Quote: No way any black editor would let that cartoon fly
How dare you speak for all black people? I'm sure there is at least one black editor out there who is not an insecure, humorless wimp.
No, you're right. Its wrong of me to lump us all together. I should say, then, that any black editor who would allow this to hit the press on his watch should be ashamed of himself.
It's not really about insecurity. It's about dignity and respect for your people. It's okay to occasionally poke fun at your people if society overwhelmingly holds more POSITIVE images and sentiments about your race (as it is for Whites and Asians). But when negative stereotypes about your people are the RULE and not the exception, then it should give you pause. You don't pile on when your people have been beat down. You lift them up.
