YouTube Racism- oh sorry, PREJUDICE Wank
This wank is a little stale, but still, WTF. Youtube user DavidElGnome posts "Racist Cartoon #2" on YouTube (the link goes directly to the comments). The actual title is "Scrub Me Mama With a Boogie Beat." If that isn't subtext, I don't know what is. The cartoon is a 40's(I'm guessing here based on fashion- it could be a recoloring of an earlier cartoon)Universal Studios production and is full of offensive racial inaccurate stereotypes of African-Americans that existed at that time. Trust me, the roomie and I just kept repeating "this is so wrong" while watching it during my nightly random link hopping.

The comments begin and only five comments in, and things get wanky DaBiggestAsshole (87 year old inhabitant of Christmas Island and not very entertaining troll(he only makes one post!)) posts "Finally, a realistic potrayal of the lives of black people." This stirs a small thread of "fuck yourself" responses, the most unintelligble of which is fukin idiot if we are so lazy why the fuc did you bring us here to do your work for you dum fuc educate yourself you white hook nose, skinny lip bastard" by Gopro09.

The wank continues down thread namely from people being offended and people actually claiming its true. As well as a poster invoking President Washington. Here are some of the more wanky exchanges:


DutchMastaKila: There is nothing 'racist' about this cartoon. Dont confuse the word "racist" with "predjudice". The sociology of racism tells us that to be "racist' requires that you have the monetary, military or political POWER to control a particular race of people. For instance, the US Government is racist. Or if Im in a position of POWER, like a hiring manager and I only hire Black people, that would be a racist act on my part.


DavidElGnome: Ok smart guy. According to your definition you must be in power. Well this cartoon was produced by people who had the POWER to control the media and what is shown on it. This was produced as a childrens cartoon and on young developmental minds creates PREJUDICE which grows into RACISM when this children grow up and hold this PREJUDICES and act on them.

DutchMastaKila:This cartoon and others like it are very prejudiced based on preconceived opinions or feelings of some very ignorant people. To be honest, this joint right here would have pissed me off if I lived had back in those days and the first white person I saw would have caught a beatdown. But I look at this now and I think its kind of humerous.


rmeddy1: this is not particularly racist because of the girl from harlem who is also black probably mixed race is drawn beautifully unlike the poor country blacks


moir: fuck all of u ur all racists and all ur not even americans. red indians r american not the big white man that came from europe and settled IN a america use are all ignorant fools

iSmellaRat: Sort your grammar out before accusing people of anything you thick c**t.

Simba4ever84: Hey, moir, get your facts straight. The red indians are not "natives" to this country. The first people in N. America came here from Asia. So, they belong here about as much as we do. So, before you get your panties in a ruffle, read a fucking history book.</b>

Btw, this video is hilarious!




JamRockProductions: this video is racist, if you say it is not then i am perplexed by your idiocy. i tink we should make a cartoon with skinny lipped lazy ass rednecks with huge mullets in a trailer park. listen up you limped dick faggots, its time for a history lesson, guess where the theoretical cradle of life is? Africa, thats right the oldest geological and biological information is found there.


Victoriangentleman: Jamrock , get off your belated piss-boring tired pedastal there for a second would you ? Times were way different then , way before your time . The cradle may of well started in Africa , so ? All that means is you are several thousand years behind us . When the horrible " Whites "
invented steam combustion and other major Scientific breakthroughs you and your people were chasing Zebras and climbing up trees to hide from lions or warring tribes.


Victoriangentleman is another troll. His userinfo says that he is 104.

Victoriangentleman: Jamrock . Try learning some pedantic skills , and stop talking like a Bad Ass Muthafucka ! You fucking dick head . You seek to insult those with thin lips ? Some of us may prefer that . Some may even say that having big lips and a surly aggressive attitude like yourself may be a hindrance when trying to get along . So get yourself a gun , slap some bitches around and fuck off if you can't behave , have done with it .

JamRockProductions: you know what i gotta apologize for that that was out of order i was just really troubled by some of the commentsi know it was made in a different time, but at the same time, you shouldnt have people from today's modern society sayin its not racist cuz it is....grab myself a gun? ok there buddy, i am an educated black person, how bout you go grab yourself a hunting rifle and go molest children...see how stereotypes work? its a never ending cycle

I can vaugly recall watching a couple of them when I was a kid.

Would Cletus from "The Simpsons" qualify as a sterotypical portrayal of a redneck? Or would he be a hick?

Yeah, the Hatfields and the McCoys would definately fit that bill as would Porky Pigs lazy bear neighbor from some of the early Porky pig cartoons. err.. Unless you think the bear is a 'black' bear. Then you might want to toss that example and go for the family of Lazy Vultures that are from the same era. Those are *definately* based on rednecks.

*Looks around shiftily*
What? Doesn't anyone but me scour the dollar DVD bin looking for really old cartoons? There are some real doozy's out there.

Also, see MGM/Tex Avery's "Red Hot Riding Hood," where one of the objects of desire is a hillbilly chick with buck teeth and huge bare feet who drawls and says "howdy" a lot.

Generally, *all* the studios had their turns with offensive stereotypes of everybody in their cartoons. Most of the cartoons had some element of satire, and they reflected back the stereotypes of the times. The racial ones are the most appalling to our sensibilities, but they weren't the only ones by any means.

(I hope the people involved in this wank never see Warner Bros/Bob Clampett's "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves"--they'll have aneurysms.)

The song was a hit back in the early '40s before it became a cartoon. There are worse cartoons they could be wanking over. Not to say this one certainly isn't cringe-worthy.

For the people who say that what if they made cartoons that made whites look like rednecks should really watch more cartoons. With very few exceptions, it was the anthropomorphized animals that were portrayed as the clever ones, and all the human characters were idiots of one stripe or another. And the massive amounts of WB cartoons with the big-footed, long-bearded hillbilly characters should comfort them some.

Besides, it was a time when portraying black people positively was not something you could actually do, without some serious repercussions. Also, in both of those Racist Cartoons, the black folk were horribly stereotyped, true, but they were not shown to be stupid, and the lazytown thing would not have been offensive if it were populated by white people. /wank before it gets really messy

A personal peeve:

Cartoons of that time were not produced for children. They were made for a general audience. Everybody went to the movies together in those days, and cartoons were as much for adults as for children. Cartoons started getting pitched at children when the studios started selling off their cartoon archives as cheap filler for the new medium of TV; while I haven't fully identified how the demographic shift happened, cartoons have most definitely NOT always been considered a "kiddie" medium. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of the medium that way too many people have.


...sorry, anybody got a towel?
