Do u think its ok to have a "Black" girl playing the Little Mermaid ? 🐠 🐟

Her name is Halle Bailey, sister of Chloe Bailey from the tv show Grownish. Now I'm gonna be honest with you people here. As a person of color, I felt like she should have turned this role down. Why ? Because The Little Mermaid just so happens to be, White. Just like Black Lightning, is actually Black. He is a comic book character. But anyway, this is just a good example of politics. That ugly evil thing that is used to divide and conquer people. What do you think ?
Should there be a Black girl playing the Little Mermaid. They could have just made an original version of a mermaid film so that is wouldn't cause so much friction for certain people. Right. You tell me. I'm listening.
Best answer wins. ☺️ 🐟

The story is a FAIRYTALE. It is MAKE-BELIEVE. Why have adults forgotten that fictional stories are not real and a child doesn’t care about the color of another’s skin until they are told to?

@Pinkstarburst Because adults act like children nowadays. 🙂

@Zonuss That’s insulting to children Z.

@Pinkstarburst No it is not. Kids are kids, and adults are adults.
There is nothing wrong with being a kid if you are one.
Thats what I said. 🙂

@Zonuss Adults sometimes give kids a bad name. I know children who are better than many adults…much wiser.

@Pinkstarburst Adults gives themselves bad names. Children are good but they are still children meaning they do childish things.
That's my point.

@Zonuss I’ll take a child’s heart and exuberance over an adult in any form any day.

@Pinkstarburst A child is a child. Adults should acts like adults.

@Pinkstarburst No not all of us act that way. That's a generalized statement. I don't do that. You have a lot of good kind hearted people. But immaturity is rampant in our society today including the young. We all can do better.

@Zonuss I’m in a generalizing mood today and am just calling it as my eyes see it in my world right now.

I’m glad you are a bit more hopeful.
