I'm asking this question for another family member. You're only bringing up the NAACP because of my photo and I resent that. I don't know anything about them except I think they have minority scholorships. They have NOTHING to do with this question and my race has nothing to do with this question. Just answer it or move on.

ONCE AGAIN i'm not asking this because i'm black...we all know there are other races in this world besides white and black so think of the hispanics, natives and so on when you answer this question. thank you.

I know Willie Gary won a $240 million verdict against Disney, and I would assume that there was some racial allegation involved, but a civil case is not a "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" standard, so I would not assume the Disney company is racist just b/c of this.

LOL How do you figure the Walt Disney Company is racist? Most of their employees are of other countries, races, etc. Try going to Walt Disney World. Almost everyone who works at any of the parks or resorts is from some other country. They've even built DisneyLand Parks in other countries, like France, Japan, China, and once was to be built in India.) And they have other races in their movies... Princess Jasmine, Aladdin, Mogley, Mulan, Pocahontas, etc. If you're going to ask such a stupid, thoughtless question, you may want to specify what you're talking about exactly. Because as far as I'm concerned, the company's not racist in any way. You're a dumbass.

Actually I don't think they are Racist at all, other than they try not to offend any culture. More or less afraid of being sued by people who think everyone is out to get them. Which could be anyone and everyone. Sheesh even some are trying to boycott Disney saying they're to sexual and don't bring god enough into their films.

Actually, the Disney company isn't racist. They fear "misrepresentation" of black people. They are scared that if they make the lips too big, the butt too big, the thighs too big, make the face look too ape-like, that people will wage war against that. If anything, they are trying to be more respectful, by avoiding the situation altogether.
This was told to me by my very good friend, who is African American and has looked into this. Instead of accusing Disney right of the bat for being racist, she was proactive and looked into it first. Try it.
*********IN RESPONSE TO YOUR UPDATE************
...if you aren't referring to Disney not portraying black people, then who are you talking about? They've covered just about every other race.
