Halle Bailey as Ariel: My Opinion On It
SpiderManFan2002
Halle Bailey as Ariel. I'm not going to lie when I saw the casting choice for Ariel my initial thoughts was:
"Aww, I wanted it to be Zendaya."
Zendaya Fanart As Ariel <3
I wanted it to be Zendaya because I heard a lot of people saying she doesn't have "the right personality" to be Ariel. She's an actress, she can act like she has a different personality on screen, and Zendaya is an awesome singer, she did great (no pun intended) "In The Greatest Showman" I thought Zendaya would have really suited Ariel.
But then, Disney is Disney for a reason, so Halle can't exactly be a bad actress if they cast her. And plus though I was a little disappointed they didn't give Zendaya the role, as I thought about it, Zendaya does already have her fame, she was in Disney, she's in the new Spider-Man movies, she was in "The Greatest Showman" and now she's in a new HBO Drama series "Euphoria."
I don't think many of us heard of Halle Bailey, she hasn't even been in many things, the only thing I have heard of which she's been in is "Grown-ish" but I haven't got around to watching that yet. I've seen clips of "Grown-ish" and honestly her acting in those clips is good, and I've heard her sing and again, she's pretty good.
What's The Problem Then?
Halle is a black girl. In the cartoon, Ariel was a white girl. Is that really a problem? I don't think so. Ariel is a fictional character, and the last time I checked mermaids don't have a specific race.
Honestly, just think about who this movie is for, yes, we may watch it as fans but it's really for the kids. Little kids are going to watch it, they're not going to care about the colour of Ariel, they're just going to want to watch a movie with singing and a happy ending.
And before you go on saying how the original Little Mermaid was set in Denmark, yes that is correct, the original Little Mermaid was set in Denmark. The remake, however, is going to be set in the sea surrounding a fictional kingdom. This fictional kingdom could be anywhere, it doesn't specifically have to be Denmark. So Ariel can be any race.
In Aladdin, Naomi Scott, the actress who played "Jasmine" wasn't an Arab. She was mixed race, half white, half Indian. She slayed the role of Jasmine, she played the role perfectly, even though there were many doubters, who doubted her acting ability.
I've also heard people say Zendaya should have got the role of Ariel because she's a lighter-skinned black woman.
Why is it we are looking at the skin colour of these women?
I'm certain Zendaya is one hell of an actress. Each role I've seen her play she's made it believable, to me. I think I will love her as MJ in Spider-Man because she's so much more realistic than MJ in the Spider-Man trilogy was. Which high school student do you see that is like MJ in the trilogy? And plus 'the dead on the inside' vibe Zendaya's MJ gives off, again I love it, and she makes it believable. How do I know? Because I've felt that way at school too, and so have my friends. ;P
We're going off on a bit of a roundabout here so let's swerve back to the point (that made no sense, I know).
I can't really say much about Halle's acting. What I've seen of her singing and acting is good but I don't think I've seen enough to call her a 'good actress'. But I can surely count on Disney. They made the right choice for Jasmine, Aladdin, and the Genie, I'm sure they've made the right choice for Ariel.
What I want to judge Halle and Zendaya and any other actor or actress on is their ability to act. Not their skin colour. Not once did I think Zendaya should get the role because she has light skin, I thought she should have got the role because she's a good actress. And I'm not going to completely diss this actress because she's a dark-skinned black girl.
I'd understand people's problem if Ariel actually existed because then it boils down to historical accuracy as well as their ability to act. But Ariel was a fictional character, she was written up by somebody, so she could be anybody of any race.
And if you really hate the fact that a black girl gets the oppurtunity to be Ariel so much, the original Ariel isn't going anywhere so you can watch that instead of the remake.
And just because she's black it doesn't mean you still can't identify with Ariel as a character. Another pathetic excuse I've heard people make. I'm not white but I was still able to identify with Ariel when I was younger, because she was curious about the outside world, and so was I. Now, I've become more of an introvert who likes staying indoors, but the point is Ariel being white didn't stop childhood me being able to think I am like Ariel, not once in the bathtub did childhood me think:
"Oh, Ariel's white, I'm brown, so I can't pretend to be the little mermaid because I'm not white!"
I didn't care! I pretended I had fins because I didn't see Ariel as a white girl, I saw her as Ariel the Little Mermaid. Or just Ariel.
And Ariel being black won't stop any children from doing the same things, the most important demographic isn't us, it's the kids.
Now I come to think of it like that, as long as it's appropriate for the kids, I'm cool with it.
Halle As Ariel For The Win! <3

I agree it's nonsense.. But I doubt It's gon make the movie stop makin money.. I mean these are only a few internet racist, and purist who voice they opposition to this.. Although.. I would most definitely say that Halle Bailey ain't dark skinned.. 😂.. She's barely one or two shades darker than Zendaya.. Zendaya just has the long curly hair, and the I guess Euro lookin features..
Also I think the Disney rendition of was set in the Carribean.. Which would fit her perfectly..
awesometjgreen
I agree it's a fucking movie, who cares? If you don't like it don't watch it. I bet the kids are gonna love it though
@awesometjgreen Exactly.. they trippin.. Besides the Disney adaptation of the Little Mermaid took place somewhere in the Carribean, so it would be fitting to have a "Black" woman as Ariel.. But you are right..
AkshiJanjua
its just a cartoon

So maybe next time a black girl can play Mulan, right? Yeah... right... we all know that would be racist.

I'm a white female and literally can not believe that white females are making a big deal outta this. It's annpying. This is the way someone sees it in their head. She is a fictional character.
It's art and art has no race specifications.
yourfavperson
people bend over backwards into a pretzel to try and justify why she has to be white. when she actually doesn't have to be and people love to forget the very black mermaid in the tv series

morimeme1
And yet, Ariel was a redhead so why would people feel the need to make her black all of a sudden, the reverse situation would outrage the black community.
cherryqueen01
@morimeme1 Black people can have red hair by dying it. Most likely if a white actress had gotten the role she would've dyed her hair for it too. Big deal
@morimeme1 *pretzel*
So it will be very unnatural if they actually make a ginger Ariel and I would have prefered they cast a real redhead. Not a colored one.
coloured? what in the jim crow?
r u alright there? take a nap will u
I meant colored hair but I guess you see what you want to see.

I am coming to the conclusion of "Fuck Disney". I grow weary of their PC agenda. Would they remake the Lion King with a white lead... we all know that is a no and a shit storm would follow if it was a yes along with a retraction and apology. This role was iconic for little redhead girls.
It will flop of course.
Did they remake Aladdin with an Arabian girl? No. Was Will Smith Arabian? No. He still got to be genie. But the movie was still brilliant. Did that create a shitstorm? Nope, only Will Smith memes. Did they have to apologise for casting a half white half Indian girl for Jasmine? Nope!
I'm not a redhead and the role was still iconic for me. Kids don't see race, they just see a Disney princess.
And Aladdin was expected to flop, but it didn't, so I wouldn't speak too soon.
You seem very focused on a black girl playing a white girl role... you want it because of the race, you don't care what the story was or where it came from. Jasmine isn't white, so no idea what you are going on about. Aladdin would have made more I am sure with someone else, no matter the race, than Wil Smith who also played a white role of Deadeye in another movie that should have done better, Suicide Squad. He also played another role originally white, The Omegaman which was retitled I Am Legend.
You would be writing a different MyTake if it was a white remake of Lion King.
No I wouldn't be. I don't care who they cast for TLK as long as they can sing and act, I don't give one.
And yes, in the Aladdin remake the actress, Naomi Scott, is half white, half Indian. Even though Jasmine in the cartoon was a dark-skinned Arabian girl. But Naomi Scott was amazing as Jasmine in the remake she could act and sing just perfectly! So I don't care if a half white half Indian light skinned girl played Jasmine, all that matters to me was she did a good job of it and she did one hell of a good job.
I don't believe that is your true feelings. So just stop 🛑.
Believe what you want, but that's how it is.
Naomi Scott as Jasmine? Perfect casting choice!
I loved the original lion king too. Set in Africa. That had a majority white cast. Did I care? Nope! Because it's fiction and everyone could act and sing! The original lion king is amazing and iconic no matter what the colour of the actors was!☺💜
Deadshot or the I am Legend roles were not "White" roles.. 😂.. They are roles that happen to have "White" people but could have been anybody..
@JDavid25 I see you are representing for your faction, David. I worded it the way I did on purpose Sherlock. Anyway, there have been similar roles that blacks have played and then an outcry when a white person would play it later.
We are tired of the double standards and hypocrisy.
Yesplease23
Lol naomi scott is not light skin many arab girls look way more lighter than her they are arab not bangladeshi.
@Yesplease23 Compared to Jasmine in the cartoon she was a light-skinned girl:
But nobody complained there, wanna know why? Because Naomi is a good actress! She was amazing as Jasmine, it doesn't matter if her skin wasn't as dark as Jasmine in the cartoon, it doesn't matter if Naomi wasn't Arabian because she did a good job.
And if Halle Bailey does a good job as Ariel, I don't see why we shouldn't view her any differently.
Only a few shade but this new Ariel lol
Because Naomi scott resemble her to a good degree that black girl don't mark my word that movie is flop.
I also see you are representin yo faction.. LOL.. "Black" people actually have a reason to do it.. Because there are not many good roles (It's slowly changin) out there for them Especially "Black".. "White" people are just bein crybabies honestly.. They just want a character to stay "White", or not be "Black".. There's no reason they should be outraged over an okay Disney animated movie.. Half of y'all probably never even watched it..
AuroraRoseat
Again I agree. What I find funny though Is that people are touting Disney as Feminist when it literally has sexist traditional gender roles/behaviors and emasculating visions against men all over. It is garbage for such a reason but it isn't Feminist.
hellionthesagereborn
Here is my issue, you say that its not a big deal, okay. When does it become a big deal? See they replaced ariel with a black woman, Mary Jane Watson (redhead, Scottish) with a black girl, they replaced Hiemdal (a white NORSE (WHITE) god) with a black man, they replaced Achiellies (fair skin, greek) with a black man, they are trying to push for James bond to be black as well, they replaced Nick Fury (white man) with a black actor, in force awakens they killed off the only white male actor left and replaced the entire cast with women and minority actors, Halley Berry as cat woman, Johnny storm (originally white) was replaced by a black actor, Money penny (british character i. e. white) has been replaced with a black actress, etc. etc. etc.
Clearly this is something being pushed, that is blatantly obvious and that I do have issue with. As in the western world "minorities" are so named because they are "minorities"(in the western world, they are in fact the majority in the actual world population and whites are the minority). That means the probability of having this many white characters being systematically replaced with minority characters is highly improbable if its based off of talent alone. So that is an issue.
The second issue is the HYPOCRISY. We here consistently that its racist for whites to play a character that was originally non white. We here how its racist if whites play a character that is white but knows marital arts (like with the character Danny Rahnd in the Iron Fist Netflix show which the actor had to shut off his twitter because he was getting so much racist hate for being in the show). We here how game of thrones was racist because it didn't have enough minority characters, never mind that it was taking place in a fantasy version of mideviel Europe which had no minorities. Same goes with historical pieces where it does not make sense to have minorities as they take place in nations that where at the time 100% white, yet its still racist. That's what I have issue with. The actors are irrelevant to me, its the intent that I have issue with.
dalibara
I think Madeleine petsh would have been the best choice. I mean.. Ariel is a Caucasian redhead!! I didn't want a black Ariel just like I won't be happy if tiana and jasmine were interpreted by white women.
Any white women who can sing and act is great you can always dye your hair
Also her eyes are brown Ariel have blue
Actually I was thinking that because I saw this video: https://youtu.be/UwK_eaL7x-c
and just like Ariel she is kind of famous for her beautiful hair color so it would have been perfect.
InTimoreDei
YES. Petsh is a much better choice for this.
JohnPrestwick
Captain Marvel and Black Panther showed that online trolls don't sway the box office.
And Halle Berry is a talented actress. She would probably be bigger now had it not been for some unlucky casting choices in the 2000s.
Whether the film will be good or not, I don't know. But I can approach it with an open mind.
She's an excellent singer too!
This movie could be her big break :)

She'll always be a cute white red head to me. Let Disney black wash everything.
Disney: Has 3 black Disney princesses
People: Disney are blackwashing everything!!
Yup. They did. 3 ORIGINAL black princesses
The Little Mermaid is just the beginning. Get used to seeing predominantly white roles given to people who aren't white. Hollywood isn't what it was in the past century. It's not predominantly white. It's very diverse and so is its audience.
What you're witnessing is a slow translation into a new era. And pretty soon it will be a landslide. I am so glad they're choosing movies that are more likely to be seen by children versus adults.
Notice that adults are already stuck in their narrow minded thinking. The fact is some people want her to be white because they don't want her to be black. Take a 4-5 year old to see this movie and see how they react without your influence.
They won't care. They'll smile and laugh and enjoy the movie. Ask yourself why you can't be that happy and bliss. Anyone above 18 whining about a fairytale creature being black needs to get a life.
Those kids will grow up to be more tolerant and accepting towards people who don't look like them. White roles won't cease to exist. But I do believe roles will be a lot more diverse, creating a more diverse generation. The media is the greatest tool of influence and as rare as it is, it's being used for good.
FatCat2020
Well you fail to understand the whole reason for this. It is to make white people and black people fight no other reason. Disney are not saints they don't care about tolerance Walt Disney funded the Nazis! There is no way the people running this company today are truthworthy in the least.
Walt Disney is dead. White people and black people have been fighting for decades. The only difference between now and yesterday is more white people are fighting for progression. See it the way you want. But mark my words. This is just the beginning
Oh you are right this is just the beginning of unrealistic diversity being shoved down our throats. I don't need to be preached to to accept black people I have always accepted them. There is no reason for entertainment to always have to be changed just to push agendas. Do you truly think Disney gives a fuck about anyone or anything but getting richer? Why would they?
I'm sorry the Little Mermaid is being casted by a black woman. I hope you heal from this tragedy
I really don't give a fuck. But if it is one of my favorite shows or movies and they change a man to a woman or the race of a character or a straight character gay just to do it then I will be pissed. Not because of racism or anything like that because fans enjoy something and do not want that thing changed.
If only people were this passionate about world peace or finding a cure to cancer

My opinion is that white actors should play white characters. It's disrespectful to Danish culture. The Little Mermaid is a beloved European fairytale written by a Danish man. He wrote the character to be white. Blue eyes and red hair.
Someone like Emma Stone, a natural red haired woman should play the part. So no I don't support it! I won't watch the movie. Stop black washing white characters.
Ariel is white!
Nikki69938
Emma Stone isn't a natural red head. And no one is black washing white characters. It's a story about two different species and them falling in love. It's not really about their skin color
@Nikki69938 Then they should find a natural red haired woman. It is about race because Ariel is a white Mermaid. She's not black. She has red hair and blue eyes.
And black people can have red hair and blue eyes as well. Tell me would you be mad if you found out they casted a brown haired and green eyed girl as Ariel? Just as long as she's white cause that seems that's all that matters
@Nikki69938 do black people have pale skin like Ariel?
There are some black people that are light enough that they look white yes. And you still didn't answer my question.
@Nikki69938 The answer to your question is yes I would. Only a natural red haired European woman should play Ariel. Also, you're wrong, black people don't look European.
Aren't their black Europeans? Didn't know being European meant just white people. And I'm pretty sure in the movie she's sounds pretty American to me. So I'm surprised you watched that one since she's not European
@Nikki69938 Ariel is a white European so only a white European actor should play her.
Ariel is a mermaid so only a real mermaid should play her
@Nikki69938 If you've read the story. Ariel is described as having pale skin, red hair and blue eyes written by a Danish man which is clearly white European culture. It's fictional but it's a white fictional character and only an actor that fits the role should play her.
@Nikki69938 And Ariel is most definitely not black with dreadlocks.
Maybe your Ariel isn't but today's Ariel will be black with dreadlocks. And she obviously fits the role cause if she didn't she wouldn't have been casted. Her skin color was obviously a non issue
@Nikki69938 It's not my Ariel. It is the THE Ariel written by Danish author and she is pale skin, red hair and blue eyes 😍
@Nikki69938 The directors made a poor choice because she obviously doesn't fit the role. Her race should matter. Ariel is not from Africa and not part to African culture.
The Ariel written by someone over a hundred years ago. Times change. And you have no idea if the director made a poor choice. If she can't act then yeah they did but that's all that matters. The movie wasn't portrayed completely off the book but since she's still pale skin, blue eyes with red hair that's all that matters to some people I guess
@Nikki69938 So? It's his work. It's disrespectful to use his story and change it however you want. It's not really the story of the Little Mermaid anymore.
Call it by a different name. The story for be black Mermaid sounds more appropriate.
@Nikki69938 Maybe we should call her Sharquisha the black mermaid. 👍
Wow your racist is really coming out. And that shit happens all the time to many different people of different skin colors. But they bought it and can change it how they want.
Sharquisha really? That's so so so low of you. I guess you have nothing better to say now
Just move on. No one is going to be sad you won't see the movie. Especially Halle the new BLACK mermaid👋🏾
@Nikki69938 I actually know a black woman named Sharquisha. I'd actually watch the story of the black mermaid.
@Nikki69938 Yep! Disney should make the story of the black mermaid casting Halle Bailey. And leave Ariel to a European white woman. 👍
Thanks for letting me know you have a black friend😁. You just won't watch this story of this black mermaid. Makes sense
@Nikki69938 she's not my friend. I said I know someone with that name. 👍
If Disney wanted to do that they would have
@Nikki69938 I agree they should.
Oh thanks for letting me know that you don't have a black friend but an acquaintance👍
@Nikki69938 No problem 👍
And I just can't wait to see Halle as Ariel in The little mermaid👍
@Nikki69938 Ariel is white.
Not anymore 😄
@Nikki69938 it's not the story of the Little Mermaid. It's the story of black mermaid and she's not Ariel 🙌🏼
Yeah it's the story of The little mermaid. And she is. Just because you don't want it to be true doesn't make it any less then. Ariel is black in this version🙌🏿
@Nikki69938 And I don't care what Disney thinks. Ariel is white. 👍😁😍
And Disney obviously doesn't care what you think either😁
So I think it's mutual lol
And Ariel is black in the next movie so...
@Nikki69938 They should. I'm not the only one. Many people don't like it and viewers opinions matter. 👍🙌🏼😄
@Nikki69938 Nope! Ariel will never be black. Ariel is white, pale skin, blue eyes and red hair.
You're not the only viewer honey. They're are billions of people in this world and I'm sure the ones that don't like it just cause she's not white will not make it do horrible in the box office
If you keep saying that enough maybe it'll be true again😂😂
But it's not right now lmao
Kurαȷ
The only thing I have to say is that, not long ago, media were up in arms about Jasmine being the "wrong kind of brown" because she was a half-white Indian and not an Arab and about the fact that Disney was "tanning" actors who were too light skinned.
But now, the same media outlets are calling people racist for pointing out a much worse transgression.
And everyone is ok with it, in their painful ignorance of how it actually patronizes people of color.
But I guess I don't care, if Halle wants her race to be taken advantage of by Disney as an accessory to sell tickets and stir up controversy, it's her choice.
Naomi scott look like jasmine and she is definitely not light for a Arab
These things don't sell tickets so many social justice movie have been flop
@Yesplease23 What are you talking about? Aladdin was a top-grossing movie. Will Smith's 2nd highest grossing movie. Will Smith.
ChocolateBrowny
wow what a way to ruin a fictional character. Ariel will forever be a redhaired fair skinned mermaid to me. I won't be watching the remake out of respect for red haired girls.
AynonOMouse
Yep, everyone that down votes that opinion is just another obvious racist.
@AynonOMouse those that dislike want her personality but the writer designed Ariel in a constructive way. Started with green flippers, red contrasts well with that so he gave her red hair. Naturally red haired girls have fair skin and underwater they'd be seen more easily as it's dark down there). I can accept Disney were really quite pro white before the millennium. Why can't they make a new cartoon that a black girl will identify with. 😑
Funny how all the downvotes are girls. Many of the girls on this website have insane ideas and opinions.
@InTimoreDei you know that video of a man lecturing guys on crazy hot and unicorns 😂😂
The reason why the majority of Disney's earlier characters were White was because they just stole/copied stories that were written by Europeans a long time ago. hen I was a kid I didn't even know that many of Disney's movies weren't even written by Disney. If you look it up, many of them are written by German, and other European writers.
There is a fairy tale series called "The Land of Stories" and it actually shows who wrote those stories/gives credit to the real creators.
@AynonOMouse cheers, i kind of knew where they came from but you were a little more informative.
SentientBrick
What if we took a traditionally black Disney charachter and made the red headed and blue eyed. Would that be ok too. After all their just a fictional character! The ham golem SJW"s Wouldent be draw & quartering Disney animators in the streets for doing something like that would they?
Not wit red hair, rather a white girl with an African American Afro. Offensive much? That is really what they are doing just reversed.
They will just call you racist because black characters were a minority of practically non-existant in old Disney movies. As if that makes it any different.
logicislit85
Coming from a black person its just diversity. How many characters have been played by white who are "classy" and then the black characters are played as sassy and ghetto. I glad she's playing this and not some other white person
@logislit85 But the argument here was completely different. Anyways, I am all for diversity I just don't get why it has to be by forcibly making familiar characters black, why not make new ones like Tiana, her story was original and empowering unlike that of Ariel's.
@morimeme1 It actually does make a difference.. There's very few traditional "Black" Disney characters.. You got quite a few "White" Princesses.. All of this is just whinin honestly..
Hypnos0929
So you mean tiana and only Tiana?
Either way I don't care but you people clearly do. I'm not gonna spend money to see a few small changes made to an already butchered book.
shephardjhon
not black but they DID make Jake Gyllanhall play a Prince of Persia at a time when the Iraq war was fresh in people memory and the US NEEDED good Arab/Persian characters.
@shephardjhon There's plenty more than Jake where that came from... Lol..
@JDavid25 fine but does he even LOOK like the character from the game?
@shephardjhon I was agreein witchu.. They should have gotten a Persian/Iranian actor.. I was just sayin that there's plenty more instances like Jake's where that came from.
Yeah that is true there's really only one
Princess and not a lot of color
@JDavid25 you really need to phrase your statements properly, then.
Anyone else appreciate the fact the MHO's all have higher dislikes to likes and they all agree with the question asker...
Yes, it was all just a lame attempt to have people accept a blatantly offensive, outrageous, ridiculous move by Disney... a black girl with bright straight red hair 👩🦰 playing a Scandinavian character that was a story told long before Disney.
The most egregious part is that this could only be done to a white character, certainly not a black girl playing Mulan or a white boy playing in Lion King.
@Jersey2 Amen
@shephardjhon I'm pretty sure you just didn't getthe context of my statement since it was pretty clear.. 😉..
@Jersey2 The Little Mermaid the movie is not too much like the original tale.. We don't really know where it takes place.. It most likely could have been somewhere in the Mediterranean or Caribbean sea.. Also there's plenty of "White" characters... And the Lion King are animals... 😂..
@JDavid25 The consistency between the old novel and Disneys interpretation of the "little mermaid" is irrelevant to the conversation at hand. The setting of the movie is like wise means nothing to the core of the conversation. Whats being debated is Disney's and other companies need, to change the skin color of iconic charachters just to meet a diversity quota. If it is such a issue for them that there are not enough non-white princesses why not make new interesting story's with more ethnically diverse princesses. Instead of shoe horning old charachters into a "woke" charachter mold.
I know I'd pay money for it and I'm more than sure there would be much less bickering.
@JDavid25 You know for a fact that blacks would go ape shit if this were reversed. You rationalize it but this nonsense has been rationalized infinitum for the benefit of blacks on every scale... we just aren't buying it anymore.
Well you don't know that they did it for the sake of diversity.. Maybe thethey want diversity but y'all. make it sound like that's the only reason.. Maybe Halle was the best person for the job.. Maybe they just wanted to change it up, and make it more modern.. You can't just blame "They wants duh diversity in muh "White" movie" on every non "White" castin you don't like..
@Jersey2 You can rationalize it because there's not equal footing on this issue.. There's still plenty of beloved "White" characters.. Still plenty of Princesses.. There's only one "Black" Princess.. And nobody is Particularly head over heels over her.. You act like "Black" people made this castin choice.. It's most likely "White" castin directors.. Blame them if you want..
@JDavid25 stop the shit, you know why they did it. No one buys liberal leftist bullshit anymore... does that make you concerned? No one believes people like you, the bullshit media or companies like Disney... politics will eventually take its toll on Disney just like the undisputed leader in news, CNN, has lost that lead permanently and is way back in the ratings... it takes a while but it happens and then there is no fix for it.
@Jersey2 IDC about all that.. LOL.. All, I know is that I'm tired of all this leftist and PC talk just cause they happen to racebend a character..
@JDavid25 the leftist and PC talk that you don't like is the new norm. Get used to it.
@Jersey2 Well, yeah I know that.. I can live with that.. Lol..
devilman666
Jasmine should have been full white. If you guys black wash then why can't we white wash?
You are dumb af by the way, you make a point about how the children won't care about the skin color... so why change it at all then? Just get some white actress if it makes no difference. Oh wait, this is just a political move to draw in larger audiences of African americans. "Why is it we are looking at the skin color of these women?", Well, we are looking at their skin color because that is one of the things that was changed. It's like if they changed her hair color to purple or green when it used to be red, everyone would point it out because it is so different.
I'll let the comment about the genie slide, but tbh I think that entire remake was a mistake. The genie was based off of robin williams, and few people can do the genie the way he did. So they just blackfaced it to make it seem cool.
I wonder when they'll remake song of the south, they wouldn't even need to do blackface since it already has Uncle Remus.
Liam_Hayden
Disney's cartoon "The Little Mermaid" is so different from Hans Christian Andersen's original story as to be its own entity, so I am fine with what they do with it.
Cool :)

Yeah, the whole, Mermaid lacks a soul and turns into seafoam but she can get an afterlife/soul if a spirit she also turns into does like 300 years of good deeds is really fucking dark and way way different
Honestly I sm pretty interested to see this new version of Ariel and I think the actress does look very suited for a mermaid role but just those few things don't sit well with me: we all know the ginger ariel - black ginger is just wrong so they'll probably leave her hair black, and saying it is based in a fictinal place still does not do justice to the original, it was set in a European country in about mid 1800's so a black person there would not only be weird but nost likely be a slave or something - makes the Disney twisted version of the tale where the prince does marry her even nore unrealistic plus that shows that her race actually does have impact on the plot if you want it to be realistic (you might as well take a white Mulan and base her around Asian history just not call the place China but an imaginary place- problem solved right? No impact on the plot), and lastly, why do they have to push thet representation of black people on already established characters? Tiana was amazing and was her own story (and well, way more empowering that Ariel's). They deserve something new that would be their own.
You mentioned about people using the bs argument that they won't be able to relate to the character because of their skin but I have mostly heard black people use it.
Sevenpointfive
why does hollywood have to ruin every movie by making white people black? can't they make a movie about Calvin Ellis instead? at least he was black.
she does kind of look like the mermaids in harry potter in my opinion
SMH..
@JDavid25 striking resemblance huh?
Not really.. 😂😂
@JDavid25 but hey it made you laugh =)
MackToday
Damn, there is a resemblance there.
Lord_Thy_Gawd
It's about consistency. Take a look at this picture, on is not like the the others:
Yes, I hear you when you say that this remake is set somewhere else, but again, consistency. The Jungle Book didn't have its Indian setting ditched for an African one, so why should The Little Mermaid's?
Dinklex3
They made a Cinderella movie with Brandy.
My favourite movie as a kid.
Just sayin.'
alohaahyes
I don't care about the race change because I've never watched the little mermaid and i dont plan on watching the original or the new one. It's just a fictional story. Ariel's race has no significance to the story but i understand why people would feel a type of way about it. I would be pissed if they made a new princess and the frog and tiana wasn't black. As long as Halle can play the character right i dont have a problem with it.
Also I don't understand why black people feel the need to change the color of white characters. Why can't they just make their own? White people don't need to include us (yes I'm black) in every single book, movie, show, etc they make. Black people make shows and movies with black characters only and they don't see a problem with it but they (some black ppl) see a problem with white people having white characters only in their movies and shows. If you want more black, Chinese, etc characters then make your own, don't change the original. Stop depending on white people to give you more representation. And don't complain about something if you're not going to do anything about.
joyjoy123
I'm just sad because I wanted to see the lush red hair. If they can make it sure why not. As long as it's not that atrocity that Starfire was in Titans.
I mean it's not a do or die to have red haired Ariel but it's such an iconic feature and nostalgic trigger from childhood that having such drastic color change is a bit unsettling?
I'm more mad about Mulan tbh lol
Klara-Hitler
Meh. I don't care really. I'm not going to watch it anyway.
But I'd just say, would black people let white people use blonde girls for mythological characters of black tribes? Or for fictional characters that were described having dark skin?
That happened to Nordic Gods in the movie "Thor".
If yes, then it's okay. If no, then I understand why some white people don't want fictional characters that were first made by them and in their image to be played by black characters.
You don't get to keep your culture intact and call everyone out for "cultural appropriation" and then appropriate everyone else's culture.
It is because the majority of Black people are VERY racist against Whites. If the exact same thing happens but favors Whites instead of them they call it racism, but think it is perfectly fine if they do it. Total hypocrisy.
"White" people ain't interested in "Black" mythological characters.. And this movie most likely had a "White" cast in director.. So yeah..
She's a mermaid and mermaids are fictional characters so she can be any color they want her to be. She can be blue. She's not a human character from specific countries. No one exactly knows what skin color mermaids from Denmark have.
Said it all in one ;)
Just a summary
Justacatlady
I'm super excited they made Ariel black. I love that little girls of color now get another mermaid to love and want to be. The first Disney animated movie wasn't even like the original story so the fact that the live action isn't going to be the same is fine by me.
WarmSunflower
I personally don't agree with it. I watched Ariel on TV. She's a pale skinned, ginger girl. I think a white actress should play the role of Ariel.
error___
many people would throw a fit over tiana being played as a white woman... but let it slide when ariel is played as a black woman... the hypocrisy smh
I was exactly thinking the same thing. For me, Ariel is a blue eyed redhead Caucasian. I don't want a black Ariel, just like I don't want a white tiana or jasmine. Not really important tho, but you always get comments of peoples who complain about some animated characters because their skin become lighter and bleached. Double standards..
The point is it ie becoming pretty common to replace White characters over and over. Hollywood is very liberal and hates Whites. that is the point.
Now go and get Black Panther and Nick Fury replaced with White people and see how much complaining happens.
I've liked a lot of your opinions in the past on different things, but I think you are wrong on this one. It is very much about the media constantly trying to replace White characters.
If they want a good Black character, there is no problem with that. Write them themselves, don't go changing something that is already established. When they replace something that is established, it is pure racism, just like how it was pure sexism when they replaced the Ghost Busters with all women.
like x1000!
It's most common to see a "White" character.. 😂😂.. "White" characters ain't losin out on any roles.. And people still trip even when there is an original "Black" character..
@JDavid25 you obviously don't know hollywood too well.
@Sevenpointfive That really don't tell me anything important except that you are givin me somethin vague.. I know Hollywood well enough.. Most of the stuff you still see has "White" people front and center..
@JDavid25 would you eradicate the white man from movies? there are many black movie productions that don't have white people front and center. the white people aren't crying about it. i'm not going to cry about it. i'm going to watch a good movie whether there is a black or white person in it no matter what if i like the storyline. i just watched intruder with dennis quaid. was he the lead in that movie?
@Sevenpointfive See why always gotta go extreme wit it? 😂.. Nobody said all that.. And most "White" people don't watch "Black" movies most times.. Also we've been watchin movies with "White" people front and center for years.. And still do and don't say anything.. So yeah.. Bad counter.. That's not what this was about.. 😊👉..
@JDavid25 there's an agenda JD. you see it happening.
rylielovessoftball
I have no problem with an African-American girl voicing Ariel in the Little Mermaid. My mom grew up watching The Little Mermaid in the 1990's. I've watched the original and can't wait to watch this version.
One thing I love Hollywood for, is how it keeps triggering all these fragile "anti-SJW" snowflakes. The irony of them whining all over the internet and throwing a tantrum because of something like this, is just amazing. :)
Yeah i will not be watching the movie.
Im not racist at all, i have many black friends and id think theyd agree this is BS., and a disgrace to ariel. Just dumb
Hidden_P
The Princess and the Frog. One of Disneys first black animated characters.
I think she should be white.
*watches the shit show of how it's racist she's not black and how it's offensive.*
Same thing, no?
Lolololol what? Ever seens song of the south? Disney had black characters since the 60s
@devilman666 congratulations! You missed the point.
White people always have to accept when a race is changed but, the Princess and the frog which is a black princess, imagine the backlash if she was made white.
I thought I made that point fairly clear but lolololol apparently nototototototot
I was replying to the disneys first black animated characters part, but to be fair you did say one of, and disney really hasn't had many. You do make a good point, I mostly just find it funny how everyone forgets that disney did have black characters at one time, even if disney wants you to forget that those characters ever existed.
Nobody is saying don't make diverse characters hell they could have just made a black mermaid character different than Ariel and made a different movie but people are mad because they are messing with who the character is. That would be like making Blade from Marvel a white guy with freckles. It would be ridiculous.
LuvAsh
I don't care for the change BUT I think this is a great way to make white people feel how Black people feel when White people play what should be a black role😊😊 Ecspecially in REAL LIFE historical events movies👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 even tho I don't really care for the movie, I will still support.
Captain America is going to be black now. Spider-Man was black in the recent animated movie. Hamilton the play is black... I would say that it is now very commonplace to have roles reassigned as black.
@Jersey2 They are just trying to replace Whites. If they want Black characters it's fine, but they should write their own stuff then, not steal what a White person made and replace them.
dropkicknj13
Ignoring the other replies, when have white people ever taken black roles? Especially in real life historical movies? Apart from it being intentional for comedy (i. e. tropic thunder) I can't think of a single time that has happened
Most biblical events are not really including white people. Yet you have white people playing a whole bunch of biblical characters in movies and just a figures in general. Moses wasn't white, the orignal Hebrews were not white, And Jesus was def not white😆😆😆 And now everyone calls Christianity the "white man's religion" when it is actually the exact opposite.
And not even just movies, white people take from just about every culture and call it their owns.
I don't hate white people bc truth isn't hate speech🤷🏾🤷🏾
Nobody in the bible was black though. Ethnically they were all Hebrew, Arab, Greek, or Roman. All of which are considered white so that isn't really an example.
And yeah white people take from just about every culture and call it their own, that's what every culture does. You wear pants don't you?
Nobody accused you of hating white people lol
You obviously don't read the bible.
In Deuteronomy is talks about what would happen to the tribe of Judah when they go back into slavery. The only people who match up to the tribe of Judah are African Americans.
There was a map back in 1747 that had Negroland on it and it had "Kingdom
of Judah" on it that is where the tribe of Judah fled. That is why when most African americans trace theur blood dna back, it takes them to somewhere in west africa because that is where the Hebrews went to after 70 AD.
And when u look at that map it says "Slave coast" right underneath it. That is where the tribe was sold into spavery and brought to America.
There are no other group of people who has experiences what was prophesied im the bible expect blacks.
White people are actually of the bloodline of Esau/Edom.
But u can research that yourself.
I been past the lies so you can't really convince me with something I've been heard and already debunked a lomg time ago. The Bible is black peoples culture and whites whitewashed it like they do everything else.
You can do your own research. I've done my job😆 Have a nice night!
That is some crazy pseudo history you got but whatever lol

disgustingweebtrash
About to go drown myself if I see another Ariel thing on GAG.. hopefully I see some actual mermaids
brennanhuff
The actress for Jasmin isn't arab, but she's half indian. And Aladdin kind of plays out and always blended arab and indian culture together in it. So it made just as much sense for an indian actress to play jasmin as arab. And optics wise, indian can play off or similarities with look compared to arab. And ariel had the signature red hair. I'm pretty sure only white women are gingers. Many white women may not be natural red heads, but a black women with dyed red hair, it;s like having nicki minaj playing the part. It's blatantly not natural, whereas, since a white woman can have natural red hair, you can believe that she may be a natural red head even if she's not. A black woman with red hair isn't fooling anyone, so blatantly fake and phoney.
Cheetah23
If you think Indians looks like Arabs... I have bad news for you. 😂
janna_jcb
I think Halle and Zendaya would both make an amazing Ariel. As to the colour of their skin: if you look at it 'scientifically' it would make more sense for mermaids to be very fair since they are not in contact with the sun a lot and thus would not produce or need much melanin, but since it is a fictional story I don't think it matters
_Jay_
Well if diana was played by a white chick you'd be pretty upset too
SerenityKarma
Im NOT a racist but I find it different than the original and dont really agree with the change.
M'kay. ;)
PrinceOfAljazeera
im sure u be crying if jasmine was played by white girl
Jasmine was played by a girl who was half white, half Indian. Not an Arabian girl. I'm not crying because Naomi Scott was evidently the best fit for the role, I can't stop listening to "speechless".
Speechless is basically my theme song, I love Naomi- been a fan since TBM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBUIdiMb2nU
She WAS. Half White, half Indian. No major uproar compared to Black Ariel. (I'm not actually agreeing or disagreeing with the choice, just thought I'd point this out)
But naomi scott resemble Jasmine she don't remember Ariel there are many White girls who can sing and act and actually look like Ariel looking like character is big part of story.
LogicBomber
Disney has become a complete garbage business, they used to push entertainment, now all they push is feminist agenda garbage.
Dchrls78104
There are far more important things to get hot and bothered about than the skin colour of someone playing the role of a fictional character in the remake of an old fairy tale.
Britantic
Seems like Disney thinks that non-white kids are the only ones with time to watch movies and tv.
Ariel's literally a fucking mermaid and as someone else already pointed out, the story the movie is based on is so different that the movie and story barely have anything to do with each other.
I have never seen a black mermaid ever lol.
lovedejj_xo
I'm excited to watch besides it's a mermaid plus representation matters as well. My little cousin is super excited we both love Halle!
JayParris
I couldn't care less that she's black. My only concern is how thick they're going to lay on the "patriarchy, sjw, feminazi" schtick. It was bad enough that they gave it a happy ending when it was supposed to be a life lesson about not letting your desires overcome your reason, and not making promises you couldn't keep.
But I'll bet you anything that Triton will be the uber-patriarchal oppressor and Eric will be a pansy, and the ladies will forge the happy ending by themselves because they're all so strong and don't need no man.
Bet me
genericname85
society outrages when a white person plays an ethnic character in a movie but is totally fine if an ethnic person plays a white character... PC society is nothing but bullshit these days.
daydreammarie
Not a big deal to me. Couldn't care less to who the actor is, and 100% agree with it being the acting skills and directing. And I highly doubt that the casting directors were picking from race. If you think about it there were probably a lot of girls who showed up to the casting that were white and had red hair so she was probably the few girls who weren't which is good on her part for going for it despite the odds. Looks won't get you jobs all the time you kind of need talent to back it. Which she obviously has if she is being casted for what could be a huge role.
Little mermaid is suppose to be the red sea, though and her sisters the seven seas so I do hope they keep the hair colors. To keep that the same. I can't wait to find out who they cast as the Prince and family tbh, Little mermaid was my jam growing up. So yeah its for the kids but older people who grew up with the movie are just as excited if not more. Lol.
I don't see why people get triggered over this, I won't watch it though.
It's a fictional story. It's very common to alter fictional stories, as a movie does not have to be a completely accurate version of the original story. It's a director's storytelling you get on screen.
It's the same with Lord of the Rings. So many very significant characters and plot lines were changed by Peter Jackson, but people don't really care. Nobody becomes as triggered as plenty of people on here, despite removing/revamping characters, changing plotlines or just making stuff up is far more impactful on a movie than the skin and hair colour of a character.
'The Little Mermaid' is not a historical movie. If you want to make Oskar Schindler white, because he was white, sure. But this is about a FICTIONAL movie. People get too triggered about it.
So you would be okay with a white girl with a fake African American Afro playing a black girl in a movie? Cause I am guessing you would be in reality.
I would not mind that
@Jersey2 except Ariel isn't even a human, fuck part of the rather different story its based on is that she literally doesn't have a soul.
Its honestly ridiculous that you would get offended by this
@tartaarsaus
About the African American being played by a White American thing.
I know you are probably not aware of the connotations and I won't fault you at all for this but in the U. S that's what is known as blackface and it has a VERY Dark and Racist Past in U. S history
@Waffles731
Oh in the Netherlands we have Black Pete, which allegedly according to detractors, basically is Blackface. It's quite popular, but yeah, I know of the connotations of slavery and racism.
But I focused just on someone from group 1 playing character of another group, and that he wanted to know whether it's okay the other way around as well.
Rissyanne
I don't know what the big deal is. Remakes are horrible anyway. It's not like I'm going to see it.
Xoirwinkan
I saw a trend of casting originally red-haired whites as blacks and I'm disgusted by it. I was particularly appalled by this travesty, since she looks like a frog, not a mermaid.
axl83
I honestly like the fact that she was casted to play Ariel. Like yeah sure in the cartoons, Ariel is a white girl but let Disney change it. Its okay. There are other adaptions of "The Little Mermaid" specifically not Disney remakes but other remakes from different studios. They all casted a white girl and let Disney have their decision. I honestly think its great that they decided to cast Halle as Ariel because it gives diversity. I noticed nearly half of Disney movies are about people from a white descent. there's not much diversity. Just Tiana, Mulan, Pocahontas, Moana, and Jasmine. Out of 13 princesses, only 5 are colored. And if Disney wants to change the race of one princess then just let it be. It may be not what you wanted but things do have to change. They cannot be the exact same. And if this is what Disney wants, then let them.
smg99
It's true I think Zendaya would suit the role as a package. Ariel sings a lot and the personality of Zendaya at least in its contemporary portrayal is best suited to her.
Theoretically the little mermaid is suited for a true Irish or welsh red haired or Scottish girl. It's not really intended for darker tones. Unless we like to assume tanning and it's contemporary trend in its social context, the roles chosen for certain women.
I am happy they deviated but I still love vintage Disney and it's deep rooted religious message in the little mermaid.
It was supposedly a representation of Mary of Magdalene who immersed herself after fleeing Israel pregnant and married a knight. Which began a society the Knights Templar a blood line of Jesus Christ.
To see a role given to a colored woman can add to that mystery of what could be?
at least on the screen maybe through imagination or unsolved mystery?
rokn69
You watch to many fantasy shows if you think that Jesus had children.
It's not a fantasy I read it. So you are telling me that you'll deny it. I've heard of it too but please mind you shows are not literature or its likeness.
You may correct me as I may know insufficiently. It's not my religion I'm just a curios avid reader.
Ariel is a mythical creature and can have blue skin with green hair and it would make sense. I don't have a problem with it. However, I don't think Merida, Rapunzel, Elsa, or Anna should be any color other than white because it would mess with the storyline. Same with Tiana, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Ariel's only important feature is her singing ability because it's the only reason the prince falls in love with her and Halle Bailey SOUNDS like Ariel. Even Jodi Benson thinks she's a perfect fit for her.
Lilypad1223
Zendaya would have been great, I love her voice and we've already seen her with red hair.
Stoner710
I'm totally confused what the hell are you talking about Halle Berry should be Ariel? And the Disney version was a white girl so it should be a white girl what and mermaids don't have races? This is kind of one of those who cares it's not a big deal and if we get to see either Zendaya or Halle Berry in a bikini God bless American both are beautiful women why the hell should Grace matter.
I do think they should stick with the original story so a lot more fucked up than anybody really realize the brothers Grimm were called the brothers rim for reason in the original story Ursula manages to kill Ariel and marry the prince instead what see that version on screen
It's cultural Marxism again also globalism. A way to trick your mind. The ultimate goal is the genocidal elimination of race and culture world wide. Eventually all humans will be caged in "smart cities" (UN agenda 21). No one will be allowed into wilderness arias for environmental reasons. In reality those arias will be resource extracted by robot equipment to enrich the global elite. Heads of multi national banks and corporations will be the only free people left on planet earth. People playing along, like you're doing is helping advance this agenda.
Well the UN is the ones pulling the strings obviously.
OR... it's film makers and producers picking black people because they know that sort of marketing is producing cash. Not that this is a good thing, quite greedy. But it's not as nearly as dramatic as you're making it out to be. It's a strategy for more $, manipulation of works for the current society's values as a target audience. Not genocide of race. They're not that cunning.
@Cheetah23 They are that cunning and it becomes apparent when you look at the scope of it. This goes far beyond entertainment. This race mixing garbage is in advertising , in literature, any place they can squeeze it in. All they had to do was tap into the educational system and start pumping out Bolsheviks , the rest spreads from there.
pervertedjester
I just can't wrap my head around the Science of it. Light only goes so far under water.

Massageman
If it's between these two, I, too would go the Zendaya route.
But I digress - - - - -
The majority of reboots/remakes/ re whatevers are usually worse than the original, be they black, white, or pink with purple polka dots. Disney corporate has a plan mapped out for the next decade or so concerning all the remakes currently on the books. Cartoons into live action, cartoons into new cartoons, whatever, etc. All seem to center around one thing - making more money regardless of facial shades.
Sweatyotterr
I'm not going to see it anyway so I don't care at all
I am more concerned about the lack of/demotion of MALE Disney leads. Why aren't they burring Atlantis, Hercules, Tarzan, Emperror's New Groove and Treasure Planet?
I am guessing THIS song won't be in Mulan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAG9vh3z2VA
And clearly they want to pretend this never existed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVuNypWDuKU
There were two different styles of Tarzan live action movies, but alright.
@Cheetah23 I meant Disney's Tarzan not some random Tarzan movie.
Yeah I know, but I don't think it's the best idea to have yet another tarzan movie. But that's only my opinion, not wanting to affect yours
@Cheetah2 I definitely understand that. The only reason I want another by Disney is to bring back at least that one song I linked. Think of the last time you heard a female empowerment song, think of how many there. The two I linked are the only non-military male-empowerment songs I could find and one of them is in Disney's Tarzan.
I get that. The original Tarzan after all was definitely a great film with great subtle themes. I guess the only consoling thing about this is that no live action actually is ever better than the original (for me, so far), it probably wouldn't bring out the best qualities of the original anyway.

What is the Executor of a Will Entitled to in Florida? – Rights and Limits
Settling a deceased's estate in Florida is not an easy task, which requires fair compensation for those who use their time and effort to serve as personal representatives or executors. In this article, you will find whether an executor of a will is entitled to compensation in Florida.
Understanding the Role of a Personal Representative in Florida
Also referred to as "executor," the personal representative is the person appointed in court to execute the deceased's estate subject to probate. The executor's duties include:
Identifying, gathering, and inventorying the decedent's assets
Notifying all interested parties
Publishing notice to any creditors with an interest in the estate
Sell, mortgage, lease, or execute any of the assets in the best interest of the estate and its beneficiaries
Legally representing the estate whenever it is necessary (e.g., probate litigation)
Responding or objecting to creditors' claims
Filing tax returns on the estate's behalf
Distributing the assets to their rightful beneficiaries
Closing out the estate in court
This is only a summary of the tasks performed by an executor. The larger an estate is, the more complex and demanding this role is to fulfill.
Under Florida law, an executor must act exclusively in the best interest of the deceased's estate, heirs, and beneficiaries.
Florida Statutes §733.602 (1) provides that "a personal representative is under a duty to settle and distribute the estate of the decedent in accordance with the terms of the decedent's will and this code as expeditiously and efficiently as is consistent with the best interests of the estate."
The same statute adds that "a personal representative shall use the authority conferred by this code, the authority in the will, if any, and the authority of any order of the court, for the best interests of interested persons, including creditors."
What is the Executor of a Will Entitled to in Florida? – As Provided by Law
Florida Statutes §733.617 (1) expressly state that "a personal representative shall be entitled to a commission payable from the estate assets without a court order as compensation for ordinary services."
Accordingly, "the commission shall be based on the compensable value of the estate, which is the inventory value of the probate estate assets and the income earned by the estate during administration."
Florida Statutes §733.617 (2) defines that "a commission computed on the compensable value of the estate is presumed to be reasonable compensation for a personal representative in formal administration as follows:
At the rate of 3 percent for the first $1 million
At the rate of 2.5 percent for all above $1 million and not exceeding $5 million
At the rate of 2 percent for all above $5 million and not exceeding $10 million
At the rate of 1.5 percent for all above $10 million
The executor may also receive further compensation as is reasonable for any extraordinary services performed during the settlement of an estate, such as:
Selling real property
Conducting litigation on the estate's behalf
Carrying on the decedent's business
Handling protected homestead property
Please note that Florida Statutes §733.617 (4) provide that "if the will provides that a personal representative's compensation shall be based upon specific criteria, other than a general reference to commissions allowed by law or words of similar import (…), then a personal representative shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with that provision.

Hey Jake I see you have 2 worker profiles, jakesmith and fakejake. It Looks like fakejake does not have an email set up and it is probably interfering with the CRM task manager tool. I would either add your email to the fakejake profile or delete this profile. Let me know if you need anything else!
Hi Noah, I deleted that profile but have not started getting my tasks again yet... any ideas?
It looks like the Worker - Task Reminder email in Settings -> Email Center isn't active currently. This will need to be on for the task reminders. Once you do this you should start receiving the task reminders to your email.


The OpenStack Summit in Austin has already kicked off, and this time, Ubuntu is the official lanyard sponsor at OpenStack Summit Austin.
The sponsorship contract for the OpenStack Summit explicitly states that only the official lanyard sponsor may distribute lanyards. Whilst we understand the reason that clause is there, we don't agree with it. It just doesn't seem very "open" nor in the spirit of OpenStack.
Freedom of choice is an important aspect of all open source communities and one that we certainly champion, so attendees should be free to wear whatever branded lanyard they want with pride at the OpenStack Summit in Austin and we at Canonical will celebrate it. My hometown here, Austin, prides itself on diversity, where we like to Keep Austin Weird!
So please -- partners, customers, competitors, other OpenStack Sponsors: if you want to distribute your own lanyards then please go ahead safe in the knowledge that Canonical will not complain to the conference organizers. Let's Keep OpenStack (a little bit) Weird, too!

Over the last couple of months it's been a hard slog with us all working hard to meet the needs that present themselves at the project. The number of food parcels we distribute has remained high at around 120 per month – this number has direct impact on the demand for one to one support we provide to help people with the issues that have led them to crisis point. It's been a mixed bag with a sad number of people suffering at the hands of relatives and partners.
We've had bereavement and serious illness to contend with too; a reminder that none of us are invincible. Our University placement student was right as rain one minute and the next she was taken into hospital with appendicitis with complications and since then she's been discharged and readmitted with sepsis. We wish her well and hope she can return to work soon as we miss her so much.
The recovery cafe is now open 2 days per week due to the level of demand so there is hot food available now on Tuesday's and Friday's starting at 10 am. The volunteers do a fantastic job, the cafe provides a relaxed and welcoming space with access to other support and activities.
We have been able to continue getting to popular locations in the Pensnett area whilst out on detached youth sessions and we have met with young people we have known for some time linked to our football sessions. It was really good to be able to see them, catch up and tell them when footy will be restarting. The work at the Dell stadium has taken longer than anticipated and throughout the last couple of months some connections have been brief due to the colder conditions. In our conversations we have been able to talk to young people about school and exams, relationships and other issues that are important to them. We have been in the area doing detached youth work for few years now, Jen has been there all in all for about 20 years! Inevitably there are times when we see the adults who were once the young people we supported and it's always good to see them. One of the nights saw plenty of activity despite the chilling -1 degree temperature. Wow that's dedication. Great job youth team! We are now looking forward to getting back in the swing of football and our new multi-sport sessions. Bring on the better weather too I say.

La fortezza di Santa Teresa (in spagnolo: fortaleza de Santa Teresa) è una costruzione di origine militare ubicata in Uruguay, nel dipartimento di Rocha, nei pressi della frontiera con il Brasile; si trova a poca distanza dalla costa dell'Oceano Atlantico, immersa nel parque nacional de Santa Teresa, un'area protetta di 3000 ettari.

La costruzione fu iniziata dai portoghesi nel 1762, per difendere lo stretto passaggio, chiamato La Angostura (in italiano: "La strettoia") posto tra l'oceano e la Laguna Negra, un corridoio naturale obbligato sul cammino tra Rio Grande e Maldonado. Pochi mesi dopo fu la fortezza fu però conquistata dagli spagnoli, che ne completarono l'edificazione. Nel 1816 fu occupata dalle truppe luso-brasiliane nel corso dell'invasione della Provincia Orientale scatenata da Giovanni VI; dopo il 1828 passò, con la vicina fortezza di San Miguel, del territorio uruguaiano.

Descrizione
La fortezza è stata costruita nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo secondo i metodi di fortificazione alla moderna teorizzati da Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban: a seguito dello sviluppo delle armi da fuoco, e in particolare dell'artiglieria, le fortificazioni furono dotate di mura non eccessivamente alte ma molto spesse, mentre ai loro vertici furono progettati particolari elementi difensivi, i baluardi, nei quali veniva piazzata l'artiglieria, con il compito di difendere i tratti di mura rettilinei, le cosiddette cortine, più esposti agli attacchi nemici. Il complesso architettonico militare si trova in posizione dominante, in una zona di dune costiere, paludi e laghi.

La fortezza di Santa Teresa ha la forma di un pentagono irregolare, che occupa un'area di più di 1610 m²; il suo perimetro misura 642 m. Le sue mura sono costituite da due pareti in pietra grezza, tra le quali è posto un terrapieno che rende lo spessore variabile tra i 10-12 metri della base e i due metri all'altezza del parapetto; lo scopo di tale struttura era quello di permettere la resistenza alle vibrazioni dovute ai colpi d'artiglieria e rendere più sicuro il cammino di ronda. La costruzione era originariamente completata da un fossato protetto da parapetti, staccionate e terrapieni che aveva il duplice scopo di provvedere al rifornimento d'acqua e sbarrare l'intero corridoio che costituiva il passaggio obbligato dal sud del Brasile verso Maldonado e Montevideo.

I baluardi, posti ai cinque vertici del pentagono, hanno la capacità di alloggiare diversi pezzi d'artiglieria, il cui posizionamento è determinato da spalti e feritoie. A partire dalla porta principale della fortezza, andando in senso antiorario sono chiamati:

 San Juan, nei pressi del quale si trova la polveriera interrata
 San Carlos, che poteva ospitare la batteria più imponente
 San Luis, nei pressi del quale esisteva un recinto per gli animali d'allevamento
 San Clemente
 San Martín

Storia
La costruzione della fortezza di Santa Teresa fu una conseguenza della firma, il 12 febbraio 1761, del trattato di El Pardo, per mezzo del quale Portogallo e Spagna annullavano il precedente trattato di Madrid del 1750; con il nuovo accordo, la corona spagnola non avrebbe più dovuto cedere le Misiones Orientales ai portoghesi, che a loro volta avrebbero potuto mantenere il possesso della città di Colonia del Sacramento, sul Río de la Plata, di fronte a Buenos Aires. Nel 1762, su ordine del governatore di Rio de Janeiro Gomes Freire de Andrade, I conte di Bobadela, una pattuglia portoghese avanzò verso sud agli ordini di Tomás Luis Osorio; questi concepì l'idea di costruire un forte in grado di sbarrare alle truppe nemiche lo stretto passaggio tra l'Atlantico e la Laguna Negra, chiamato La Angostura. Il 15 ottobre 1762 fece tracciare dall'aiuto-ingegnere Juan Gomes de Mello il perimetro della nuova opera, dedicandola alla santa celebrata quel particolare giorno, ossia Teresa d'Avila.

Pochi mesi dopo, il governatore di Buenos Aires, Pedro de Cevallos, occupò Colonia del Sacramento e, proseguendo la sua marcia verso nord, prese possesso della fortezza, ancora in fase di costruzione; decise subito di completare l'opera, incaricando dei lavori prima l'ingegnere Francisco Rodríguez Cardozo e, in seguito, Bartolomé Howell.

Il forte rimase in possesso agli spagnoli fino al 7 maggio 1811, quando si arrese alle forze rivoluzionarie; l'impossibilità di difenderla dall'avanzata delle truppe portoghesi chiamate in soccorso dal viceré Francisco Javier de Elío, però, la fece presto sloggiare. I portoghesi la abbandonarono a seguito del trattato Rademaker-Herrera del 1812, per poi tornare ad occuparla nelle prime fasi dell'invasione luso-brasiliana del 1816. Nel corso della guerra argentino-brasiliana il complesso fu conquistato nel 1825 e in maniera definitiva nel 1828 dal patriota orientale Leonardo Olivera.

Following President Donald Trump's unprecedented acceptance of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's offer to meet, reporters asked the White House why Trump would grant such a meeting, suggesting it would improperly amplify the regime's profile.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested that news organisations were partly to blame for "elevating" North Korea's status.
During the 2018 Winter Olympics, several news reports compared White House senior adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump to Kim Yo-jung, Kim Jong-un's sister. Both women made appearances at the Games in Pyeongchang.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested that news organisations were partly to blame for "elevating" North Korea's profile recently.
Asked during a Friday press briefing why President Donald Trump would indicate his willingness to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un – given the North's track record of human-rights violations and general misbehavior – Sanders said that she was "glad" the reporter brought the question up.
"No action by this administration has even remotely demonstrated a level of rise that the media did during the Olympics and through some of those stories," Sander continued.
Sanders was apparently referencing a comparison made between Trump's daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, and Kim Yo-jung, Kim Jong-un's sister. During the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, both Ivanka and Kim Yo-jung were part of a delegation for their respective countries to South Korea.
As Ivanka took part in various diplomatic meetings, including briefing South Korean President Moon Jae-in, several US and South Korean media organisations published articles that compared Ivanka and Kim Yo-jung. The North Korean leader's sister took part in separate diplomatic engagements apart from Ivanka Trump.

The Late Investor > Headlines > Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital (HASI)
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital (HASI)
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital believes there are above-average returns to be gained from investing in climate-friendly solutions.
It manages over $7 billion in assets and exclusively invests in companies involved in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable infrastructure markets. Hannon believes in its mission so much that it requires companies seeking its capital to be neutral or negative in cumulative carbon emissions or show other environmental benefits.
Baird analyst Ben Kallo has an Outperform (Buy) rating on the stock and a price target of $61. He notes that the company reported "solid" first-quarter results and confirmed that the CAGR of its distributable earnings would be 7% to 10% from 2021 to 2023. As for dividend-per-share growth, the CAGR is expected to come in between 3% and 5% over the same three-year period.
Hannon is a top pick among green energy stocks due to its "consistent execution, growing pipeline, and focus on renewables," Kallo says.
HASI offers investors a "unique" opportunity to invest directly in the financing of renewable energy and energy efficiency companies, Kallo adds.
The company has helped finance more than 450 sustainable infrastructure projects since 2000. Moreover, Hannon invests in projects that tend to be "relatively low risk with recurring and predictable cash flows." It works with "high credit quality obligors" such as federal, state, and local governments, utilities, and hospitals, the analyst says.
Riley analyst Christopher Souther also has a Buy rating on Hannon, with an $80 price target. "We are beginning to see early signs of the strong potential for the company to benefit from [the] Biden administration policy via an uptick in energy efficiency opportunities," he says.
The consensus analyst rating on HASI is Strong Buy.

On this, the second anniversary of Bent Fine Jewelry, I wanted to write directly to you, my reader, customer, friend or acquaintance. A wise sister told me that my latest collection, Dunes Collection, was a culmination of blood, sweat and tears. I laughed it off at first, "tra la la, it was nothing! No really, I could do this all day long!" But then, when I thought long and hard about that statement, she was right. Side note: big sisters are always right.
Blood? Oh yea, that's my heart right there. No blood was shed in the expansion of my business (thank God) but it did take a lot of heart. I LOVE what I do. I think about it, study it, get inspired by projects and delight in the development. If I had one thing to tell myself fresh out of college, it would be this: if you do not love what you're doing, stop it. Right. Now.
Sweat, and lots of it. I worked hours upon hours on developing my latest and greatest, not to mention the hours I spend on the business as a whole. I could have put it out there months ago, slapped it haphazardly into cyberspace for all to see but I didn't. It wasn't ready. Just like a writer writes and rewrites, an artist paints and paints over, I needed time to make sure what I was putting out there was a complete and utter reflection of my vision. Scary? Hell yea, but necessary. I learned that if you're going to work on anything, be completely true to the process no matter how long it takes. You'll eventually get to the point when you stop tweaking each sentence, put the brush down, and know that it's complete.
Tears, lawd there were tears, literally and figuratively. There were tears of frustration when I hit roadblocks, tears of irritation when I had to scrap ideas, tears of self-doubt when I would let my mind tell me I wasn't cut out for this industry. I also had tears of pure joy. These were most of the literal tears shed, by the way. I'd be overwhelmed when a close friend would tell me they believed in my vision or when my husband would tell me that I'm on the right track. Pure bliss when I finally received my pieces and they were just as beautiful as they were in my head over a year ago.
I've learned I'm not the only entrepreneur that puts her blood, sweat and tears into her passion. I'm EVERY entrepreneur, artist or visionary that scraps the conventional and truly gives it her all. I'm emboldened by each and every person I see out there following their own hearts. Hats off to you because it takes guts. If you are not completely on fire when you wake up, figure out what you need to do to get there. (Okay, maybe not every morning, but like 93% of mornings.) I guarantee you will find abundance when you follow your heart.
This endeavor would have never been possible had it not been for your support. Some of you supported me by purchasing my creations, some of you supported me by 'likes' on social media (hey, I'm cheap and easy to please…uhhh, strike that.), some of you supported me with prayers and cheers. For this, I am humbled and want to extend my deepest gratitude. I believe in helping you feel amazing. I believe in wearing and creating meaningful jewelry that shifts your outlook, your vibration and reminds you of something that's special to you. I am humbled by your love and find joy in your encouragement.


I WANT TO SETTLE MY CASE BUT REQUIRE THE DEFENDANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF MY FUTURE MEDICAL CARE. CAN THAT BE DONE?
a case, they are doing just that: settling. They do not want to have contingent and unknown risks and they do not want to have to keep their file open for years to come. If the case goes to trial, the jury will award a lump sum which will include an allowance for all future damages. This money can then be invested by you or a structured settlement\annuity can be arranged, so that you will receive monthly or other periodic payments as needed.


Do you like a good Halloween scare? Depending on your answer, you might – or might not – want to google "how to hack into building systems." I did and was surprised at the number of hacking events involving building equipment from familiar suppliers.
According to Federal Facility Cybersecurity, a report released this year by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the threats can involve any building system with an internet connection – including CCTV camera systems, HVAC, access control, fire annunciation and suppression, elevators, lighting, and power systems. The purpose of such internet connections can be for equipment monitoring or alarms, delivery of software updates, or remote control of building functions, but owners may have little knowledge of them. Hackers can locate such devices with the help of software programs designed to identify internet-connected devices. Cyberattacks can come from insiders, like unhappy employees or contractors, or from criminal outsiders. Public and private buildings are vulnerable.
Many building control systems have not been designed with a high degree of cybersecurity in mind. They may have hardcoded passwords that cannot be changed and backdoors for use by the manufacturer, vendor or integrator. Once hackers have gotten a foothold, they can tap software that helps them to decode administrative passwords.
lock remotely as part of a coordinated physical attack on a facility.
Hackers and other criminals look for the path of least resistance, and simple practices can deter them. A report from Schneider Electric encourages good network and password management, user management (such as auto-expiration account routines and immediate disabling of accounts for employees leaving or moving to new positions), and software management (immediate use of security patches when they become available). The GAO report notes that having a strategy is a starting point to address the risks – but the Department of Homeland Security has not developed one for federal facilities.
Have you developed one for yours?
