private prisons where we become slaves again.o
Despite the loud criticism, the clip also garnered a lot of praise.
oThanks for sharing, absolutely excellent clip. How great to see the truth
of history in a way kids can understand,o one person replied.
The animated pre-teens u all but one of whom are black u also chant that
they odemand our 40 acres and a mule,o in reference to a promise made to
freed slaves following the Civil War in an apparent request for
reparations.
oWeAll take the 40 acres, keep the mule,o they sang. oWe made your
families rich u from the southern plantation heirs to the northern bankers
to the New England ship owners, the founding fathers, former presidents, current senatorsao
Activists more and more have called on the US government to provide reparations to the descendants of enslaved people, often in the form of financial restitution.
