learning about racism in ms. sutton like a button's class started out with the realization that i'm soooo naïve. i was interested at first, but after the dissection of the opening scene of aladdin, i would rather be unaware. its too late now. i went to see a movie with zach, aron, noah, and aron's dad last night and during the opening

Don't worry about it. While Ms. Sutton's intentions are good, I think she's going way too overboard on it. I mean, fuck, darkness is bad because darkness = night and bad scary robbers. It's only natural to, in a kids movie, portray all the bad people as dark because that evokes the fear in kids that the characters are supposed to. If there was godly light sorrounding the bad guy all the time it wouldn't be that bad guy. Most people just ignore racism and don't give a fuck, and that's bad, but some people go way too overboard and see raciscm like the dude sees dead people. Be somewhere inbetween. Yeah Disney probably has some subtle racism, but it's not like there intention was to hate black people.
