Prior to production of the Pirates sequel, Michael Polonio of the National Garifuna Council of Belize accused Disney of perpetuating an unjust myth that harms the Caribs and their descendents. Carib Chief Charles Williams criticized Disney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s producers and stated that, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our ancestors stood up against early European conquerors and because they stood up\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we were labeled savages and cannibals up to today.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Despite such objections to the script\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s racist portrayal of the indigenous people, Disney refused to make alterations. In response, Los Angeles area Garifuna leaders organized a protest outside of Disneyland for the film\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s premiere on June 24th. <\/p>\n<p>Watch a scene from the film here:<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CYuHgEVGl2Q\"><object width=\"250\" height=\"205\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/CYuHgEVGl2Q\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/CYuHgEVGl2Q\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"250\" height=\"205\"><\/embed><\/object><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The Garifuna American Heritage Foundation, United can be found<a href=\"http:\/\/www.garifunaheritagefoundation.org\/index.mhtml?pid=101034\"> here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUEST: Cheryl L.
