Simply not true...just not true!
Sorry,

But SHE is secure with her blackness and does not need Disney or any other commercial entity to validate her existence. I am sorry that you cannot agree to disagree with resorting to name-calling and personal attacks. Part of being adult is being accountable for one's own behavior, self esteem, and image. If you do not like the image of yourself that you (or anyone else) see, then it is up to YOU to change it.

Putting this in the hands of a third party encourages inaccuracy on the part of the third party. Also it encourages powerlessness and possible regret on our part.

I was hoping to get my fellow posters to look past the tired formula of putting the responsibility for our image in the hands of others and expecting them to behave appropriately.

If I must be the "oreo" to get that point across, then okay...
