Famous Black Child Stars|You Would Never Recognize Today!

[@atlysrayl]

One child actor who is doing great now, who should've been featured (instead of Joe Torry😂) is JASON WEAVER!...He was the singing voice of Simba in The original Lion King. They were going to pay him just a front-end lump sum, but his mother opted for him to get royalities and residuals for his role. He still cashing Lion King checks. 💯💯💯💯✊🏾✊🏾

Jason Weaver Did the singing for Lion King.

THANK YOU BECAUSE IM THINKING SOMEBODY IS LYING

@MrGodchild15 Either that or they are mistaken.

[@corilovetv2079]

No, it was definitely Jason Weaver

[@myappealinglife]

Yup Jonathan Tyler Thomas from Home Improvement did Simba speaking parts, and Jason did the singing. Jason Weaver should've definitely been on here from playing young Micheal Jackson in the Jackson's mini series, to Smart Guy, Atl , Lottery Ticket, and The Chi, just to name a few. He most definitely should have been on this one, hopefully we can get a series of these video, since there's so many others to mention in these videos.

It’s good to see Black Americans in a good light ❤

[@flameshoes8795]

Black isn’t a nationality nor is it a race. It’s a racist derogatory term / misnomer and people skin isn’t black it’s copper color brown and ppl around the world can share a skin tone yet that doesn’t make someone black and white.

[@flameshoes8795]

First, there exists no nation of 'Black Ameri- cans' nor is there a 'Black America' in any docu- mented record, the world over! Black Ameri- cans are what is referred to in Law as a 'misnomer', or collectively, misnomers. As you well know, grammatically, 'black' is an adjective and is not a proper noun. Socially and politi- cally, 'black' implies 'Civiliter Mortuus', which means Dead in the eyes of Law'. Black Ameri- can is not a Nationality nor is it a Nation; there- fore 'black' has no political interests nor powers in the Free National Constitution that was pre- pared for all Free National Beings. What is CIVILITER MORTUUS? Civilly dead; dead in the view of the law. The condition of one who has lost his civil rights and capacities, and is accounted dead in law. As you well know, grammatically, 'black' is an adjective and is not a proper noun. Socially and politically, 'black' implies 'Civiliter Mortuus', which means 'Dead in the eyes of Law. Historically, American Indians have faced various forms of reclassification, often due to colonial and governmental policies. During colonial times and into the 20th century, American Indians were sometimes reclassified as "Negro," "Colored," or "Black
