“Racist” cartoon drawn of Serena Williams

[Djgb13 2,338]

Looks fine to me. Only reason people are saying its racist is because shes actually drawn to be black

You ever dance with a shemale in the pale moonlight?

It's called a caricature. We used to pay money to have people at the county fair draw them of us. Nothing racist about it. People are focking stupid.

Yeah, but you shouldn't use the word black , or pretend anyone is black. Assuming a black person is black, is racist.

All current words for "black" or "retarded" .... whatever those words are, will eventually be assumed to be negative.

Black was okay 20 years ago. But it isn't now.

 

What's the word now that is acceptable? Anyone know?

What is most disturbing is the fact that the 4am talking points went out and the propaganda blogs once again put out the exact same talking points.

Anyone who thinks our press is honest and fair is a focking idiot.

Exactly

[Hardcore troubadour 12,563]

I love it. Everytime a ridiculous claim of racism is thrown out there a few more people get fed up and switch sides. Keep it coming!

She's an ugly, disgusting, wildebeest and that's what he drew. What's the problem? Dude hit it out of the park.

She makes 'Precious' look like Halle Berry.

If jim carrey did this of any republican. Black or white. It would be hailed as a work of art.

Not by me.

 

Not just the internet talking. I'm bitterly surprised and disappointed that Robin Williams killed himself and Jim Carrey didn't.

same. Or the fact that chris cornell kills himself but post malone escapes death monthly

[Voltaire 4,550]

I don't think cartoonists should be allowed to draw minorities, especially black people, and I'm surprised they've been allowed to get away with it for this long.

Are they upset because of her small vertical jump?

I can see there being a problem with that low vertical. That's gotta be it.

[tanatastic 2,061]

This guy was clueless if he thought this would go over well.

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Outlaw brown markers!!

[Big Guy 1,400]

Crap like this is how we know the PC crowd are obviously lunatics.

 

There's absolutely NOTHING racist about it!

[OldMaid 1,838]

Unflattering... yes, but not racist. Unless there’s a part of the story that I’m missing...

Naomi Osaka does look awfully white with that blonde hair.

Agree, but is the cartoon of Serena really that far off?

I was too busy being outraged and horrified over racism that Osaka looked white that I wasn't paying attention but in looking at it again, Serena does seem like an accurate depiction.

All 3 are far off and it would have been funny if he had not changed them to white people and made a racist caricature of Serena. Very similar to the racist depiction of Michelle Obama on the New Yorker cover.

HOW is it racist though? Shes black (as she is in real life) and shes big (as she is in real life) so how is it racist?

you are full of shitt

[peenie 1,690]

Let me know when you want me to break it down to you.

how full of shitt you are? Thats ok. Everyone on this board knows how full of it you are. No need for an in depth breakdown of the racial ghosts you see everywhere.

[vuduchile 1,940]

Im no Serena fan, and I think her behavior in the US Open was a pitiful.

 

But you guys are kidding yourselves if you dont think the caricature of Serena has a racist slant.

 

On the other hand, his depiction of Osaka is completely devoid of slant.

[kilroy69 993]

What would you have the slant be for osaka? That she is was the bigger player and took serena being a pos in stride? How do you draw that?

I would likely go back to my original thought which is, it really doesn't matter how he represents her, when you are looking for and want it to be there, you will find it. His mistake was attempting to draw her at all
