Is this a racist cartoon? I certainly don’t think so. A twitter user suggested that it was racist, but I countered with “What do you expect me to do, use the cast from Scooby Doo or Johnny Quest?”
If you consider this racist, please tell me why. The entire concept is a gang of similar-minded people that hangs out together. I loved “Fat Albert” when I was a kid, how is assigning current black politicians or celebrities to each character racist? This isn’t black-face, this isn’t a lynching photo, it has nothing to do with race at all, other than the fact that the cartoon characters are black.
[note: I could change some of the names since there are certainly more current characters I could add instead, such as Van Jones.]

Those who claim this is racial feel threatened by this cartoon because they have no esteem in their own race.
