"Take what you can, give nothing back" was a phrase used when pulling a ship into a dock, meaning to pull in as much slack as you can and don't let it go. [1] It also seemed to be used as a "pirate toast" [2] or to wish luck or good will, generally when individuals parted ways or the object of the expression was facing some sort of imminent challenge. [3]

Besides, Hollywood has given us range of award-winning movies that portray World War II with historic complexity and the deep humanity of those who paid the cost of fascism. No billion-dollar earning Hollywood franchise would be defended in the name of entertainment if it depicted “good” Nazis and a sanitized version of the Holocaust, one that produced not only sequel after sequel but also popularized theme parks and Halloween costumes on Jewish suffering. White representations of non-white minorities in media deserve the same humanity and a basic ethical treatment.
Sparrow’s physical appearance combines traits from various “ethnic” peoples through his tan skin, kohled eyes and dreadlocks. Is he white? Is he a person of color? These questions intrigued us even more because the family ties of the series’s leading white characters–Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner, Dominic Scott as Henry Turner or Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth—often drive the plot in the series. here
Through his ambiguous identity and political allegiance, Jack Sparrow—captain of the Black Pearl, manned by a “crew of the damned”—thus speaks for people and histories of color without engaging with them in any real way. Pirates repeats and normalizes a staggering history of white oppression while sanitizing it of its dark side, a history that continues to have dire economic and political consequences across the globe.

What’s frustrating, yet sadly unsurprising, is that the series chooses a white actor to play the role of a racially ambiguous pirate who symbolizes freedom against Empire. And it does so while both setting the films historically in a time when millions of people of color were struggling for their freedom against white empires and releasing them in a moment when Hollywood and the publishing industry have been challenged as notoriously white.

With its latest sequel released in summer 2017, Pirates only reinforces the white supremacy now so routinely reflected in Trump’s words (endless Syrian refugees, Muslim terrorists, Mexicans criminals and job stealers, irrational North Koreans, and most recently, needy and expensive Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders).

This phrase describes the typical pirate lifestyle, and is repeated throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean films by Jack Sparrow. We combined elements from the attraction and the films to create a design for all fans of Pirates. At the top of the design is a vintage flourish with the Aztec gold medallion in the center from the first film. The years 1720 -1750 is the time period the films and story takes place. In the center sits the most famous pirate, Jack Sparrow. Just like at the end of the attraction, Jack is sitting in his chair, one leg over the armrest, holding onto his compass while enjoying a drink and his plentiful treasures. Right by his foot is the parrot that joined the crew of the Black Pearl. Also in the spotlight is the famous pirate Redd, holding her favorite rifle and the pirate’s drink of choice – Rum! Next we have Jack the Monkey, the troublemaking companion, hanging upside in his pirate gear. At the bottom we see the infamous prison dog who is holding the keys to unlock the prisoners in one of the most popular scenes. Rounded out by Jack’s beloved ship, the Black Pearl. The “K” in “Back” is formed using a pirate’s sword, and a pirate’s skull and crossbones flag flies next to it. [links]
