To hell with Fox News. They’re a bunch of irrational, biased, intolerant, backwards-minded, imbeciles. Instead of discussing the topic of black representation in Disney films, which Angelina proposed, Laura Ingraham spent time insulting Angelina Jolie’s appearance and lifestyle. What does that have to do with the discussion? Fox News is full of negative people. Fox New is Armageddon to America :)

In the end, I agree with Angelina Jolie’s opinion.

[...] event, but one of my favorite discussions that we had here on PittWatch, we all talked about the disappointment that Angelina expressed over a lack of black Disney princesses. Brad slipped quietly out of France [...]

A. Jolie didn’t “bring out a debate” or try to “bring up an issue”, she made an offhand comment about something that was frustrating at that time: kid wants a black princess – can’t find a black princess. As a parent I know, kids always seem to be able to want the one thing there’s NONE of at the store.
And she’s right! There AREN’T any Disney black princesses. (Lioness is kinda close though right..? “NO. Princess!” defines the kid.)
This Laura character is straight up ignorant AND obnoxious. What would she even know about being a black child in America. “We had that…’Mulan’ character, that’s enough!”

I don’t think many people would confuse a comment made while shopping to a campaign/political/racist agenda.

Has anyone seen the fabulous Makeda, The Queen of Sheba doll with her storybook and audio CD at ethidolls.com? Even the fabric for her traditional dress is hand-woven in Ethiopia. Now there’s a worthy African doll for Zahara representing her native land. I hope Angelina finds her.

I think Laura Ingraham is completely justified in her opinion, especially since the talk show host recently went over to Guatemala and adopted an orphan from there(Maria Caroline). I don’t think her point was so much that Angelina Jolie is completely off base but just that she didn’t need to share that opinion with the media. Angelina gets so much media for everything she says and does, and I’ll agree that she does use her fame for good in her charity work. But this issue was better discussed privately and not to the media. Bringing attention to something like this is not really neccessary. Topics like this are best left out of interviews. And I highly doubt the question was directly about that, so it was Ms. Jolie’s choice to bring that into the discussion.

This has been a very wonderful discussion, and I’m glad to read the opinions of everyone. I agree with many, don’t agree with some, but it’s been a good exchange. I still think Fox made a mountain out of a molehill, and once again chose one small sentence from Angie and amplified it to make it sound like she’s so high and mighty. She was probably just expressing her disappointment, and rightly so, but Fox had to make it like she was on a warpath with Disney. Thank you for the many posters who enlightened me even more.
