All of this righteous indignation. All of this social justice narrative and societal engineering.
Newsflash- Black and Brown Washing is a thing. And it will be a thing that can control you until you unhook your sense of self from the need to be an oppressed minority.
It’s interesting that a movie about a creature (mermaids don’t have a race actually…they are MERMAIDS that IS their species) that lives under the sea and is willing to give up something precious because of LOVE would inspire so much division.

Children are seeking these things in school, entertainment, Media etc; because we’ve turned our babies over to the state while we pursue “fulfillment” in our careers and because the message they are receiving from adults of ALL shades is that brown/black is an obstacle.
It’s not.
But that message has to come from YOU first which means it has to be IN you first.
It’s time to wake up.
The Little Mermaid doesn’t matter much but our children DO.
