    "Picking up racist iconography from 100 years ago in order to attack a black woman still makes you racist, even if you think you're participating in the tradition of comics rather than in the tradition of racism," @nberlat saidhttps://nyti.ms/2N3Tfif

        Amos and Andy was just a television show. Birth of a Nation was just a movie. And, of course, Sambo’s Restaurants were just a nice place for the family to eat.

        The caricature style was reminiscent of “coon cartoons” during the heyday of minstrelsy. The cartoon subject was not race, but the iconographic heritage was straight out of popular images from 100 years ago.

        Sorry, but you are talking about iconographic heritage in a cartoon, I repeat, a CARTOON. We shoul be discussing if it is funny or not. That's pretty much it.

        I would argue that it is you who is the racist by highlighting and perpetuating perceived prejudices where there are none.

        So they made serena look less than a human and naomi look white but I'm highlighting prejudices. Nah dude I'm looking at what was already there and commenting on it. Evidently history is to be ignored for people's comfort.

        You looked at what was there and saw a black person and two white people. I looked at what was there, and saw three human beings. Who is the racist?

        You because again you are ignoring what you clearly see as the mockery they made of serena in terms of her appearance.

        Maybe his choice to distort her features—especially the mouth—warrants an honest appraisal. But be sure to over analyze the big nose he put on Carlos Ramos while your at it. It’s a cartoon; it’s supposed to be a caricature. Serena distorted her own features that day—see photos!!

        It's a blackface caricature. Cartooning has a long history of racist caricature, so saying, "it's a cartoon" misses the point. Often "just" being a cartoon has involved being racist.

        Just because the style has been used in the past in a racist way does not mean that the style is inherently racist. There has to be intent on the part of the author.

        You can be racist even without have the intent.

        No you can’t, the definition of racism is: “Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.” Without that “belief” it’s not racism.

        That’s right. Intentions mean EVERYTHING when it comes to accusing someone of being a racist. And we do it sooo loosely—just ready to put that tag on EVERYONE who does something questionable.
