And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/premier-gladys-berejiklian-shut-down-defqon1/

quote:

In an unprecedented statement, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has vowed to shut down the “unsafe” dance music festival Defqon1 following the deaths of two punters overnight.
Addressing the media, Gladys Berejiklian said:
“I never want to see this event held in Sydney or New South Wales ever again – we will do everything we can to shut this down … I don’t want to see this ever happen again – young lives lost for no reason. I understand there were some deaths in the past, but to have at least two on one night when every assurance was given to those attending that it was a safe event – clearly it wasn’t when so many people have succumbed.”
There have been calls for pill testing as a possible means of protecting punters at festivals, but the Premier rejected this notion, saying:
“Anyone who advocates pill-testing is giving the green light to drugs. There is no such thing as a safe drug and unfortunately when young people think there is, it has tragic consequences,”
Pill testing will not work but banning music will

WaPo had an article on the very subject

quote:

“It’s not hard to caricature a black person. Just don’t do it like they did it 100 years ago,” says Bell, an RFK Award-winning cartoonist.

“If you’re tempted to make their lips look like airbags, or to make their nose take up half their faces, you’re being lazy. Especially when, as in the case of Serena, her lips and her nose aren’t especially large.

“. . . Caricature always exaggerates features that stand out. But that doesn’t mean ‘features that stand out when compared to white people.’ If you look at Serena and you’re inclined to exaggerate her nose and her lips, odds are that is why they stand out to you. And if you’re not purposely trying to tap into those 100-year-old stereotypes, then as a professional, you’re supposed to be aware of that impulse and put it in check. I go through that thought process when I draw anyone.

If you google image search "Serena Williams caricature" you'll find some that are obviously her.

I still have no idea how Knight is still employed, because he's completely useless at the one thing he's employed to do. I mean you can still kinda-sorta work out who he's drawing most of the time, but surely there's better folks out there?

I do actually think that there will come a time when there is a legitimate discussion to be had about how to caricature black people. Hopefully more people of colour will be entering politics. When they are on the left it can be safely assumed that the insulting caricatures come from racists, since the right is pretty consistently racist. But there are going to be more Ben Carsons and David Clarkes. There will be someone who is the political version of Diamond and Silk, a black person deliberately elevated by the right because they support their causes while being black. The examples in that article were all caricature depictions sympathetic to and in favour of the person being depicted, the intention is to make them look good. There will be a need to draw negative caricatures, like caveman/monkey Abbott or potato Dutton. It's going to take political cartoonists with skill to not gently caress this up, and even then it will be easy for anyone who wants to shut a cartoon down to level racism accusations at it even if it isn't sambo style.

That being said the people having that conversation right now are not the people I want to be associated with.

Age care sucks because it has been open to the free market for a long time and is dominated by for profit multinational companies and religious not-for-profits with dodgy corporate cultures and suspiciously well furnished offices in prime locations. Disability support is much better, but the NDIS trojan horsed free market ideology into policy under the guise of it being person centered by virtue of enabling choice. It is only a matter of time before that quality is eroded away.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Sorry to keep harping on the racist cartoon:

But in saying "there is no way to caricature black people without it looking racist", is to me akin to saying "all black people look alike."

Because look at the 10,000,000 white people in the public eye that have been caricatured, each one still looked vaguely like them, and distinct from the 9,999,999 others.

Mark Knight wasn't drawing a caricature of Serena Williams, he was doing a caricature of a black person. Because rather than caricature the person themselves, or their particular features, he caricatured their race.

Which is bad and racist.
