We dissect EVERYTHING instead of enjoying it for the fluff that it is. It’s as if you people wouldn’t be happy unless you can find something that’s flawed in it. Brianna said this on January 18, 2010 at 12:22 AM. On 18 May 2002 at London Arena, Docklands, London, Hamed returned to the ring for what turned out to be his final boxing match, against the European champion Manuel Calvo (33 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw) for the IBO World featherweight title. i too can critique and enjoy a film.

[35] A portable version of the game was also released for the Game Boy Color, developed by Virtucraft, which later in 2002 developed a Mike Tyson based follow-up, Mike Tyson Boxing, for the Game Boy Advance.

Would that make you people happier? You do realise Tiana’s dad is voiced by John Goodman right? julianna said this on January 2, 2010 at 6:00 PM. This fight marks something of a watershed in Hamed's career, as he was forced, for the first time, to abandon his hands-down style of fighting throughout the entire course of the bout, given the calibre of Kelley. People want to change my mind. He has a fully American accent and is faking an accent for the film. In contrast, I don’t see The Princess and the Frog breaking very many barriers as you may think. In fact, I feel pretty awful now that I’ve come to that realization and have figured out that people felt left out of these Disney movies that I’ve cherished this whole time. We want to hear from you for a chance to be featured! indian-does that mean he's india-indian or native american? I myself am African-American and I am thrilled that Disney has finally gotten a black princess. You seem to think that I am the only one who objects to The Princess and the Frog not having a black prince. If Aladdin could have a Arabic princess, why can’t Tiana have a black prince? [6] A headliner on both sides of the Atlantic, Dan Rafael of ESPN writes, “one of the biggest stars in the sport, the guy sold out arenas before his opponent was even named.”[7], In 2016, ESPN ranked Hamed at number 22 on its list of the top 25 fighters, pound for pound, of the last 25 years. So Disney shows we can expect no different from them. then you can stop complaining. The point is to depict black love as normative, not just white or interracial love.

At all. I haven’t read ONE review about a KID asking, “why isn’t the Prince black?” It’s always the adults. [16] Hamed could not hit Barrera with his trademark lefts as Barrera circled to his left and worked both head and body. I don’t think their motives were sinister. If the person voicing the character has a Latino accent, then we are to assume that the character is not East Indian. It really, truly didn’t cross my mind that not having a black prince for a black princess would be offensive to African-Americans… That’s my failing, I know. He's just really tan- like some Italians and Greeks. Naveen’s pale skin tone and ambiguous race have sparked outrage among some fans, criticising the film for not making him African American too. Disney’s for everybody. I respectfully, but strongly disagree with you. It does make you wonder about how they think about black men and women and their inability to depict a loving relationship between the two. That’s right, Watermelon.

I mean, they have to sit there in the theatre, too! Not the typical East L.A. ones I see anyway. And if Oprah Winfrey has anything to say about it, she had better rev up for damage control because girlfriend is in this potential bomb, too!

Why didn’t I think of that myself!?

Really? First of all asking for a depiction of “obviously black people” in the movies is not only stereotypical but also sad. No, I heard about Away We Go just after Maya Rudolph left Saturday Night Live. He was also given a four-year driving ban. blksista said this on December 12, 2009 at 3:39 PM.

whites and asians? LOL. If I was a child I would happy to finally see someone that looks a little like me. If youre what a “true” black woman is, then God I’m glad I’m not like you. Though she began by using Odyssey as a creative outlet, she quickly learned it was so much more and soon was able to include her articles and skills (from writing and editing to SEO and social media marketing) to up her resume game. [10] After signing for Frank Warren, Hamed, employing more spectacular entrances, knocked out better opposition in Enrique Angeles and Juan Polo Pérez, both within two rounds.

But he could also be mixed.
The firefly is a CAJUN…a WHITE Cajun nonetheless. Click here for related articles on Fanlore. didn’t care at the time i was watching the movie. I'm certainly not suggesting that we all follow in the steps of a fictional character, but I am proposing that we take a good, long look at what the fairy tale is trying to teach the children of the world—and us. The point of the Naveen character is that he’s a FOREIGN prince from an unknown FOREIGN country. Pretty soon you won’t be seeing disney films like, “Cinderella.” It will be, “A tale of 2 princes, true love at last.” We are all being geared up to see homosexual couples on a regular basis on what once was, “kid friendly,” channels. Ana said this on December 19, 2009 at 10:08 PM. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Tiana’s father dies in this film, as I understand, before she comes to adulthood, possibly as a soldier in WW1; so black males are essentially absent here. What the hell is wrong with black people living happily ever with white people? Disney simply could not win, what ever way they did this! [28], Hamed was an inspiration for a number of future combat sport world champions from Britain and Ireland,[28] including British boxers such as Amir Khan,[29] James DeGale,[30] Kell Brook,[31] and Tyson Fury,[32] as well as Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor. If I were Disney, and I were accused of wimping out on Naveen because I was afraid of offending white people, though, I’d be incredibly confused because the idea doesn’t even cross my mind. Just be grateful that we finally have a beautiful African American princess at all in a Disney movie. UK sports commentator Steve Bunce called him the "most influential fighter of my 35 years in the British boxing business". I’m normally one to roll my eyes at people playing the “race card”.

I know I thought that black people would be offended if Disney made a “movie for black people”… which would be just as wrong as if they overtly made a “movie for white people.” I really think that this is just a misguided case of the golden rule. I don’t think that I would like to see an animated film that has a firefly that needs dental work, either. blksista said this on December 15, 2009 at 6:57 PM. I also think that it is okay for dark-skinned children to find that other dark-skinned people can love them as well. which would make sense in louisiana. After six months of living at home with my parents with nothing to do, my study abroad trip in May canceled, and my 21st birthday plans down the drain, going back to campus meant that I would regain some of my individuality and see my friends again. blksista said this on December 20, 2009 at 7:15 AM. Hamed's next defence was in Dublin against former two-time world featherweight title holder Manuel Medina. I’m not checking this film until it’s on DVD. Since the 1960s, marriages between black men and white women have been steadily increasing—14 percent of all black men are now married outside the race. Don’t complain about black romantic characters….Disney has ALWAYS had a black couple in love (yes Mickey & Minney! You, Blksista, asked the question repeatedly “why not a black prince for a black princess” and you yourself answered the question. Angel said this on June 27, 2009 at 9:29 PM. I didn’t mind Keanu being The One, because to me, he was a person of color, and probably was a better actor in the role than Will Smith could have ever been.

In return, these survey respondents got money back for their coffee — something any user who downloads the app can do as well (yes, even you). It does have a few SEXIST and AGEIST messages in the film that I now recognize that are dated. I know I probably should be offended but I actually think it’s brilliant! —Sean Ingle in The Guardian on Hamed’s record.[6]. it just shows kids that its okay, to like anyone you want….

I consider both family…and black.” this comment is disturbing to me, because you chose to ignore the other 1/2 of their genetic makeup, just because they look black thats what you labeled them. If Prince Naveen was an East Indian prince, then he should be dressing as such, and should be speaking as such. Excuse me but…Obama is not a prince…he is our President. I love it.
