Disneyland has removed the “zip-a-dee-doo-dah” lyric played during its park parades because it comes from a movie that has been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans

. The lyric initially appeared in the “Magic Happens” parade when it debuted in March 2020. The parade recently returned after a nearly three-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Upon its re-introduction last month, spectators of the twice-daily parade, described as “celebrating magical moments from legendary Disney stories” on its website, now hear the lyric — “think of the happiest things” from “Peter Pan”— in its place.

” It’s being revamped to star the characters from the 2009 animated film, “The Princess and the Frog,” which features Disney’s first Black princess. Disney\n \n said at the time that the new Splash Mountain concept is “inclusive” and “one that all of our guests can connect with and be inspired by.” The Splash Mountain ride at Walt Disney\n \n World in Orlando has already been closed for remodeling. The new attraction is expected to open at both US resorts in 2024.

Theres a million p*ssed of rednecks just like me, all sick and tired of this bullsh *t called PC. If you got the right to burn my flag, I have the right to kick your a**. Woke is a joke.

Indoctrination! True African American’s don’t want to eliminate what they went through but to educate people who actually do not know. I had a black man say to me The Republican party is still angry they lost the Civil War and slavery. NOT KNOWING THAT WAS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!…

Wasn't this a back man's song?

Sorry Disney, you had the better part of my childhood and it was wonderful. But I now see that you’re woke.

This is 2023. The year America goes full retard

Ok then, whatever

I see the accusers, are the racist! Grow up!

The song was about a black man being happy to be freed from slavery. And the actor was the the first black man to to win an Emmy

These attention seeking blacks!!

JESUS when will it END!!!

zip-a-dee-good-duh”

The world is getting boring! Can’t make jokes, can’t play songs, can’t have truly free speech… and all this is not even touching the surface of the real racism problem! Whatever….

When will it stop just every body is looking and looking to complain .Get a life

What's so racist about zip-a-dee doo-dah? That's not a racial slur.

Give me a goddamm break! The song is about being happy and makes me happy. People are just looking for an excuse to pick a fight! The only thing sad about Disney, well the money I drop everytime I go there 🤣.., however I'm a fan and I still go. You don't like Disney, DON'T GO!

The only reason I liked the ride was the song !! 😕

Wow those people sure are sensitive

This is getting ridiculous

Well zipa dee do dah to Disneyland

I am disagree

Sincerely hope that Disney's permits won't get renewed

There is no racist portrayal of blacks in that movie

Ridiculous!

Wondering when 'Roots ' will be ' black listed ' - so to speak... 🤷‍♂️🤔😉

The world is a better place now. I'm glad we're all focused on the important things.

Drink Caddy for take Out. Reusable 4 Cup Drink Carriers for hot and Cold Drinks. No Spill Cup Holder. Perfect Drink Caddy for uber eats or doordash

Disney is more classist than racist. They have priced all but the richest out of their parks. When will they address that inequity?

Should we all wear masks now or is the disease gone away now ?

What? This song ?

Disney has lost its mind

Racism defeated..

Go Woke, Go Broke - Disney doesn’t seem to be learning that.

So common sense is just gone now?

Lolz

I can't imagine being offended by hearing 'zip-a-dee-doo-dah'. Everyday I think I won't see as much stupid as yesterday and then I see a news article...from pretty much any source and people need to stop searching for a reason to be angry.

Simple if it bothers you don’t buy watch attend Disney products. Vote with your wallets not overblown outrage. After all in the scheme of things a private co stop playing a song means nothing

It’s racist to have Black entertainment network, it’s racist to have BLM, it’s racist to have Black history month, it’s racist to have a black national anthem. … The Jewish community had it way worst than the slaves. They went thru genocide. Think about it. 🤔

Well this is some Mickey Mouse shit

Are you kidding me?

Make sure you don't hire rappers to sing on any shows as their songs have racist lyrics.

Of course they have... The Ruins everything it touches, EVERYTHING. leftist

This “everything is racist” time that we are living in is getting really fucking old…

Bunch of old white people making decisions on behalf of black people hahahaha. I know many black friends who love splash mountain and never thought it was racist until the Libs cried about it like everything else

And that’s why I stopped going

This is so ridiculas. Have you people even seen the movie?

Disney was the creator of all these racist stereotypes. They should cancel themselves.

Remember, this is coming from the same people who told us a red hat was racist. These are the same people who had an issue with a toy potato. Democrats really need to grow up and get out of their feelings.

They finally did it. This is what black people fought for.

Some of you need to look where Disneyland is on a map. Desantis doesn’t have anything to do with it.

WOW WaltDisneyWorld DisneyStudios a favourite ride of millions of kids!!

Now I want to watch it to see what all the fuzz is about. 😅

Disney is free to do whatever they want with every single piece of their businesses.

DontLookUp

But drag Queen shows for kids is somehow ok and totally normal besides a song that nothing to do with racism,

All of American history is racist

This is why they're losing money. 🤣😂 Go woke. Go broke.

Geez. Is that all you talk about?

Ok if it’s true and it offends take it down. No biggie

Now we can listen to music where we hear people called N words every other word Progr3ss

Disneyland is the world’s biggest rip off anyway

My o my what a wonderful day!. Stop! Plenty of sunshine coming my way! Stop. Time to eliminate everything, reset pretend nothing ever happened. Give your head a shake. The song wasn't a problem it's the people.

Good lord. Disney needs to be sold to non-freaks

I’m really surprised that the Woke haven’t had a beef with the White House being called ‘The White House’ isn’t that racist? 😂

From the happiest place on earth to the wokeist place on earth. Boring.

Disney cant seem to be Leftist enough for the leftists ... Fun to watch it continue to bend until it breaks....

Plenty of sunshine headed my way…

Producers of the new 'Peter PanSexual' woke movie remake are worried about their old movies...

Uncle Remus and a cute rabbit oh my

The insanity won’t stop. Half the country has gone completely mad.

Is CNN mocking this or admiring it. To be honest if that if that's the level of nitpicking we are up to then racism is almost solved 👏

I am pretty sure that no slave ever sang Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, just like nobody in the South sang Na, Na Na Na Na Na, when they lost the war. Y'all need to grow the hell up.

Pc virtue signalling at its finest

Thinking about the millions and millions of people that went to Disney year after year and heard that song and absolutely didn’t care. Imagine what would have happened if they never mentioned it at all - nothing , nothing would have happened.

Stop please

Leave shyt alone!

And now the healing can finally begin.

I think rocks and rain fall can be racist at this point. Seriously, is there anything out there that is not racist? Other than black people, obviously. Because they could never be racist.

Unnecessary pandering be like

Disney is a privately owned business, and can choose whatever music it likes to play. It can also choose not to play certain music. If you don't like it, don't go to Disneyland.

Hmm I wonder who is behind these changes...😒 Are they going to start changing things if something offends white people? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Big business needs to stop being afraid of social media posts and the bots that pretend they call it offensive come on now. DisneyStudios .

There goes Disney then.

Oh, ffs!

The liberal world is just absolutely ridiculous. Fine by me though if Disney keeps doing ridiculous sh!t - I enjoy watching them emplode.

The word “racist” used to be a powerful word that actually means something.

More content about the origins of the lyrics based on Zip Coon.

For content and to clarify the silly white folks up in arms against these lyrics come from the racist song Zip Coon, which glorifies slavery as a choice that black citizens were happy to be. It’s racist and always was.

Just close

Thank you DisneyParks for continuing to be inclusive!

🤪👍🤦‍♂️

I went to Disneyland can I have my money back

Zip a Dee is racist. ?

The pussification of America continues

liberals, Democrats and CNN making everything about race and gender.

Great to see racism is cured. They found the problem. 5 words in a street parade

It happened on one of those zip-a-dee-doo-dah days

Go woke Go broke

All the white noise machines have also been removed from the luxury suites at the hotel. Just in case.

🤣

How pathetic. What the hell is this world coming to. It’s time people thought more about the future and not the past.

Ohhhhh ffs DisneyLand! Disney

WTF this is beyond now….

boycott woke companies

Fake boycottDisney These were folk tales from Africa. Removing them IS disgusting and you are erasing history!

If they are going back that far . . . Well Biden was opposed to desegregation and dems sided with slave owners, resisted giving reparations the first time we did that, but that's ok?

Fk Disney I’m selling the rest of my stock and timeshare

How soon they ban using black and brown paint in line with anti racism rhetoric?

We're there any black dwarfs?

Wokeness...

Everything is racist for those sad bored simps that are looking for it.

My child's school has a blackboard and is covered in white chalk. I find this most offensive and racially criminal but will the school act, no it won't. I want the word black removed from the OED and replaced with, erm, I don't know I haven't thought this through properly yet.

Omg this is truly getting sickening. Get over yourselves will ya.. I mean of things offend you this bad just stay hoke lock yourself inside

The wokeness will eventually destroy something that was once great.

Disney going down

Yikes

Next on the chopping block…Snow White, unless….she/her/they, whatever, joins the alphabet club.

‘Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped’… 1984

'Criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans' is a rally tame way to talk about a movie that is so over the top with racism it will make you hate Disney forever.

Go woke go broke. Hasn't sunk at Disney yet.

Oh well

Lame

“My oh my what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine heading my way.” That’s just so offensive…..

Song of the South? That's a wonderful movie. We all grew up with Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit.

🤦🏻‍♂️

I know you want us all to hate Black people, but we really just hate news networks like CNN (who are simply fear mongers & war mongers for the elite profiteers)

🤦‍♀️

Americans are so woke, they will have destroyed their once great nation in no time 😂

Desantis needs to increase Disney tax rate!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay My, oh my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine headin' my way Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

.... zip a dee do fucking da. So making random noises from a movie no one fucking remembers is now racist

Pathetic

Snowflakes

It’s NOT ok to show that period of time when black peoples were slaves. Too controversial

That’s why no one wants to go to Disney anymore. They can turn a song about having a wonderful day into a song about racism. They care more about wokeness than they do about bringing sunshine our way. Happiest place on earth, my ass.

Racism solved...jfc

Seems like an overreaction.

This is getting ridiculous.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Disney needs a good flush out.

Boo

I make sure to play this every day to my kids. Gotta keep the racism alive by watching a nice old man sing with cartoon characters.

And just like that, racism never happened.

My oh my what a depressing day. Not everything I about race you know.

😂😂😂🤡

We used to celebrate black people until they told us we couldn't.

Oh hell no, God forbid somebody gets offended. But the perpetually offended will find something else to bitch about, they always do.

'Racism is not dead, but it is on life support -- kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists'' ~ Thomas Sowell CNN sucks

If they truly cared, they would “cancel” themselves. But seeing that they only do these things for money…is it really worth “celebrating”?

When a group of people for all the kindness and right itself becomes a destructive and evil force

What a joke

So the black birds were the offensive part of the movie? Just trying to remember the movie...

Disney is a flesh eating virus. It literally eating itself. Your time to shine six flags!! Expand and do exactly opposite of Disney

Apparently the new lyrics will be 'snow-a-flakes'

🤡 honk

Disney was a far greater company and made much better movies when it was 'racist'

Does it ever occur to these news stations that most of us aren't racist? I'm so sorry of the divide between us as people.. please just stop the madness and let's attack the ones who are controlling it. I do not cry at all, funerals etc. but this division has me shedding tears man

Good thing I quit Disney years ago.

Academy Award winning Song.

Lmao. Who decides these things?

They are going woke and Broke….

De Santis is gonna make them put it back.

Also see: NOBODY CARES!

jesus.

Breaking : black folks had nothing to do with this decision but will subsequently end up blamed for it. SMDH

Racism: solved.

I suspect most people who think “Song of the South” is racist have never seen it. It portrayed the post Civi War South. It wasn’t an enlightened period. But the movie doesn’t glorify it or apologize for it. It just portrays it.

Woke progressivism is such a bummer am I right?

How are you still a news network? How is Disney still a thing?

It’s only controversial to sensitive America. Padussies

Pussy boys offended by a zipadeedoodah

More left wing BULLSHIT.

We have become so soft as a nation

How long until DeSantis makes them put it back?

Disney can identify race undertones in a children’s song but can’t identify their own endorsements of child abuse, grooming and genital mutilation

Generation Im Offended in Full Effect 😂😂

I urge all…do not give $1 to Disney in any way. This starts with boycotting ABC and ESPN…all Disney properties. It is time to bring this madness to an end.

And replaced it with a song from a movie with racist depictions of native Americans…. Makes sense to me!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! We will boycott Disney. Your shares is going south where they belong.

BOYCOTT DISNEY.

FFS🙄

CNN are you going to take accountability for saying lab leak was a conspiracy theory?

Sigh 😔

Why do they to politicised or make it into racism when its just a song or music. Stop politicising everything!

Ridiculous

accordingtokeri Clinton News Network wanted this - divide and conquer- it’s destroying our country

The song isn’t racist. It’s a good tune.
