Banned Betty Boop cartoon (racism)

[Duddy]

YouTube

Skip to about 2:50. That has got to be some of the most racist crap I have ever scene. Especially for a cartoon.

Highlights:

-Cottonfield backdrop
-The pocky hair doo's
-Drawing them away with watermelon
-Huge lips


Indeed, 1935 America. Alot of McCain voters from that time. (that's a joke, I love you guys)

 

[mugs]

Subways don't work like that.

 

[OdiN]

How so?

I can't even understand what they are saying.

Or do you just mean the watermelon?

You missed the fact that they looked like monkeys. And your joke failed.

 

[aesthetics]

Eh, whatever.

that was pretty bad I went into it thinking that whatever I saw would probably be harmless, but that was pretty bad.

The piece's entire comic value comes from the devaluing of an entire race.

They looked like monkeys. That's much more offensive than watermelon. And your joke wasn't funny.

Everyone has their own sense of humor. Some people think that all McCain supporters are all old racist white people. Others think that Obama supporters are all black gangsters.

It's America, lighten up.

The comic value is perceived on my part. I do not actually find it funny as I don't subscribe to the watermelon stereotype but am quite aware of how prevalent that stereotype was in the past.

<--and anyways, his culture WIPES THE FLOOR when it comes to eating watermelon*



*= I just realized that I have inadvertently posted a really insulting statement.:Q I will keep it up but did not realize what I wrote until I read it a second time.

Is Geraldine Ferraro supporting McCain now?

Yeah that was pretty amazing how the cork went back in the barrel each time. I wonder how they pulled that off?

Hidy-Ho, Hidy-Ho LOL

Odd, I didn't see any black people in that cartoon. Perhaps the racism comes from the person watching?
