Black Simpsons

So, I saw this on YBF and thought it was pretty interesting. Funny how most of my blog posts are inspired from something I saw on YBF or twitter......Anywho.......


I'm not sure how I feel about this ad. Some are saying it's kind of racist or stereotypical of them to make a black version of the Simpsons. I just don't understand why color has to identify everything. I know it has always been this way and probably always will but that doesn't make it any better.

Yeah the Simpsons is going to Angola now. So what? Would they not have enjoyed the show as much if the characters where still drawn as their original white selves? I'm black and live in a very black area, I know its not quite Angola but I am open-minded and mature enough to enjoy shows that star whites, blacks, puerto-ricans or haitians. Especially cartoons. I mean come on, my favorite cartoon character is yellow!

If anything I don't like the fact that in the white picture they have lamps on end tables next to the couch. Why the black ones gotta have speakers and a beer can? What the hell? Why? Maybe its just a coincidence, but for some weird reason, I doubt it!
