Is depiction of black people in children's media an ok topic? I mean, besides that being the gooniest goddamn question imaginable.

Koalas March posted:shoot. The show Steven Universe has black UK singer Estelle as a main character, and although the character she voices, Garnet, isn't literally a black woman, you'd have to be a moron to say she isn't coded as such. She's generally portrayed as cool, confident, and as an emotional and intellectual rock for the other characters to cling to and bounce off of. Me and my wife don't have kids, yet, but all our nieces and nephews of the appropriate ages love it. And the show is better than some about not having a white-dominated cast. I'm just curious what people of this thread think of it, if it's on their radar at all. Although with one goddaughter huge in Doc McStuffins, I'm glad to see it gets a pass. E: poo poo, "gets a pass" makes this sound like a white guilt thing, which I swear it wasn't meant to be. Who What Now fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Nov 8, 2016 |

Hopefully minorities will rise up to justifiably and violently overthrow whitey soon. And when they do all I ask is to be the first against the wall so that I don't have to live on this shithole planet any more.

I just wanted to say that arguing against the assholes in USPol trying to say racism had nothing to do with why Trump won is aggravating and exhausting. I can't imagine having to deal with it every single day of your lives whether you wanted to or not.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I'm so glad you're realizing it, and I want to repeat what I've said: Anybody interested in coming around on this stuff, I welcome you and I will help you. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Come together, it's the only way we'll survive. I've had a similar experience to Panfilo because of this and the Misogynoir thread as well. I just didn't want to say so because I know this thread isn't for me and I want to keep my post count here to a minimum (and doing a pretty poor job of it). But I want to echo that yes, these threads are doing good and teaching people about things they sorely need to be taught.

teen witch posted:And frankly, I'm learning a bit as well. As hard as you think it may be to "ask a POC," the opposite is nearly nonexistent, lest we summon the label of "uppity." I have no doubt. I've always "known" that any hardship I face is at least five times worse for PoC, but seeing first hand accounts coming from people in a community I'm part of is doing a lot to drive that home for me.

K Prime posted:Your second post was telling someone who gave you a gentle warning to shut the gently caress up and claiming your behavior was their fault. To be fair the entire and only reason he posted here is because he heard I did and he has a weird grudge against me. So it partly is my fault.

Talmonis posted:That is the dumbest goddamn comment. I don't entirely see the need for a "black netflix" (as opposed to demanding better curated sections in Netflix, Hulu & Amazon), but sweet Jesus does "white netflix" sound like the most pointlessly racist thing. Like always when people ask for a "white history month" or "White Entertainment Television" the answer is always that we already have it, it's just the default. Netflix is White Netflix.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:I have every DVD set of Fresh Prince and now I feel a strong urge to watch it again after I finish Revolution (aka: Crackers in the Apocalypse part 12). The only POC is a duplicitous bad guy with anger problems who disowns his son for not wanting to be a wanton murderer. Because of course. Has there ever been a positive depiction of black people in a post-apocalypse scenario? Now I'm kinda genuinely curious because I'd watch/read the poo poo out of that. Possibly Michonne in The Walking Dead?

BRJohnson posted:If I take out the last part of my previous post, will you guys respond to the rest of it? I'm not trying to start a big argument in this thread I've never posted in before, and I can just, ya know, leave... but I'd like to hear what people have to say about my post and the two preceding it. Your post was nothing but a tone argument and tone arguments are horseshit. Everything HCC and Maluco said were completely accurate and they shouldn't have to keep quiet about it in order to protect your feelings.

veni veni veni posted:He was referring to the tone of people in a discussion thread, some of whom seem to be incredibly combative. How is tone not relevant in having a discussion? Can you quote anything that you feel is "combative" that also isn't 100% true? Because nobody here is under any obligation to sugar coat things to protect your feelings, and I say this as a dude who is as white as the freshly driven snow. If what's being said makes you feel guilty or attacked then that's not a problem with what's being said, that's a problem with you and you need to examine your own life and views to understand why you feel like that.

Neurolimal posted:Trump is an Everyone problem, and his rise was not due to an imagined wave of racists (at the least, more racists than reps have ever had). Yes, actually, it was. Tons of white people decided that they didn't care about the lives of minorities and their apathy is what allowed Trump to win. This is a fact.

Neurolimal posted:The problem is that empathy needs to be shown both ways, it's not fair, black americans deserve far more leeway, but ultimately most voters won't go out of their way to help someone unwilling to help them. We can blame them for having the privilege of voting for someone promising them jobs and a not-rotting middle america, or we can turn our ire towards those elites who could not lift the tiniest of fingers to include them in our group at no harm to any other groups. Why do minorities have to put aside to their concerns to help white people but whites get to freely vote to gently caress over minorities? You're right about one thing, you do enjoy the privileges of being white, and protecting those privileges seems to be your only concern.

That there do exist white allies with such microscopic-if-any exploitation of minorities or racism that focusing in any and all of their Quantum Privilege instead of the actual causes is, in all honesty and respect, ludicrous.

Neurolimal posted:I think the feeling is mutual between both social and fiscal leftists, and that if relations don't warm then I'm not sure if either will make any progress, let alone stop Trump from serving two terms. Fiscal leftists are welcome to make that happen, but somehow the best you guys ever come up with is "let's help white people first and then minorities right after, for realsies this time".

Neurolimal posted:The issue on the fiscal leftist side is that we're never given even a benefit of a doubt. It seems like from the very moment Hillary said that notorious "will breaking up the banks solve racism?" line that everything we say and suggest must be observed to the character. It's okay to prance people responsible for countless minority deaths on-stage during a convention, but any suggestion that the new leftists are more racially aware than those 60-80 years ago is heavily scrutinized. Is anything ever your fault, or do you always have a convenient excuse about why someone else is to blame for your shortcomings? Like do you have even a single failing you take ownership of?
