Somewhere Walt Disney is furious. With all the unwitting ostentatiousness of 1960’s segregationists, today’s version of Walt’s fabled company – the emblem of which has since its inception been a mouse with black skin and a white face – Disney is now going woke.
Journalist Christopher Rufo has unearthed the woke tyranny that is circulated by today’s Disney officials and tweeted it out:
SCOOP: The Walt Disney Corporation claims that America was founded on “systemic racism,” encourages employees to complete a “white privilege checklist,” and separates minorities into racially-segregated “affinity groups.”
I've obtained internal documents that will shock you.????

According to a trove of whistleblower materials, Disney has launched a “diversity and inclusion” program, called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which includes trainings on “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white fragility,” “white saviors,” “microaggressions,” and “antiracism.”
Got that? The American treasure that was the fantasy-land of Disney, begun with talking mice, ducks and a dog and now seemingly endless exhibits, rides and adventures at its two mega-parks Disneyland and Disney World is now going full scale woke.
The one-time dreamland for children and not a few adults is now morphing into a wonderland of racism.
Based on this distinctly race-based Disney company policy there are, um, questions.
Donald Duck and his significant other Daisy, not to mention his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, not to mention his uncles Professor Ludwig Von Drake and Scrooge McDuck are…gasp!…all white! Will Donald and his flock of white ducks be getting quacky tutorials on white duck privilege, white duck fragility and the systemic racism of white duckism? Will Snow White become Snow Black? Why is Goofy black?
Disney’s Big Bad Wolf is black – with a white face. Hmmm. Will his color be changed as an admission that the depiction of a Big Bad Wolf as black is a vivid example of systemic cartoon racism? Will the tale of three pink little pigs being threatened by the black Big Bad Wolf be re-written? Why is Clarabelle Cow black with, yes, a white face? Why is Hercules a white guy? For that matter, why is Scar the bad lion in The Lion King – yellow? Is Disney anti-Asian? Will Scar be lectured on micro-aggressions?
This would all be hilarious if in fact, it were not so deadly serious. What Disney has signed on to is woke-ism…. dividing Americans by race.
And there’s nothing magical about that.
