I've been saying- if the drops in the bucket we're now seeing as far as more Black faces in front of the camera is so disturbing, dust off any of the history of Hollywood's first damn near 80 years, across EVERY MAJOR studio, where the few faces of color are either demeaned or played to part by white actors or ignored all together. Have the freak at it, plenty out there and will be forever.
Mind you, this says NOTHING in regards to the amount of those Black folks behind the scenes, frozen out of the industry by decades of Hollywood unions who refused their entrances into the labor force over that same amount of time. Mirroring so many other industries as it pertains to labor in this country.
This project would have gotten a spin or two on the streams in my house cause I got littles anyway. NOW, it's a thing and I'M gonna have to sit through it on the strength, for the algorithms and for the hate, on general principle. This will be my first real sit down with anything Little Mermaid so all this promotion helped I guess.
