The Proud Family: Louder and Woker–Disney Promotes Hatred

Disney is under fire again for indoctrinating our children with woke drivel. A recent episode entitled “Juneteenth” of the animated series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder aired at the beginning of this month in celebration of Black History Month. The episode contained a scene pushing historical mistruths and a demonization of the United States.

During a performance reminiscent of a beatnik poetry slam, several of the main characters proclaim together, “And we the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in the systemic prejudice, racism, and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.” The characters go on to assert that Abraham Lincoln did not actually free slaves and insinuate that he has been falsely lionized in American history. “Emancipation is not freedom,” they contend, followed by a litany of ways that African Americans have supposedly remained slaves. All of this is accompanied by the repeated drumbeat trope of “Slaves built this country!”

Rhetoric of this sort has also been found in the infamous work of The 1619 Project and is linked to Critical Race Theory, all of which has been scrutinized by historians as not being truthful or based in fact. Despite the pushback, activists instead employ subtle brainwashing tactics. If you repeat a lie enough, people will believe it. What’s more, if you teach children to repeat your lie, the adults will believe it.

The Proud Family was originally broadcast on the Disney Channel in the early 2000s and remained politically neutral for the most part. They covered child appropriate topics such as friendships, family tensions, and school bullying. When Disney asked the original creators about launching the reboot a decade later, it seemed as if they were angling for a more woke version.

According to the series creator Bruce Smith in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Disney asked him and his colleague Ralph Farquhar, “So how do you guys feel about if we decided to do The Proud Family again? What would you do?” Farquhar stated that their main changes would involve a blatant political and cultural agenda: “Well, we knew from 2001, when we first started doing the show, that maybe the two biggest things that we could see that changed, especially as it related to young people, was the emergence of social media and gender and identity issues — the LGBTQ community rising in prominence and demanding its rightful recognition if you will. And so that’s where we knew we had to take the show.”

Furthering that sentiment, Smith added, “We didn’t want to place that aside in telling our stories, we want to integrate those stories because, at the end of the day, our show really is the pinnacle of diversity and inclusion. And we wanted to make sure that this show looks like when you walk outside of your door and get together with all your peers and your friends, this is what the world looks like.”

Smith’s final statement really says it all. “This is what the world looks like.” An animated television show with a majority non-white band of characters is what the United States looks like? From the scene depicted above alone, one sees almost exclusively black characters, and the one white character performing on the stage is silent, most assuredly on purpose. This is not what the world looks like, but it might be what Smith and Farquhar WANT the world to look like.

Silencing and demonizing white people seems to be exactly what Smith and Farquhar are aiming to do. In hiring for the writing and production of The Proud Family reboot, they even admitted to purposely hiring almost exclusively people of color. “[W]e enlisted a whole different group of people to help us make this show. We hired two African American women as directors. We got artists, people of color at every level in the writing room, PAs, producers. I mean, that’s gone a long way to help making the show even a more authentic voice,” Farquhar said.

In essence Smith and Farquhar have said the quiet part out loud. They will not be happy until America is full of self-flagellating, silent white people working themselves to the bone to atone monetarily for the sins of the past. The only way to dismantle white supremacy is to institute white slavery.

How do Smith and Farquhar enact this vision of America? They target children. They use cartoons and entertainment to push their propaganda and inbreed a sense of self-hatred, racism, and anti-patriotism. Disney is not only on board with this vision, they are actively seeking out people to make it a reality. Disney preys upon the working class American hoping that they will blindly pay for a product and never question or pay attention to the indoctrination they have allowed into their home.
