Black family claims Disney’s White
Rabbit character refused to touch their kids

Yahoo! News, by Claudine Zap

Original Article

Posted By:NorthernDog, 2/8/2013 6:20:35 PM

Could an actor playing the White Rabbit be racist? Disneyland is being sued by Jason and Annelia Black, who say their African-American children were treated differently than white kids who approached the “Alice in Wonderland” character for hugs and pictures at the Anaheim, Calif., amusement park. According to Fox5SanDiego.com, 6-year-old Jason Black Jr. approached his favorite character at the park, but was rebuffed. Jason told the station, “I went to hug him, but he turned his back. It’s made me feel sad because I wanted to really hug him.” Older brother Elijah reportedly then tried to hold the rabbit’s hand

I guess my Daughter should sue also. My Granddaughter wanted a picture with the Tangled princess, Rapunzel and she was rudely blown off. She cried... I want a million dollars ...

I was offended that I didn´t get to go at all. So I will sue because I wasn´t greeted by ANY of the Disney characters. When I did go to Epcot (about 8 years ago), I was told that I couldn´t have free beer -- which was also rude.

When I get done with them, they will wish that they never set up shop in a country in which people will sue because they didn´t get everything they wanted -- that´ll show ´em.

If the White Rabbit HAD touched the kids, they´d have said he molested or injured them in some way, so they´d still would´ve sued. That´s the mindset.

The White Rabbit was this 6 year-old´s favorite character at the park? Seriously? Aren´t there more up to date and cooler characters than the White Rabbit that this little guy would be drawn to? Just asking.
Maybe the Cracker Rabbit is racist. Who knows? I once had a very friendly dolphin character attempt to feel me up at a park in Australia.
I didn´t sue.

A few years back Disney had a policy, if my memory is correct, of never settling such claims out of court.

It seemed to work. They are a natural target, loaded with money, and in a business that involves direct dealings with millions of people.

I have a cousin who worked as a bartender in the Orlando area. Several of the people who dressed as Disney characters visited the bar on a regular basis. My cousin commented that some of these Disney people were as foul mouthed as can be, and stated that if parents knew what these people were like that wore the Disney character suit at Disney World, they wouldn´t let their kids within ten feet of them.

I played "Winnie the Pooh" at Disneyland in the summer of 1969, fresh out of High School. I never treated anyone like that though some of the guests would try to mess with us. One time I was attacked by a screaming hoard of Mexican Brownies, that was scary.

I also sexually molested a gal with that big WTP nose, I had her pinned up against a wall, she was laughing hysterically as I had my way.

I have to agree with another poster--there is no way this kid´s favorite character is the rabbit. No way! Maybe in 1958, but not today. The kids today love the Toy Story and Cars characters. Fake, fraud... scam.

This law suit is preposterous in so many ways. One, who has ever filed a law suit for "not touching" them. Every one at Disney has all kinds of cameras, not to mention the security cams ALL over the park. So if there was any merit to this and film = evidence existed, this suit would never seen the light of day.

This is smacks of JJackson Jr. shakedown, which under BO´s tenure is now the standard play book tactic in getting other people´s money using the "race card" winning lottery ticket.

The muslims are doing the same thing now, all over the US based upon empowerment the Aff. Act. politicians and PC media liberals are spouting daily in every conceivable market.

Just look at USA network´s anti-discrimination, anti-homophobe, anti-bully public announcement campaign.

Basically, if you are a member of a protected or special interest group it is open season on whitey.

Seriously if there is no viable proof, Disney should counter-claim just on principle alone. Hopefully a judge with guts will summary judgment this law suit.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- A NATO airstrike in eastern Afghanistan killed 11 civilians, 10 of them children, in addition to the Taliban militants it was trying to hit, Afghan officials said. The strike late Saturday in the Shigal district of restive Kunar province near Pakistan was called by coalition forces after they and their Afghan counterparts came under an attack that killed one American advisor and badly wounded four Afghan troops. The American death was reported on Saturday, but details of the alleged civilian casualties only surfaced Sunday. Wasifullah Wasifi, spokesperson for the governor of Kunar province, said the strike

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?
The Week, by Staff    Original Article
Posted By: NorthernDog- 4/7/2013 11:28:27 AM     Post Reply
Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

The US defence department has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next week at an air force base in California amid mounting tensions with North Korea, according to a senior official. Defence secretary Chuck Hagel reportedly decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the Korean crisis. "This is the logical, prudent and responsible course of action to take," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The test was not connected to the ongoing annual

BOISE, Idaho — Authorities in eastern Idaho are investigating the shooting deaths of two men and a woman whose bodies were found in a home that contained a marijuana grow operation. The deaths took place sometime between Thursday afternoon and evening by someone who had some type of relationship with the victims, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said. The bodies were discovered Friday outside Holbrook, a town of about 400 people just north of the Idaho-Utah state line. Authorities said a 2-month-old was found under the arm of one of the victims — 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter.

LOS ANGELES — The role of female talk show hosts in late-night TV network history, all 50-plus years of it, can be summed up in two words: Joan Rivers.

Audiences listen with rapt attention as she discusses the plight of women and girls in developing countries. Even a long-expected book deal announcement generates lots of chatter. Not long after Clinton stepped down as President Barack Obama´s secretary of state, the "will she or won´t she" question is already following her around like the activists who held dark blue "Ready for Hillary" signs outside speeches at the Kennedy Center in Washington and New York´s Lincoln Center.

NEW YORK -- In case Americans want to scarf down their fast-food even faster, KFC is stripping the bones out of its chicken. The fast-food chain says it´s introducing deep-fried boneless chicken pieces on April 14 as an alternative to its traditional breast, thigh and drumstick pieces. The new offering reflects the growing popularity of nuggets and strips that are easier to eat on the go, as well as Americans´ seemingly endless desire for more convenient foods. KFC says nearly four out of five servings of chicken sold in the U.S. are now boneless. Based on customer trends

Climate change is expanding sea ice in Antarctica, a paradoxical finding that appears to be the result of melting glaciers, according to a new study. As freshwater glaciers melt, cold water sinks into the ocean, keeping the sea colder than it would otherwise be. The fresh water is less dense than seawater, so it floats on the top layer of the ocean, which in turn stays cooler. That makes it easier for the seas to freeze again in the Antarctic fall and winter, scientists say. This negative feedback is expected to continue, they added. Sea ice levels

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
