The clip from "Southern Fried Rabbit" is taken WAY out of context. The point behind every Bugs cartoon was to make his foil look as stupid as possible. The gag hits when Bugs comes out as Lincoln and admonishes Sam. Is there no redemption there? But then again, there are those out there who will call white paint racist simply because it's white.

@Thescott16 ..and if blacks have been called "nigger" for over 4 centuries, don't be surprised and shocked when blacks take on that title, personally ...That is NOT, iniitally, our fault ..and blacks trying to turn something bad into something good is a coping mechanism of the persecuted ...Whether this is a good or bad thing to do, whites have NO RIGHT to question us on this, when they have embedded that word into our heads! ....And you ARE white - who the fuck you think you're foolin'? Not I!

[Lashid4u]

@Thescott16 Who the fuck is persecuting y'all asses? How the fuck have y'all been persecuted? Naw, y'all have been living and benefiting off of the blood, sweat and tears of MY ancestors - you benefit from that shit, today, although you wanna make us believe that it's just "all in the past" ...and then, you wanna talk about being "persecuted"! ...GTFOH! ...Shit, blacks are the most forgiving people on the planet, cuz you should be glad that we haven't ALL went Nat Turner on y'all asses!

[Thescott16]

@Lashid4u Black people have endured over 5 centuries of persecution, but that doesn't give them the right to persecute. You think you live in a tit-for-tat world and everything's fair? Wake up.

You want to know who's racist? Think of this: Who uses the "n" word most? Blacks. Who insists on being segregated by being call "AFRICAN American"? The Black community. Oh and here's another one: You've assumed I'm White. You think that I can't be Scottish AND Black?

Maybe you need to get over yourself.

@Tatsuya2014 Thank you. And regardless, that has nothing to do w/ this still being wrong ...I don't believe these cartoons should be cut up, nor censored, but don't try to justify this shit as being okay ..Whites have a straight hissy fit over Bernie Mac using observational humor (comparing blacks to whites), and always whining about reverse racism (if a black person just speaks against racism, they label 'em racist), yet, try to justify this shit as not being racist *rolleyes*

[Lashid4u]

@Thescott16 Maybe you need to get over yourself - white folks try to justify every damn thing they do ...and NO ONE whines more than white people, today, bitching over the so-called "reverse racism", as if they're going through so much persecution! LOL ...Blacks have endured nearly 5 centuries of utter brutality, hate and discrimination (which has left us scarred heavily until this day), yet, white folks can't handle Richard Pryor jokes of the past few decades! LOL ..What wusses!

[Lashid4u]

@motorboaturmum Oh NOW you're okay w/ referring to Egyptians as black, although whites, usually, don't wanna admit to this ...How convenient! lol ...and what the fuck does other people being enslaved hafta do w/ this shit being wrong? ..btw ....the original Hebrews more than likely did not resemble those you see today as Israelites (Joseph & Moses were mistaken as Egyptians)

What's the name of the Cab Calloway song in the beginning?

[Tatsuya2014]

I wish people would research their history and realize and recognize that colonial slavery and other types of slavery such as that institutionalized by the Romans are completely different. And the reason why we as black people still bitch is because we still feel the after affects of slavery. Feelings of inferiority, pressure to assimilate into white mainstream culture, self-hatred of our own skin color, etc. This is why people need to recognize that cartoons like are racial archetypes.

@stevencof Unless your family is fortunate enough to be entirely descended from Roman aristocracy, chances are that whatever ethnic group you claim has endured slavery at some point in History.
