“Tiana’s one of my very favorite Disney princesses, but it really upsets me that a lot of her fans only like her for "what” she is as opposed to who she is. There is so much more to Tiana than her just being “the first black princess,” and I only liking her because of something arbitrary like her skin color (as opposed to her awesome resourcefulness, sense of dignity, and ambition) is missing the entire point of her character, and that depresses me"

How dare you. How fucking dare you?!

Do you know how much it means to black girls and even black women that Tiana is black? Do you know what it means that little black girls have been growing up not seeing anyone who liked like them as a princess?

That when people would describe a princess a black woman did not come to mind?

Don’t you ever fucking insist that you’re the only person who likes her for who she.

Don’t you fucking dare think you are better than black women and little girls for clinging on to Tiana.
