The New Ariel Live-Action Film Halle Bailey "Controversial or Prejudice?"

My Beautiful Brown Life Speaks™

In this episode, I will be talking about a topic that is an ongoing discussion and why our culture is still divided. Recently Disney released new details on the new Live Action film "Ariel" and announced the actress who will be singing under the sea. Halle Bailey will be our Ariel, she one of the stars of the Freeform television show "Grownish", plus one half of the duo Chloe X Halle. This new live-action film became a trending topic, not because of the excitement of Ariel being a live-action film, but the fact that Ariel will be an African American girl instead of the original representation of a pale face red-haired mermaid. This does not come as a shock to me that Halle is receiving backlash, but social media is making this a prejudice situation instead of mere dislike. We are all lovers of movies and at some point, we envision movie characters like ourselves, so why is Halle Bailey receiving this backlash when Will Smith who played the iconic Robin Williams character as the Genie in Disney's "Aladdin" was welcomed? This is borderline line favoritism and another example that gender still plays a factor in any industry. Today we are taking back our voice and letting go of these harmful stereotypes.
