  • I agree with you ...

    I agree with you here, but the issue isn't the watermelon or the big lips. The issue is that the black children are depicted as these bumbling morons who can't get their performance right (hence the head bumping). This appeals to the stereotype that blacks are dumb, which most will say is untrue. The moronic applauding of the fat black mammie alludes to images of large slave nannies, which is offensive and based in racist ideology.

        1. Blacks' lips ARE bigger.
        2. Look at how they fix rheir babies'hair.
        3. Blacks still like watermelon and chicken Disproportionately to whites from the days of slavery. Just because it's a stereotype doesn't make it racist or untrue. Whites never complained about the movie White men Can't Jump.

          • How is this not ...

            How is this not racist?If you don't c it you're either ignorant or racist.Here r reasons so that u can learn & contemplate: 1. They had stereotypical "liver lips" which was a sign of ugliness shown by white ppl. 2. They all had twig like hair. No black ppl have twig-like hair. Just b cuz it isn't str8 & thin doesn't mean it's ugly.
            3. They were easily manipulated by watermelon. During slavery the fruit was common diet 4 black ppl because it was cheap & White ppl saw it as "pickaninny food"

                  Actually, the fact the black babies looked like that wasnt because the aritsts couldnt draw, if you look across all old cartoons that have "black" people, theyre specifically drawn like that. Over sized lips and very very dark skin. Theyre normally not saying anything too intelligent either. By the way... a million people can say "its not racist" if it offends just one out of that million, then yes. It IS racist. As you can see there is a controversy going on so that suggests.....?

(face palm) Gosh...she single handedly offended what 6 Nationalities in 6 minutes? I thought only Howard Stern & Barack Obama could manage that! Who'd have thought such a cute voiced pixie could do that? LOL
