Yes, I know Lion King was create long before Trump's presidency but I thought the timing of its recent airing on TV to be really suspicious and the politics of nativism and xenophobia have been around long before him.
The lion who wants hyenas to have equal rights is evil and is a tyrant. The hyenas are portrayed as dimwitted creatures who ravage the pridelands when they are allowed to immigrate to it. Then, the lighter-colored Simba must return and save the day by deporting the hyenas and ethnically purifying the pridelands. Yeah, no racist message there. :roll:
Why this movie is allowed any visibility on television in such a volatile election is beyond me.

Are you actually trying to argue that the Lion King has a racist/xenophobic message?
Please tell me you aren't being serious.
The Lion King doesn't have any racist/xenophobic undertones.
You are just reading WAY too much into things, and you're seeing racism and xenophobia where it isn't present in the first place.
Why it's allowed? Some anachronistic idea of freedom of expression or something like that, probably.
How does it notm have xenophobic undertones?
This isn't even up for debate. The Lion King is not racist/xenophobic. End of story.
It's just a goddamn movie. And a damn good movie at that.
The Lion King has absolutely nothing to do with racism and xenophobia.

No, it's because your 100% incorrect.In other words, "because I said so"?
How does it not have xenophobic undertones?
Any kind of freedom comes with responsibilities.

Like I said, you are reading WAY too much into things, and seeing racism and xenophobia where it isn't.
How does it not have xenophobic undertones?
Any kind of freedom comes with responsibilities.
And how is it not xenophobic and racist?
Are you really trying to get me to prove a negative? That's like if I told you prove that I don't ride a pink dragon to work everyday.And how is it not xenophobic and racist?

You are the one that made the claim that the Lion King is racist and xenophobic, so the burden of proof is solely on you, homie.
Go back and read the OP again and tell me where I went wrong.

I wish we people would get their stories straight...
It takes little imagination to move from species to race .. for those who have bought into ''race'', which I accept NOT .. Anyway, the movie, as I read in the Atlanta post, does depict the evils of discrimination and ''racism'' . A great many movies , particularly the older ones do show the evils of man ... and he must be made see this ..Yes, I know Lion King was create long before Trump's presidency but I thought the timing of its recent airing on TV to be really suspicious and the politics of nativism and xenophobia have been around long before him.
