Disney to replace controversial Splash Mountain ride with an attraction for its first Black princess

The water ride had been themed to ‘Song of the South,’ a 1946 Disney movie filled with racist cliches about African Americans and plantation life.
A new attraction starring the first Black Disney princess is opening at the company’s U.S. theme park resorts, and some Disney followers see it as a fitting replacement to a former ride based on a movie that contained racist tropes.
