CC: Look at how racist and inaccurate this photo it. Just look. It’s absolutely mesmerizing, how completely disgusting it is.

Now let’s get to work.

1. The little Black girl on the left would most likely choose a white doll. This study was actually carried out already and proved the self-hatred and sense of inferiority young Black children internalize because of the barrage of supremacist images/messages given to them on a regular basis. We live in a culture where “white” is the standard of beauty, the norm, the ultimately acceptable. “Black” is presented as the racial opposite of white and is therefore the opposite of everything white is: the opposite of “beauty”, “intelligence”, “success”, “health”, “goodness”, “purity”, etc. The likelihood that a Black child, already exposed to so much subliminal anti-Blackness, would choose a Black doll is unfortunately small.

2. I can see that this cartoon is meant to be a metaphor for “white pride” and “Black pride”. It was disgustingly carried out and the artist should be extremely ashamed. White and Black are NOT equivalent to one another. They are not on the same platform and are not easily interchanged in the manner displayed here. There is a systematic oppression continuously being perpetrated against Black people by white people. “White pride” is not something that should be expressed or celebrated because WHITENESS has committed extreme atrocities on a global scale and CONTINUES to do so. “White pride” is a phrase that glorifies the subjugation, rape, displacement, genocide/murder, demonization and oppression of people of color. It celebrates the wicked “triumph” over people of color by white people. It should not be something that any white person would want to commemorate.

Furthermore, as a result of slavery and global displacement, many Black people cannot trace their roots back to which African country they’ve come from (without paying large sums of money). White people have purposefully destroyed important records that would’ve allowed Black people to identify their origins and celebrate their ethnicity so “Black” has more meaning than “white”. It serves to fill a gap which many displaced Black people have had to deal with, whereas a white person could most likely trace their heritage back to a specific country and culture.

No one is saying that it’s wrong to have Irish pride or Russian pride or Swiss pride. But “white pride” is racism in and of itself.

3. LOOK AT THE WAY THE BLACK GIRL IS DRAWN, AS WELL AS THE WAY THE BLACK DOLLS ARE DRAWN.

IF YOU DON’T SEE HOW EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC THAT IS, GOD HELP YOUR SORRY ASS.

The Black girl and the Black dolls are drawn as disgusting caricatures and stereotypes of Black people. It is very reminiscent of the racist caricatures presented in cartoons and media mere decades ago.

This is completely unacceptable.

This entire cartoon is completely unacceptable.

WHAT THE FUCK AT THE PICKANINNY DEPICTION OF A BLACK CHILD

The word hits him like a saltine underhand-tossed into a lake of whole milk. He feels nothing inside. He does not suddenly call to mind the centuries of injustice and cruelty people like him have suffered, because people like him have not suffered centuries of injustice and cruelty. He does not feel threatened, or like violence will be perpetrated upon him (anymore than he usually does when near a black man). He is not given an instant reminder of how the system in place today works—sometimes tacitly but often openly—against him, because the system works for him. He is so pretend-offended that he uses this instance as an excuse to hold on to his atrocious beliefs for the rest of his life.

People need to get the fuck on with life.

Call me a cracker and I’ll call you a faggot. Because I’m not worried about offending black people because they’re black. Some of them are faggots.

I mean fag like fag, not gay person.

Thanks for reading!
