Casper Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/09/mexican.comic/index.html So, the comic book character is a Cuban-Mexican kid who looks like a monkey. He helps his mom around the house doing chores and makes money delivering newspapers. And blacks are upset??? What the hell??? The character is Cuban-Mexican!!!! It isn't portraying blacks in any way, shape, or form. How in the hell can you call it racist!? http://archimedes.galilei.com/stlcofcc/blogimages/president-bush-scratch-head.jpg PS: The picture of the character in that article reminded me of Super Troopers.... http://www.likwid-kaneo.com/storage/random_pictures/funny/myspace/johnny_chimpo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 For once I agree with the Mexicans. How far is the race card going to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTurbo Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The article lost all credibility about racism once I read Al Sharpton was interviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 So this lady is mad because she thinks a cartoon monkey looks like black people? This shit really pisses me off. She is so against racism and stereotypes but with her actions she is saying that a)black people all look the same, b)black people look like monkeys, c)black people and mexicans all look the same. And yea, one complaint and walmart pulls them...ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conesmasher Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think there are definitely some understanding for the racial undertones of this. I do think that people may be over-reacting, but you've got to understand where people are coming from When I see this peguin dude, I immediately think about Blackface characters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface Which could directly be related to a Minstrel show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel_show Or at least people can think that way. It's symbolism. I mean what if someone made a one off of a schwatstika and then tried to sell it as a childrens novel and people weren't outraged.....I'd be amazed. I'm not saying I agree.....but I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have enough asults to put you in jail for longer than Jeffery Dahmer before you even made it into the store... but you would be given some medals before you went to jail.
