Van Stone: Trick Question- Ariel, The Little Mermaid Was Black All
Along? Most Of The Fables Of Old, Adopted By Disney. -Were Black?
The story of The Little Mermaid by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is one of the best known and loved Western fairy tales in America, Europe, India and China, to name a few territories. Why? Because the original creators of make-believe stories like The Little Mermaid were all Black European Authors. For real? I should know… I am a fantasy writer myself.
This is not a some Black people really want to be included in a White people thing. Black stories of old just somehow always been great stories to listen to and read.
So, get ready for a Black Ariel coming soon to a movie theater near you.
The iconic Disney cartoon character Ariel – with her porcelain skin, blue eyes and fiery hair – is widely recognized. But, that’s America for you. As you may well know, just about every classical fable, a short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral, was about Black peoples.
Disney never shared that information with his audience when he was alive.
After all, it’s just a fantasy character, right?
Because Ariel the mermaid is actually a make-believe animal, the original writer wrote a story about how once upon a time the world of talking fish would meet the world of talking people and then one day share both those worlds because of true love, respect, honor, value, fairness, understanding nobility, having equality and discovering courageousness.
What time period was it when Blacks were nobles? The time period(s) when Blacks were Out of Europe, that’s when.
Africa is not the only territory where and when we Black folk were nobles, taking the lead to balance out the power of love verses hate. Groups of Black peoples were nobles through out all the lands of Europe too.
It was Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, just like many of his contemporaries did know the truth about Black nobility in Europe, who read what Black writers had written about mermaids and then afterwards retold the story.
Although most of us young people were taught something different about the European peoples, The Danish of Europe, or The Danes of Europe, were groups of Black peoples.
They moved about from land to land by the sea. And many of them wondered what was going on under the sea. And so, many fantasy stories were made up and then written down- so much for the lies that Black people were illiterate and that mainly White Europeans were those great with imagination and the use of the pen to express their imagination.
I wrote an article about them many times before. Fact is, most of the most successful stories put together by Disney were retold stories- stories retold by authors like Hans Christian Andersen.
But the original writers were most often always ignored.
During a deeper time of racism and discrimination, it would have been almost impossible for Disney to produce a Black Ariel for all audiences to see.
Many people are saying that they’re not going to pay to see the Black Ariel. But it just goes to show you that groups of Black people have always been thrown into a debate even when they have no clue why there’s a debate.
If Snow White was Black, and each and every fairy tale princess story put out by Disney was originally written as a Black young woman, well then, so what? They were.
Black Panther of Africa, or Ariel of Europe, we’ll take em. Prince and Princess. Blacker Pride.
