Who is listening to this Cartoon Logic ?
Controversy,,
is jealousy the motive or just plain ignorance ?
Aaron McGruder - the creator and cartoonist of The Boondock cartoon series, has made a statement regarding President Obamas’ Blackness.
During a recent speaking engagement in Indiana at Earlham College, McGruder expressed his opinion about President Obamas’ Blackness. He Said that President Obama is not Black Enough because he doesn’t see any relation to Slavery in his heritage. What ?
he also said that Michelle Obama is the only Authentic Soul Sista in the Whitehouse.
this is disappointing to say the least, but not unexpected from the person who brought us Stinkmeister..
Aaron, This is Who You Are - So Stop the Nonsense.
You are not Ricky Kittles; and you certainly don’t make any one proud with this type of portrayal of Black Folks as Morphing Idiots. Maybe Aaron was really expressing the feelings of repressed hostility inside himself. he does it alot in his cartoons, which is what makes them so hillarious. this time however, it’s not funny.
