“ it’s important to remember that the Br’er characters are primarily based on inappropriate stereotypes of Black Americans.” WRONG. The Br’ers come from authentic African Folklore, and the vernacular you speak of is also authentic. You’re not helping anyone by spreading false information like everyone else.
Disney is not helping anyone by keeping an outdated ride in operation simply to cater to nostalgia fans who want to keep something around for personal and emotional reasons. Disney gaveth and Disney can taketh away, for whatever reason they like.
On a separate but related note, Joel Chandler Harris was an overrated author whose most successful stories were the result of cultural appropriation. My opinion, for what it’s worth, and frankly, it’s the best opinion in the history of the world. No exaggeration. Good day, all. #ISaidGoodDay
I hate to burst your idiotic bubble but Joel Chandler Harris recorded those tales as told to him. HE did not create them. If he had not recorded them, who’s to say they would even exist today. Also, this isn’t only about nostalgia. The voice actor behind Br’er Bear has a daughter currently fighting against the re-theme. Lastly, anyone who claims their opinion is “the best opinion in the history of the world” will not and should not be taken seriously.
Actually, there’s a small detail you’re getting wrong. Harris created fictional characters BASED ON and INSPIRED BY tales that were told to him on the plantation where he grew up. That’s a key difference. Also, if “Br’er Bear’s daughter” is fighting against the re-theme, that’s clearly motivated by an emotion-based connection with the ride since a piece of a beloved family member’s life is contained there, but it’s not a compelling enough reason for Disney to save an attraction that the company sees fit to put out to pasture, as it’s already done with tons of attractions over the years.
By the way, if you feel a person who claims to have the best opinion (or best anything) in the history of the world shouldn’t be taken seriously, then it means you never took our previous president seriously. And that’s a good thing.

(And I was being facetious anyway.)
