UPDATE: I created a new Poll at the top of this thread, please cast your vote on this updated poll, even if you voted in the previous poll.
Hi there Fellow Dis'ers.
I have experienced sincere warmth and welcomes from Pete, John and Kevin, Corey and @Ryno. When attending past events, I have to look around and ask "where are the Black & Brown, Disney fans of color?" I know you are out there because I am not the only Brown man who loves Disney.
The creation of "D.O.C.'s" Dis'ers Of Color is not meant to separate people, instead, let us create a forum topic for Dis'er Of Color and our allies. "Allies" are anyone and everyone who is willing to share and contribute positively while respecting the experiences/ views of people of color.
The intent is to explore topics that promote diversity and inclusion from the viewpoint of people of color. We can discuss a wide range of topics including; "Who else was glad to see the Dixie Landings Resort sign come down?" Has anyone see Pocahontas and Tianna lately?" What do you think of Disney's latest nod to cultural awareness, Disney's announcement of re-theming of "Splash Moutain redo as "Princess Tianna & Friends Bayou Splash?"
What do you all think of a "D.O.C.'s" forum/ Topic? "Doc" is one of my favorite dwarfs.
If you do not understand a reference or viewpoint, there is no shame asking questions, it is better to ask than make statements out of ignorance. I ask everyone to be respectful of each other. Negative, or hate speech will not be tolerated.
I have submitted a request for the creation of a dedicated Official Forum D.O.C.'s ( Dis'ers Of Color & Allies)
I created a Poll question there, hopefully, if we get enough votes, Dis Board Admins will approve our request, please be sure to visit and cast your vote.
Obviously every topic here on the Dis Boards is not going to be of interest to everyone. For example, is a 68-year-old Male really contributing to a topic "Nursing Moms tips for Nursing Moms visiting Disney"? It is the nature of some humans to feel they must have an opinion on everything. Surely no compassionate Dis fan would deny nursing Moms the opportunity to share tips with other nursing Moms, without feeling the need to troll. D.O.C.'s are asking for the same empathic consideration.
We are in the process of petitioning the Dis Boards Admins to be granted full forum status. Once we are granted forum status, we will be moved into the appropriate section. Please be patient.
Wishing you all Peace and Love and the love of things Disney.
Be well and stay safe. Wear a face mask if not for yourself, for the health of someone you care about.
