First, it is HOW the ORIGINAL contract was written, that is not being talked about.
If one is contracted, to represent a figure, that is not the same as being directly hired by that company.
The descendants, origin not being mentioned, are of those that scream “reparations”, at every turn.
Now, what about those actresses in all the old black and white movies, that were is similar dressings to “Aunt Jemima”? We have not heard word one from their descendants, have we?
I will continue to purchase “Aunt jemima” products, for no other reason, than the proverbial thumb in the eye!
Presumably their origins are human and American. Disney/ABC makes millions or billions off intellectual property from eight decades back. It's hard to fault anybody who tries to pull off the same thing if they think they have a real case.
