Disney+ has rebooted the “Proud Family” animated series from the early 2000s, which had me very excited until I saw this clip. Now I’m dead inside. Let’s get into it.

The audience cheering only means that the writers are patting themselves on the back and sniffing their own farts.
@Brianna Jenell Too bad it doesn't put them in the ground.
They're going for the Twitter Activists crowd.
@Brianna Jenell The show is still worked up by the creators of the original and it has the same writers
I clapped I felt it and this was wholesome kids needs to be taught this and not no lgbtq bull ishhh
Username story plz
As a male white kid, I also watched Proud Family as a child, and the show was a perfect example of how representation doesn't have to, and more over, shouldn't, alienate. If you want people from a different race, sex, religion, culture, to understand you, empathize with you, and support you, you don't do it by turning against them and making them your enemy. This 'us' verses 'them', obsessing over our differences, and demanding the other side to listen to your struggles, while discounting theirs, only serves to further the wedge between us.
Racism can only perpetuate if we are cognizant of our racial differences, so why then do we focus on the later when we want to end the former? Drawing a line in the sand, and segregating based on our differences, does not lesson the divisional power of those differences, it eccentuates them, it does not unite, it divides. We are essentially giving power to the racial conflict, when our actual desire should be to de-esculate it.
👏👏👏
👏 👏 👏
Beautifully said👏🏽 I’m half white and half black so the “black vs white” argument is so tiresome for me when I’m literally both races lol I’m beyond over it.
I completely agree with you. I also believe that the point of this is to not bring people together. It seems like it’s purposefully done to be divisive. It’s up to us to look past it and work together.
And that's exacly what the left wants, divde, and conquer.
As a black woman! I can see that Disney is really trying hard for people to look at eachother differently. It’s never let us as different races start to work with eachother from now on because the past is unfixable. It’s always something negative. Because as a person who isn’t racist I don’t look at people and see their race I literally see a human being with the same or different biological features as me. My biggest problem is that this is going to influence children to start looking at eachother different it’s sad..
White man here. You know how every family had that one show that they’d all sit down and watch together? Proud Family and Fresh Prince of Bel Air were mine. The fact that the protagonists were black weren’t relevant to our enjoyment. What was cool about both shows was that it didn’t matter that the protagonists were black, but it also didn’t shy away from the fact that they were black. It was through a black lense, but it was about the American experience. The bottom line was understanding and empathy. I don’t know what this new reboot is about, but it seems to be spitting on the message sent from the original program. It’s sad
@@mikeydubbs8565 growing up me and my friends loved Rambo , Jackie Chan and Powerpuff girls though we were male and from Kenya. We just loved them plain and simple
As long as the parents teaches their young ones right from wrong the kids are going to be okay I just really hope they don't get influenced by both the woke and anti-woke groups in my eyes are both parties have problems
@@animezilla4486 And that is the key. While I can kind of understand why people are upset about this I have seen similar if not slightly darker stuff growing up watching Captain Planet. Shoot even Static shock had some serious themes. I'm a 90s kid by the way. I think the only way I could really understand why people upset about this was because of how it was presented again when I look at 90 shows about how they dealt with serious themes I feel like everyone could relate but I do think parents need to have the conversation with the kids to make sure they don't lose their way and start thinking extreme.
"As a black woman!"
"Because as a person who isn’t racist I don’t look at people and see their race"
What?
How the Proud Family handled race and different ethnicities back in the day was wonderful. One of the episodes that showed this was when there was a school project where everyone had to switch households for a time. Penny went to live with a Muslim family. The way they did that episode 👌🏾. The way they did a lot of kids' shows back then was amazing. They didn't go about blaming people, victimizing people, or separating us when we needed to come together. They didn't CONTINUOUSLY bring up racism or privilege.
Nowadays, shows are teaching kids how one race are victims and how the other race should be ashamed of themselves. How one race is the privilege and the other is underprivileged and needs all the help and the other none at all. Smh, today's kids are sadly fkd.
It feels like they're doing this on purpose, things aren't shown in shows "Just cause" what narrative are they trying to create, what are they trying to say/influence
I genuinely HATE modern day movies and television shows. It’s why I don’t watch tv🤦🏾♀️
Same. 100%. Doubly so for Disney.
You wonder why anime and Manga are still winning
i mostly watch classic shows and Movies like Beverly hills cop, Red dawn, and LEthal weapon
It’s true tho.
Yep true cinema and entertainment died in the 2010’s
People who are not racist don’t really see or notice any difference other than skin color and cultures, and appreciate those differences. Big companies like Disney are trying to make people see the differences and be bitter and angry about them.
Which just proves that they are the real racists here.
Everyone sees skin color, but people who aren't racist don't pay attention to it on purpose. When they are made to pay attention to it, they get irritated that its being made into such a big deal.
@@joshuayonemura2572 not really, non racist people would be happy to be educated on systemic disparity and issues that bipoc have to go through
@@geki1344 When it’s legitimate, yes. When you start pushing critical race theory & declaring false victimhood based on Marxist propaganda & using words like “bIpOc” I want to watch you fall down a flight of stairs.
@@TheDoctorOfMDMA Just because you are too fucking stupid to look up what bipoc is does not mean that its some sort of propaganda terminology. Its literally an acronym for "Black, Indigenous, and people of color". also critical race theory isn't bad, its just thinking critically about the systemic effects of racism in the US?
I think about watching "Hey Arnold" growing up, and how it also had a broad range of people represented, and never made it a big deal.
Me and my close black friend joked about being Arnold and Gerald when we went back to watch the show later on in high school.
I hope they don't reboot that and ruin it.
*How I miss animation shows like : Hey Arnold!* 💔
I hope so too
Another episode this season focused on the character Zoe being asked out by a guy she did not know only likes white girls. Instead of letting her know, the group of friends get angry at her and takes back her invite to a party Penny has every year. Instead of the characters taking accountability for how they treated her, it ends with her proudly saying that he admitted to it and she is no longer going out with him. 🤬
Honestly I Wouldn't Be Friends With These People Same in The Original Show Penny's Friends Are Just Dickheads Even Penny is a Bit of an Asshole
Which is hypocrisy at its best because if it was the other way around, if a black guy would only date black girls, it would be considered bold and would be glorified because to these people, racism only goes one way...
Bro they never showed him liking *Just* white girls either. The dude walked past other WHITE girls to get to zoey, the only one not fawning over him!
I remember (as a white young girl) watching the proud family episode about martin Luther king back in the day. I believe penny had somehow went back in time and saw how segregated schools were. Her and her white friend zoe i believe (also was her in this current clip) united. Honestly i think I teared up at the end of that episode when penny did a rendition of MLK’s speech. It was a perfect way to showcase it’s audience a part of our history but showed the power of everyone getting along. United we stand, divided we fall. The rhetoric being taught in this clip of the reboot is inherently divisive.
The teacher keeps saying throughout the episode that a person who doesn't understand the past, won't have a future.
Just remember the first time America lost slavery on its books was because of black man sued another black man who was an indentured servant because he was too lazy to work off his debt and slave their own over here the same way they sold their own on the shores of Africa so it's BLM nothing American government that it was reparations 🙄
One of the first slave ships ever hit the shores in America we jailed the Muslim sailors and we paid the cost to send those people home but we don't teach that in our schools so they can teach us on TV only because we're too stupid to educate our children to stand up to it
@@ChildOfTheFlower And that would be correct America is a very proud history and they are effectively stamping it out so it seems that they would be incredibly right unfortunately
I remember that episode!!!!!
Yall I just found this out last night...
My 15-year-old white niece goes to a school where the majority are black students. At the end of last month, she and other white students started receiving messages thru text and social media saying things like "black history month is almost here yall need to be ready". Then on February 1st, some of the black students started sending their Cash App info to the white students. My niece is going through a lot of stuff right now and just got out of a mental health hospital 2 weeks ago. Now she is being forced to send money to classmates just because she's white and they're black. If she refuses to send money she'll get labeled a racist and beat up.
My niece and the other white students are terrified to report this to the school. My sister (her mom) is trying to get screenshots to take to the school board but my niece is scared they will find out it came from her phone.
It's not all the black students fault... it's stuff like the new proud family is saying that is pushing these kids to believe they have the right to do this to white students.
I still can't believe this is happening... we aren't sure what to do from here.
are those students names the Gross Sisters?!
Teenagers bullying each other. Such a new problem! 🙄
Take her out of the school and either 1) put her in a different, better school or 2) homeschool her yourself or find an online school. That is ridiculous that any student should have to deal with being threatened like that: school is supposed to be a place of learning, and no one can learn while literally being threatened. Encourage other parents to do the same. I am sure not all the black kids are down with this either. The school will get the idea bad stuff is happening when parents take their kids out of the school system and find better education for them.
@vicom134 You got to admit out of all bullying tactics, black students threatening white students for black history month reparations is brand new lol
@@vicom134 yes but it's STILL messed up. And in this case it's really messed up.
I'm a white girl, I went to a predominantly black school most of my life. Even if I didn't I believe I would have still loved the Proud Family. I watched it all the time with my friends at their homes during sleepovers, and stuff like that, and also at home on my own. Even as middle schoolers at the time we still loved this show, and That's So Raven, and Sister Sister. We also watched Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies, and Lizzie McGurie, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven and Evan Stevens etc. I loved that we could all watch things together during that time, and just enjoy them, and not worry about the fact the characters in the shows looked like us or not. I'm not saying that's not cool because me being more of a curvier girl I loved Raven just because she was the only one on Disney Channel that had a body that looked like mine in some way. However, seeing this is very disheartening because the Proud Family was such a GREAT show, and they killed it.
Remember that the Disney producer who was BRAGGING about her “not at all secret gay agenda” was a “Proud Family” producer.
I wonder why Michael in that reboot looked a lot like her!
THE FACT THAT THEY CAN EVEN MAKE THIS SCENE HONESTLY PROVES HOW DIFFERENT THE WORLD IS. WAY TO KILL YOUR MESSAGE.
Disney has ruined a lot of childrens childhoods
Definitely not doing that to myself.
It's not just Disney that's doing it other companies are doing it as well
Not ducktales that reboot is fire. Better then the original.
No they didn’t lmao 😂
Why y’all acting like the original wasn’t woke there was literally an episode where someone tp’d their house and spray painted go back to your country on their garage
Nostalgia blindness is a crazy thing
Maybe it’s just trying to open a conversation according to the writers online
@@PokeMadness1996 yea the show was always political wtf they winning about
I knew I smelled a rat when I watched the first episode, and one character's whole personality was going "sheeeeesh" 🤒 and then the new character that is all about activism 🤢 now this? 🤮
One of my favorite Christmas specials is the proud family one about Kwanzaa. It's just about the Proud Family learning about it, then, the family that taught them weren't real and led them to a homeless white family for Oscar to get the dad a job. A wholesome story celebrating black culture and togetherness of white people and black people. What. A. Difference.
I feel like people often forget the slave trade was a TRADE. You know what that means? Africa was not only giving black people from their country but was TRADING THEM for goods. This was a business transaction they should be asking Africa for reparation too. Smh
Either way it's old as hell and we need to move on. As a black person I'm so tired of this bull always trying to shove this victim mentality onto black people.
Also Do The Writers Not Know
It Wasn't Just Black People That Were Enslaved
White People Have Been Enslaved Hell the Word Slave comes From the Word Slavic
Black People Have Owned Slaves
Natives Have Enslaved Other Tribes Even Before Europeans showed up
Some Tribes Owned Black Slaves
& Were On The Side of the Confederacy During The Civil War.
Lets Not Forget The Arab Slave Trade The British Fought Those Slave Traders Along With Other Traders in Africa. the arab slave trade, a major component of african history, lasted more than 13 centuries. it began in the early seventh century and continued in one form or another until the 1960s. in mauritania slavery was officially outlawed only in august 2007
Every Race Has Enslaved Each Other
White Enslaved Whites
Blacks Enslaved Blacks
Arabs Enslaved Arabs
Asians Enslaved Asians
Natives Enslaved Natives.
Its One Of The Oldest Practices In Human History. Cause Humanity Has The Power To Make Each Other Their Bitch.
Yea, and the fact that slavery was happening all over the world
I grew up on The Proud Family and I hate how the reboot has ruined it. Also, Lacienaga is a latina. Why does she need reparations?
Latinx you racist.
Good point
Jill biden stole her tacos
To be fair Latinos have faced persecution as well. Then again claiming to be black just for some quick cash it right within character.
STFU THE REBOOT DIDMT RUINED THE SHOW AT ALL
Let Disney learn by loss of profit. This is ridiculous
Don't worry I'm letting Disney learn by loss of profit. But Amala and the others really need to stop getting their entertainment from Hollywood and get somewhere else like anime, Manga, stuff from Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India, Daily Wire etc.
@@vinzingerakaelotakuakatheweebp European cinema too.
As a redhead, I am not going to rest until there is a ginger studies program in every university. Why are all the clowns redheads? Raggedy Ann and Andy is a minstrel show!
@@resilientrecoveryministries for a long time in history, red hair was considered a sign of evil...at least in Western Europe and among catholics and luterans/protestants. Aa for way this CLOWN and GINGER relation...I dont know, maybe a clown previously had some sinister meaning.🤔🤷♀️
@@lenarosic Previously considered a sign of evil? Why is the devil red? Studies show that women turn down redheaded men more than men with other colored hair. I need a research grant to study how red hair affects salaries and lending practices. But something tells me there is a reason they it "red-lining"
In the late 90s and early 00s; Nickelodeon, Disney and cartoon network were incredibly diverse. I'm 29 now. My generation had great shows with valuable lessons. Race wasn't even spoken of on the shows. Yes there were characters of all different backgrounds, but it wasn't really acknowledged cuz they taught us to look at each other as individuals and not by color. This shit is getting crazy
👆🏽 *This!* 👆🏽
@@scarlett19b thnx
@DetDay, Race was spoke on in Static Shock and Proud family.
@@Stew91 not like it is today tho. It's too much. Speaking about it more, creates more and more resentment and division
It's so weird to me when they say we never had diverse shows until now. Like, as an also biracial (latina/white) 90s kid/Y2K teen I grew up watching The Cosby Show, Hangin with Mr. Cooper, Sister Sister, The Proud Family, The George Lopez Show, Taina, Smart Guy, My Brother & Me, Gullah Gullah Island, Jett Jackson, Kenan & Kel, and many many more (that's all I could think of off the top of my head). The reason I think no one ever realizes that is because they were never made into this huge ordeal about the first ever show to do this, or have that etc. They were just really good shows, we dont associate with them with diversity, we just associate them with good tv we grew up on.
And yeah as a mixed kid it was awesome to watch shows like Taina and characters like Carmen from George Lopez etc go through their quinceanera or issues dealing with immigrated generational family dynamics, but it never felt super forced or like some sort of after school special tv show where theres a character for every minority group. Again, they were just characters going through a story and you could identify with them in some way no matter who you were - which to me is kind of half the point of wanting diversity/inclusion etc in your stories.
Right! As a black woman I watched all those things growing up. I also watched Lizzie McGuire, Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, Kim possible, the brothers Garcia, friends etc and honestly i don’t recall it ever occurring to me specifically race or political messaging 🤔 they were just funny shows with kids going through the same things as as I was
There is a certain sector of black americans who go by the names FBA and ADOS who believe that they do not have representation on TV. They don't even like other black ethnic groups getting roles which they believe should go to black americans. They have filtered down into the mainstream and liberals have picked up on this and are now creating division between everybody. Gen Z are being affected by this predominantly as they are chronically online, so they truly feel as though they have zero representation. Which those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s know isn't true. We live in sad times.
Agreed I like learning about different cultures but not when they force us to bow down to them.
*How about : Braceface, As told by Ginger, Hey Arnold!?*
Because they hate you and your childhood experiences. They hate the past, they want to "fix" it all.
And they get an ego about it. Imagine all the back-pats and "this episode is so important"s.
You wouldn’t hate slavery?
They're not fixing it, they're ruining it.
"Kill the past, let it die if you have to"
-Disney Star Wars
That reminds me of Kylo's comment from Star Wars: the Last Jedi when he said to "kill the past, stomp it out". They want you to forget what you grew up with and only want you to focus on what they tell you.
Thanks for this. I am a white, retired K teacher who taught many minority children how to read, do math, write and study science. I was just called "rich, white B" over and over by 2 big high school dudes in my upstate NY town, all the way down the street for 2 blocks, from across the street. Thought about turning back but stubbornly continued on my way. 66 years old.
👍
@@briannajenell Anyone can speak stereotypes. What bothers me the most in all of this is that the "trans" lobby force teams with "anti-racist" dogma, and my ex, the man who calls himself "Mom" of our 2 sons, was actually, pretty prejudiced. I stopped us from renting fr a bad landlord who wanted to know what color our friends are. He "liked" the place.
Some much for respecting out elders
@@kenpo-animations3322 This was my concern. The Disney show Amala references has a great deal of snappy, out-of-bounds, children who missed a nap talk.
@Ute Heggen Are you referring to the original Proud Family or the trash reboot?
I can't believe we live in a world where Beavis and Butthead (reboot) is better than The Proud Family (reboot)
Surprised they didn't turn them into the Pride Family
i dont get whats happening with disney they do diversity well in the modern age, look at moana, soul, the incredibles, encanto, pocahontas, mulan , aladdin to name a few, its like when they try tell a good story they succeed when they try to lecture they lose, just keep doing the good stories
The likes of Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Mulan were made a generation or longer ago, so its very likely that vanishingly few of the people that worked on or were running things in that era remain to be involved with the monster that Disney has become.
As a Hispanic I demand reparations for the enslavement of my people in 8th century by the Moors. Or dose reparations only work for some people .
More people should be talking about this. It's about time. PASS THE COLLECTION PLATE, PEOPLE.
Me speaking as a white male it's important to understand that 400 years of oppression under the Roman Empire set us back for generations. And I would like the descendants in Italy to compensate the UK. #takeakneeitaly
Lol same here and yet we don’t complain about it since it’s history lol the past
Every race has been slaves... They're so focused on past slavery, what about modern slavery in Africa?

They love being victims, even when they live comfortable lives. Even a thousand years later they will act like victims

@@MysticaI_Orb I loved Phineas and Ferb!!
10:09 I respectfully disagree, this show isn't attempting to solve racism, rather it's attempting to foment racism. This is from "the answer to past injustice is future injustice" school of thinking. Interestingly if one thinks about this philosophy for more than 10 seconds you realize it creates a never-ending cycle of hate based musical chairs with only the victimized and victimizer swapping places.
Touché!
Yes, summed it up perfectly.
The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss was ahead of it’s time
The OG proud family was one of my favorite Disney shows back in the early 2000s when I was a kid.
Same
I'm glad more people are speaking up about this. This show is worse than Velma and doesn't get talked about enough. I think it's worse because this show is targeted at children and trying to indoctrinate them with racist divisional politics.
I'm so glad you did a video on this. I'm white and watched proud family all of the time as a kid with no thought of race. I was debating on watching this with my daughter but worried they would've done something like this, so I waited to see if anyone did a review of it. I'm so done with disney and all of the other companies that are trying to brainwash kids!

@@Kylorin235the ducktales reboot was probably the only good reboot from Disney. Inoffensive, unpolitical, just a reboot that updated what was lost. Too bad it got cancelled.
As soon as I heard "Louder and Prouder" I knew it was going to suck.
They talked about race in the old show as well... the one that stands out was when Penny had a dream back in 50s and I believe that was handled better then this... smh... 😮💨
I remember when in the OG series for Black History month Penny didn’t take the assignment seriously because her parents and grandmothers past seemed foreign to her and why wouldn’t it? Most kids can’t imagine their parents time or time when they didn’t have basic things.
So Penny was warped into 1955 and where she and Zoey weren’t friends because of their race, Penny couldn’t believe this reality, but later she gets Zoey’s vet for her bird and tell Zoey about a future (her present) where they are best friends. They later lead a peaceful protest where everyone was together despite their race and Penny recites Martin Luther King’s famous speech. Which brought everyone together. Then she goes home and later realizes she had a weird dream.
We learned about black history with Penny, and to appreciate our lives as Penny does.
I actually enjoyed the first season of Louder and Prouder, my favorite episode where Penny’s voice changes because what kid/teen doesn’t go through that (but it wouldn’t be The Proud Family without them hiring Tone Loc to do Penny’s singing voice) I loved it.
I saw previews for the second season and was a little freaked and now I know why
That wasn’t the only episode surrounding race.
This is incredibly disparaging, disgusting, race, baiting propaganda of the highest order. Goodbye Disney as far as me and my family go. Whatever happened to a unifying message?
at 3:16 you can just HEAR their faces shift from "uh, this is incorrect and dumb... ok ig..." to "DAMN THATS CRAZY"
literally the eyes pop at the same time it's so funny
Im utterly disgusted
The second you said Proud Family a little part of my soul died along with this woke remake.
I love Amalas honest opinions and how she views the world unapologetically never stop❤️
They also forget to add that African-Americans owned slaves as well! TRUE African-American people. Born in Africa and came here! My Haitian friend jumps people's a** constantly about the racism issues that do NOT exist!!! He tells people that he has not faced any racism here, for the exception of black people trying to oppress him!
As a white girl from a small town, this was one of my favorite shows, this and static shock. 😅
Personally I LOVED the Disney show Gargoyles that featured as a main character a kick ass female mixed race detective. That the show never felt the need to ever point out, a character who was well rounded and not perfect who sometimes needed to be rescued but was never a damsel in distress.
An amazingly well written series that dealt with issues like racism, genocide, capitalist greed without ever preaching to its audience. Teaching concepts like forgiveness, redemption, personal growth and maturity. Oh I miss those days.
OMFG THAT SHOW WAS SOOOOOO GOOOOD! And then Jordan Peel wanted to reboot it......
Totally forgot about that show, lol nostalgia blast!
Not to mention the voice of Keith 'mother f'in' David! One of the coolest SOBs in Hollywood.
@Squableduk No. Please, no. Nope was the worst. That mofo owes me $15 for the movie ticket and 3 hours of my life back.
Do you know how many times I have rewatched that series? lol. Omg, mydude Brooklyn........Brooklyn.
I'm a 4th generation Irish man. If you look at history the Irish were slaves first and you don't see us bitching. I think it's all crazy. Your were right I have never owned any slaves and they have never been slaves, I have never met a slave in my life.
God Bless
People seem to turn a blind eye to the fact that black people are not the only oppressed people in the world or even in the US. Slavery happened in almost every culture across all races. Pretty much every group of people from the Irish, the Jews, the Chinese, the Polish and so on were discriminated against when they came to the US, but they worked hard to help build this country and achieve the American dream. You don't see descendants of other groups complaining because that happened in the past. In fact Asian Americans do better than white Americans despite the history of racism against them.
@bookworm598 you are exactly 💯 right. People are only held back by their own will power to secede in life.
I think it’s upsetting that little children are being subjected to this brainwashing. It’s not that they’re being told about all different types of people who were affected by slavery - but are JUST being told about the (what sounds like fictional) Black vs White narrative in this country. We’ve all suffered, we’ve all overcame and we all have to move on and prosper!
Exactly! We don't scream oppression and demand special treatment because of the events of the Potato Famine for example. We just acknowledge that it happened and learn from it. In fact, Irish slaves were less valuable than black ones because they were expendable; there were so many of us imagrating to the US at that time but black slave trade had become illegal. The Germans immigrated here too, but they were able to purchase land because of their backgrounds as doctors and stuff. The Irish were poor and didn't have the money for a place of their own, so that's why they'd overcrowd the alleyways by living in them. It was a very cold, dirty, hungry experience...
Also, a small side note, but as someone who is part Irish herself, I personally find Irish stereotypes to be hilarious. 😂 Whenever I see an old cartoon of a strong-looking, feisty Irish woman with red hair, I instantly go, "All she needs is some sharp white cheddar and alcohol and she's a spitting image of my mother!" We like to poke fun at ourselves instead of crying discrimination.
Irish were not slaves, but I don't agree with what this show is doing.
the only way that episode would be acceptable is if her parents told her to stop being ignorant and schooled the kids on real facts
as a little white girl i remember watching the proud family and thinking absolutely nothing about how the family was black, i literally just thought of them as normal people. never once did it cross my mind that either of us were different from each other. i don’t have any children yet but it’s hard to imagine one day that i would turn on this show for my kids. i don’t want my children to feel like they did something wrong or are evil simply because they were born white.
I feel people forget America was built on religious freedom, not slaves. Yes people brought slaves over but America was built on escaping England and England wanting to expand.
Yes exactly, that’s why seeing content like this be produced is very damaging to watch for young minds and frankly anyone. This IS misinformation and clear brainwashing. Candice Owens pointed out in one of her talks that ALL people’s have gone through something and portraying USA history such as what The Proud Family is currently doing severely promotes a continuation of segregation and racism.
@@elykalontar3847 I totally agree!
It was built on both slavery and the people who escaped the control of the king of England. I'm not for this woke shit but I'm not ignoring certain truths either.
But it was built on the back of slaves. Two truths can be right. Don’t erase history
@@donnahenderson8951 if go back to school and learn, it was built on people escaping the religious jail they had in England, yes there was slaves but slaves started in Portugal and got traded around the world and yes, there was slaves in the americas. It was not built on having freedom of religion.
So no one is gonna talk about how they take out the only Latina character in the show LaCienega…what the shit?!?
She’s in the show it’s Sticky who’s gone

I want to see your take on the episode in which Zoe is asked out by a black actor, and her friends make her feel ashamed because he's attractive, and the only reason he'd want her is that she's white. I'm curious about your perspective.
Juneteenth is not a real holiday
Simply put, I feel bad for this generation of kids...
I loved Proud Family and a kid. It was an amazing and fun show. I knew when they were returning to Disney, I had no interest because I knew it was gonna SUPER WOKE.
Yeah, it's sad. I loved the animated series King of the Hill when I was younger. I heard it's getting a sequel series. I'm not even excited about it because I'm almost certain it's gonna be super duper wokity woke. Hank's probably gonna have to apologize to the non whytes for his alleged "whyte privilege," Bobby will probably be gay or gender fluid or whatever outta nowhere, Peggy's probably going to be re written as the smartest character on the show just because she's female, Dale will probably be used as an excuse to insult President Trump and the MAGA movement, Nancy will probably become a huge advocate for abortion rights, John Redcorn will probably be a supporter of antifa, the show will probably promote having the young students learning CRT in school and so forth. As great as the original series was; I'm almost certain this new series will be the complete opposite of the original one.
I'm a white woman who grew up watching Proud Family as a kid and LOVED it. I loved the hilarious characters and the messages of the show. This new one is yet another ruined childhood memory
When I saw that clip from the proud family a while back, I cried a little bit. I remember watching the proud family because it was funny and didn't really care that they were a different color than me. I still think about how Disney had that commercial playing all the time about the grandmother sleeping and Penny turns the TV off and she says turn that back on I was watching that and then immediately knocks out again. Hilarious! These kids watching this today do not stand a chance and it is heartbreaking.
I vowed never to watch the reboot
It’s actually a sequel it also confirms that the movie wasn’t canon
But aren’t you just a little bit curious?
They cannot create, they can only contort, distort, and destroy… there’s a biblical figure that has the same qualities… can’t remember who it is at this time, but I think it was the bad guy.
💯.
The devil?
the percussive accompaniment gives the vocals a strong last poets feel.
I used to love The Proud Family!
I'm surprised the audience members in the crowd weren't wearing masks.
I liked The Proud Family growing up! Oscar is such a meme. 😂 When I heard about the reboot and looked at some of the changes being made, it made me worried (especially the "louder and prouder" part in the title). I didn't hear much about the show so I assumed it wasn't that bad, but watching these clips for the first time made my mouth drop open. I'm glad I didn't see any of this stuff when I was younger or it probably would've made me sad that the characters in a show I liked hated me for being white.
I grew up watching proud family…. its sad that they had to take a show that I loved and turned it in to this…
I genuinely enjoy watching this show growing up. This reboot had its moments, but this in whole was simply unwatchable. It bothering me just as much that this was labeled under a category 'diversity matters'. Good shows are good shows. It didn't have to present itself as any kind of diversity show of any kind to garner attention.
@@richardwieder2274 yeah I rather watch the old episodes of Proud family. The old one had a black history episode the right way and didn't shoved message down your throat.
ikr.
@@cs16241 that may be true, but I don't think the majority of the fans were expecting a Trojan Horse like this either.
There needs to be a massive boycott of Hollywood and the Mainstream Media now.
Its time the people stood up
I loved The Proud Family growing up. It was a story about an American family who happened to be black. You didn't have to be black to enjoy the show. I remember it had one of the best Halloween specials of the time. and Wizard Kelly had some of the best lines.
I hate that they made this remake to be so bitter. Kids should be learning about this stuff in school and from their parents. Not from their cartoon shows. The cartoons should instead be teaching them about friendship, family, working together, those sorts of things.
Victimisation only perpetuates victimhood.
I was so excited to show my daughters this show when I saw they were continuing it. Had to take it off after 2 minutes
Does your daughter knows she has a snowflake dad who gets extremely triggered after two minutes of a show he doesn’t like?
@@vicom134 ok buddy. Feeling better after that comment? I hope you are
@@jabarinath2452 Sorry, I can’t help it if I find it kinda pathetic to be triggered by a cartoon.
@@vicom134 ok buddy 👍🏼
Raise your kids the way you see best. Some chump on the internet really likes his cartoons, I wager.
As a side note, I just want to say how much I enjoy the light that you bring to current events. You are such and intelligent young woman who is way beyond the curve! As a white woman of 65 years, it does my heart good to see someone of your generation consistently shining intelligent and meaningful content. Thank you so much for all the work you do to present these episodes.
Let’s rewind back to the good old Disney days. When kids can be kids and not social justice warriors.
Pretty much everything said in the cartoon was a lie.
Amala, your absolutely right. its terrible.
This needs to be another Velma situation. This is so cringe
I loved the Proud Family growing up. They did have messages that often were themed around race but it never felt over the top. One of the best episodes is when Penny goes back in time to 1955 only to find out that Black History Month was originally Negro History Week and that the white and black kids didn't hang with one another. Penny realises just how far we had come in the 50 years since then. The best bit was when she calls her friend black and her friend gets offended and then when Penny gets called negro she is offended. It shows how these terms have come in and out of favour over time.
They ruined DuckTales too. Season 3 of the reboot turned into a woke trainwreck.
It hurt my soul to see such timeless characters have to address gay aliens, latinx nonsense, and "history is fluid" bull crap.
I just want racecars, lasers, and aeroplanes. It's supposed to be a duck blur... not Frank Angones' fetish ideologies.
As soon as I saw what they did to Micheal, I knew that this reboot would be woke AF. Sure it was implied that he was gay in the original series, but they were subtle about it. Nothing about this reboot or woke culture in general these days is subtle smh.
There are many reasons why I didn't watch this:
1. Cheaper animation( the animation in the original was good for most episodes)
2. Too many gags(the original didn't need to rely on this)
3. Tries too hard to be funny(the original wasn't this hyper and was more calm I guess)
4. Everybody should be older
5. They retcon some stuff
All that other stuff is just the cherry on top.
Now Proud Family did slightly touch upon racism in 1 episode in the last season (not counting the black history month episode). It really was a normal animated black cartoon about a typical teenager going through what teenagers went through
How dare you Disney.
remember that time when OG Penny traveled back in time and tackled segregation, and the teacher was the grounds keeper? well not traveled back, more like had a dream everything had regressed, now that was some clever stuff
Call Martin Luther King would’ve been racist nowadays he would be Anthony left us
But that’s ok because it’s an acceptable perspective on race relations right? When it’s the same damn thing!!!

It's starting to look like they want to make their children believe they are like a martyr nation. We have that in Poland, it's even taught in schools, that we were the "Christ of Europe".
I don't recommend this attitude. Of course, we Poles had it hard, and we fought battles for other countries and so on, but the attitude this teaching gives us makes us so bitter and demanding. We should acknowledge the past, respect it, learn from it and move on.
I was a bit old for the Proud Family back then, but it seemed wholesome. I'm not shocked current Disney has perverted it.
This is why continues to divide Americans. Why must we constantly push this narrative of “systematic discrimination”, rather than treating Americans as one people.
The proud family I grew up with was awesome. Discussed real topics without resorting to wokeness. Even covered the issue of the dangers of hypersexualisation in a family friendly way. Got right what the god awful cuties movie did wrong
The proud family in the early 2000s was the golden days , until now it's not the same...
I love the OG show from that era. It's really sad that the reboot got destroyed.
Rumor has it they are reviving Kim Possible, I hope it doesn't suck as it was my favorite show growing up but knowing modern day Disney it probably will. Could be wrong, hope I am.
NO PLEASE NO! NOT HER PLEASE! that live action movie was bad enough! And we know what they like to do to Red Heads nowadays!
Why are you so foolish as to believe they won’t completely screw it up? Their most famous guys in the show are already regularly shown up by girls. It’s practically purpose-built to be done incompetently. You need talent Disney doesn’t have any more to keep that dynamic fun and funny rather than cringe.
Knowing that conservatives have become ultra-sensitive whiny b*tches, you will probably find something to be triggered about in the reboot nonetheless.
Plus rumors of a remake of gargoyles is making me nervous too
@Brianna Jenell kim will be a *black* lesbian and ron will be trans
I'm sixty-nine years old. Walt Disney must be...well you know...rolling in his grave.
Heheheh 69
Disney is supposed to be a fun escape from reality with wholesome lessons.
I remember proud family. Never realized they were black, at the time when I was like 4 I didn't even know what race was.
I used to watch Proud Family… what have they done to my childhood man 😢
The money for reparations would come from tax dollars. That means they would be paying for at least a part of their own reparation.
Unless they want there to be a reparation tax just for white people. I'd like to see how that would work lol, by the left's logic everyone could just "identify" as being black and not have to pay it
I actually loved proud family. It was very iconic and now it's being burned down.
I know what you mean
Ironic how Proud Family had an episode about how segregation would have destroyed Penny and Zoey's friendship, but now they promote the racial animosity that causes it.
I can't wait to show this to my Native American fiance.
I'm too old to know this show but good god! This doesn't seem like children's programming 😕
This is a college students animation thesis... Not an episode for 9 year olds.
Children's re-programming.
They’re basically proved their ignorance. Folks need to cancel Disney.
Reparations were paid with 620,000 dead soldiers. Most of what the slaves had built was burned to the ground by General Sherman.
I grew up on many shows (though "The Proud Family" wasn't one of them), my favourites being "Winx Club" and "W.I.T.CH." and I think they handled representation very well: the main cast included POC characters who were treated just as fairly by the creators of the shows like the white characters. They had their own personality, their own story; their race was unimportant, because there was so much more to them than that. Other shows, like "Monster High", "Jake Long: American Dragon", "Juniper Lee", "Yakari", "Totally Spies", "Samurai Jack", "Teen Titans", "Justice League Unlimited", "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", "Recess" were the same, and in some cases, they brought in certain non-American and non-European cultural elements in an interesting and fun way.
They want to blame my ancestors (Which btw as a white man my family didn't come here until the 1940s) what about their ancestors? Americans didn't go into Africa hunting down black people to be slaves. They were bought. By the black people there that did the hunting. The white man may have bought black slaves. But the black man sold them. Where is that outrage? Also Proud family, Osmosis Jones, Static Shock and Fresh Prince were staples for me growing up. Loved all of them. At the time didn't give a flying fuck about the color of any of them. Fresh prince is still one of my favorites. And Ive only ever cried when 2 Celebrities died. Uncle Phil and Robin Williams.
maaaaaaaaan Static still holds up to this day! Dwayne McDuffy was a genius writer! may he RIP!
@@randombsgo4367 Static Shock and X men were my favorite super hero shows back in the day.
@@eondrache7786 that reboot gonna ruin the X-men!
The majority of slaves working on plantations had to literally give their all, every single day. If they didn't, someone, somewhere was losing money and as we all know, money is power and when that power corrupts... humanity gets twisted.
However, I'd really like to know how a black someone in today's world can feel that same oppression? They can become the boss of corporations, command all walks of life, make limitless amounts of money in a capitalist economy... but, some still want reparations? 🤔🤯
People no matter the skin color will look for the easy way out. And this one is being gift wrapped and proposed daily.
This is why now people who write are going to have to keep their stories private cause everyone thinks they can change things
its so much easier to hate than it is too love and as humans nowadays people tend to take the road most traveled
