Because walt disney was a rascist. Check up on the history, and you will find he never employed any black people.

Mermaids have traditionally been portrayed as white. If you want a Black Disney Princess, just try getting lots of people to write letters of complaints. They might change eventually.
But why would you want to support Disney Princesses in the first place? Like Barbie, they present an unhealthy and unrealisitc body image that children try to emulate. They're terrible role models. Try finding some fairy tale characters that aren't so unrealisitc. You might find some Black ones that way too. (Actually, one that comes to mind is "The Girl That Married A Lion" by Alexander McCall Smith.)

There is going to be a black princess coming soon to a theater near you.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- The Walt Disney Co. has started production on an animated musical fairy tale called "The Frog Princess," which will be set in New Orleans and feature the Walt Disney Studio's first black princess.
The company unveiled the plans at its annual shareholders' meeting in New Orleans.
John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Disney and the Disney-owned unit Pixar Animation Studios, said the movie would return to the classic hand-drawn animation process, instead of using computer animation that has become the industry standard. He called the film "an American fairy tale."
"The film's New Orleans setting and strong princess character give the film lots of excitement and texture," Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook said.
The movie will be scored by Randy Newman, who also wrote the music for Disney's "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "Cars."
Newman performed a song from the score for the shareholders.
John Musker and Ron Clements, who co-directed "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," and "Hercules" will co-direct the movie. The pair also wrote the story for the film.
Disney said its new animated princess -- Maddy -- will be added to its collection of animated princesses used at the company's theme parks and on consumer products.
The film is set for release in 2009.

a million) Disney video clips are in accordance to ecu, Asian, American, and center jap historic previous or fairy memories. memories that cutting-aspect society has grown up listening to, that were study to us at evening. that are as undemanding because the foodstuff we devour and the air we breathe. To my information There aren't any stunning memories of African princesses, frequently because maximum of the folklore revolved round adult men, and their relationships with historic African Gods. i imagine it might want to be cool to have a black princess, on condition that the action picture replaced into made by ability of advantage and not in any respect political stress. yet in all honesty, I always idea Disney ought to do a movie on Rosa Parks, she received't were a princess yet she replaced into mind-blowing.

The stories that Disney adapted (Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid) are European in orign so the heroines are white (based on the general view of Europeans).
If someone can give them a good story involving a black heroine they might do it.

ummm how do you know black princesses don't live in castles. i think some people are getting stuck on that whole african princess thing. Not all kings live in huts, some of them live in modern homes. So disney could have an african american princess who lives in castle or anywhere else.

Yeah, this is considered to be a problem but it's now being "resolved" with the production of The Frog Princess.
