The truth hurts I GUESS!! 🤣😜😂

Bow down to Winnie the Pooh and put money over people again Disney sucks.

The slaughter of Muslim Uighurs, organ harvesting, child slave labor, happening in China. The Media won't report the truth. $$$$$$$ controlled by China BoycottDisney

The truth hurts. China is well known for child slave labor.

We are declaring July as White History Month. Our colors are Red White And Blue. We will throw parties and all are invited to attend. Leave your egos, politics and racism at the door. We celebrate GOD our Country our People & our Democracy. Our National call is for Unity of all.

Just about like the cancelling of Gone With The Wind. People can't be burdened with 'hurt feelings' these days, real or imagined, unless said feelings are cause for police settlements, extortion, reparations and excuse for racist resentments, scofflawing and criminal violence.

Disney is a Chinese puppet anyway. Canceling disney+ Disney is way too woke..

Can you say gay in Hong Kong ?
