Well, I kinda have to think that they were telling the truth when they said that they didn't originally have a story for it. Practically all of the classic Disney movies are made from stories that already existed. They're having to adapt one themselves just to be politically correct. But with shows like "The Proud Family" and rising young singer/actresses like Raven Symone, it's hard to say that Disney excludes African Americans.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
