$Family Guy\'s Cleveland Brown$

I don't watch Family Guy, so I probably won't watch the Cleveland Brown's spin off show. The fact that he's voiced by a white actor really doesn't help, Buy Mazindol Without Prescription. It really doesn't it. I don't care for the character design either so I hooked up his lips and ears. On with the Simpsons.

Does the lack of color on television cause any alarm or are you too busy watching cable and downloading movies for free.

Understanding that folks make a living acting and writing for television, do you think it's fair to simply fire and replace white writers and other television workers to increase balance in the television industry.

Is the complaining and "public outcry" getting tired, considering the alternatives and options.

Considering the job description, wouldn't you want a meaningful, fulfilling job like a "Diversity Representative?"

Here's a version of a character design that I'm working on. Did you ever have an image or thought in your head that was difficult to transfer to paper? The image just did not come out the way you imagined it would. That just means I need more continue doodling. Check out another version after the jump. Let me know what you think.

Here's a quote from the world of politics for those that are interested. A former John Edwards supporter said this while introducing Senator Clinton.

Some people compare one of the other candidates to John F. Kennedy. But he was assassinated.

Source: NYTIME Political Blog. This political tidbit was picked up by the Huffington Post, MSNBC and some other political bloggers. I would expect a snide remark from a shock jock, comedian or snarky blogger but I guess when people are involved in presidential campaigns, they say some real funky a** ish.

American Born Chinese

Published by Scratch on Thursday May 10, 2007 in Drawings. 6 Comments Tags: books, News and Social Stuff.

I picked up the book American Born Chinese because the artwork and style is clean and simple. As I read the book, I became more impressed with the writing. The story flows and entertains easily. This is one of my favorite books. The story may be from the Chinese American experience but it is a universal story. People in America and abroad struggle with their ethnic identities and social acceptance. One of the main characters, Jin Wang, main issue is simply trying to fit in. He sacrifices his identity to be more socially acceptable in his new environment. The story structure is pretty interesting. It basically connects three separate stories into one similar to the movie the Hours starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julian Moore. Without being preachy, the ABC story successfully drives its point.

The character design is wonderful. My favorite character is the Monkey King. I could have recreated the Monkey King in my own interpretation but I decided to simply make some minor alterations, like removing the red bandana and making the appearance more menacing.

Commentary:

You can see many examples in American culture of people transforming and disfiguring themselves for many different reasons. Folks from different ethnic backgrounds see beauty . . . well differently. Coming to America Salma Hayek was stunned that she is considered a sex symbol. She thought she was deformed because she's short and dark as opposed to tall, white, blonde with blue eyes. Other public figures like Tego Calderon and Michelle Maulkin expressed their experience being dark. While I think skin color is one of the major issues affecting social acceptance, self-esteem and identity the book also lightly touches on hair. There are many other characteristics that affect acceptance like weight, age, class, and behavior but I particularly like hair because it applies to the African-American identity, social politics, self-esteem and experience. Some people define how black a person is by their hair, which is pretty much ignorant. Admittedly I am only scratching the surface, the issue is far more complex. One surprising development is the increasing usage of lace front wigs made popular by Tyra Banks, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, Vivica Fox, and for good measure Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, etc. There are many reasons why actors, entertainers use lace front wigs like, convenience and career advancement. Some women in an effort to emulate celebrities are damaging their hair and scalp due to neglect and poor maintenance causing irreparable harm and loss. Many African Americans grow up hearing phrases like good hair and bad hair that affects their self-esteem. Just like Jin Wang, people makes sacrifices to be socially accepted. The increase usage of skin lighteners, lip injections, botox and plastic surgery really makes a huge statement about how people in general view themselves. While Jin Wang's transformation was not permanent most people are not as lucky. AwfulPlasticSurgery.com is sad but I check it out for laughs.

I highly recommend this book for any one with young children, even if you're not of Chinese descent. And if you like hip-hop, check out the talented American Born Chinese who happens to be named Jin.

Want to Fight?

Sports Crap: NBAÂ referee Joe Crawford was suspended indefinitely. The NBA rules has gotten crazy and with it, some of the refs. Tim Duncan, not Rasheed Wallace, got a technical foul while sitting on the bench! For what?? Laughing! Well, apparently the ref asked big Timmy if he wanted to fight. After investigations, the NBA finally decided to protect the players and suspend Joey for the rest of the season. In the NBA, you will get a technical if you show any emotional reaction to a referee's call. Here's some excerpts from the NBAÂ official technicalÂ foul ~~Rasheed~~ guidelines.

A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game. d. A technical foul shall be assessed for unsportsmanlike tactics such as: (1) Disrespectfully addressing an official (3) Overt actions indicating resentment to a call e. Cursing or blaspheming an official shall not be considered the only cause for imposing technical fouls. Running tirades, continuous criticism or griping may be sufficient cause to assess a technical. Excessive misconduct shall result in ejection from the game.

Peep the video after the jump and another pretty old drawing.

The Spurs went on to lose the game.

Failure has no Father

Published by Scratch on Tuesday April 17, 2007 in characters. 1 Comment Tags: News and Social Stuff.

My computer is not acting right . . . so, here are some words.

Politicians usually speak, act and behaveÂ frankly during the last months of their terms. Hours before leaving office President Bill Clinton issued 140 pardons. Clinton pardoned people forÂ offenses like importing cocaine, money laundering, financial fraud, issuing worthless checks, intent to distribute illegal drugs, and many more crazy crap. Clinton was a hugely popular president, that's another issue. Tony Blair is on his way out of office andÂ he is speaking his mind. 7 kids under 16 murdered under a 2 month period is serious.

Blair blames recent string of murders on black culture. "When are we going to start saying this is a problem amongst a section of the black community and not, for reasons of political correctness, pretend that this is nothing to do with it?" "We need to stop thinking of this as a society that has gone wrong - it has not - but of specific groups that for specific reasons have gone outside of the proper lines of respect and good conduct towards others and need by specific measures to be brought back into the fold." Mr. Blair is known to believe the tendency for many black boys to be raised in families without a father leads to a lack of appropriate role models. The Commission for Racial Equality broadly backed Mr Blair, saying people "shouldn't be afraid to talk about this issue for fear of sounding prejudiced".

If a U.S. politician (or radio broadcaster)Â made the same comments, what would happen? Will people protest and ask for immediate resignation? How much of a media frenzy would those statements cause? AndÂ more importantly, whatÂ social changes would actually occur to stopÂ said murders? . . . here are some excerpts fromÂ another article titled,Â "Failure has no Father."

But to listen to the chorus of criticism that followed, it is a start that should never be allowed to take place. Mr Blair was immediately condemned by "community leaders" for not proposing "more funding" to "community groups". They wanted him to tackle "deprivation and poverty". Well, he's tried doing that - it has been New Labour's central priority since 1997 - and it hasn't worked: by the Government's own measures, there are actually more children now living in poverty than there were in 1997, despite a plethora of tax breaks and additional welfare payments directed at getting resources to poor children. Furthermore, while there is some sort of link between poverty and criminality, most poor people aren't criminals. Whatever it is that turns you into a criminal, it is not simply being raised in a poor family. If it were, crime rates would be far, far higher than they are. As it is, poor people are far more often victims of crime than they are its perpetrators. . . . The Government provides incentives to bring up children without both parents. So much so that, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, there are 200,000 more people claiming the benefits and tax credits that are due to lone parents than there are actually lone parents in the UK. The consequences of making single-parenthood ever-more economically viable are completely predictable. One of them is that there will be more teenage killings, and not just in the black community.

Of course the issue is more complex and can be argued ad nauseum. I'm almost sure that a definitive researched document does not exist stating that single parenthood leads towards many social ills, because there are many examples of dysfunction from traditional 2-parent homes.

The answer is to return real discipline and respect to schools, to police and to communities and to change the culture these youths live in, to raise them with very different values and ethics, and accept that these things come at a price of harder expectations than is currently fashionable. Immediately after both wars in the last century thousands of widows raised boys alone without them attacking each other with knives in the streets. Why? They wouldn't have dared and they would have thought it was wrong.

. . . Some of the comments sound familiar to arguments and solutions you hear on U.S talk-radio andÂ televised talk show programs.
