Cartoons consisting of racial undertones aimed at African-Americans are nothing new. The last attempt that made prominent news throughout the media was one published by the New York Post back in February. It depicted the police shooting dead Travis the Chimp then them saying, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.” This blatantly insensitive satire manifests the historic attack of African-Americans – specifically our President, Barack Obama – being synonymous with monkeys. Of course, there were "people" who urgently defended this monstrosity as innocently portraying current politics without any harmful intention. Consequently, it only further insults African-American critics’ intelligence and is simultaneously laughable. How many imbeciles do they really think they’ll truly beguile with such uttered swill? However, when cartoons are very apparent with their racism it only makes them more easily forgettable for their ignorance while others are tactfully less egregious. Disney’s upcoming 2009 American animated family feature film, The Princess and the Frog, is a little more subliminal with its approach.
Good evening, family. I hope you are all doing something positive with your weekend. For the past week, I have been engaged in some of the most engaging conversations with highly intelligent and highly motivated individuals that I have ever come across. (shout to my brothers @iluvblackwomen and @GoodFathersOnly and everyone that listened to "DaddyTalk" this past Wednesday). I'm of the perception that black people DON'T WANT to change. The question I keep asking myself is ,"Why not?" Is it because we have been so inundated with negative imagery that its all we know? Is it that we have just accepted our circumstances and decided that's all we will ever be? or are we just TIRED? We are all to blame. (Yes, I said it) You see, there was a time in black history that we believed in the family.
