Racism

[I_UndergroundPanther]

Was once marketed to kids.

Looney tunes cartoons show an ugly racist past in this country that was once so pervasive and normalized it was geared twords kids entertainment..

I remember some of these cartoons. I didn't understand what racism was back than,but I didn't like those cartoons. They were violent. That upset me. Some cartoons that were on air in the 70's freaked me right out.
I didn't like Tom and Jerry either. Certain cartoons I avoided. Other ones like the electric company and schoolhouse Rock I liked.

1. I read recently that there was a racist cartoon in Mexico called Memin Pinguin

Memín Pinguín is a Mexican comic book character. He was created in 1943 by comics writer Yolanda Vargas Dulché and author Sixto Valencia in a comic book magazine called "Pepín" and given his own magazine in 1947. Alberto Cabrera took over drawing from 1953 until 1962, followed by Sixto Valencia Burgos.

The original series had 372 chapters printed in sepia, and it has been republished in 1952 and 1961. In 1988 it was re-edited colorized, and in 2004 was re-edited again. Valencia worked on the reissues over the years, updating the drawings (clothes, settings and backgrounds) for the re-edits. It contains comedy and soap opera elements. However, since 2008 Valencia no longer works on the comic, having departed publishing house Editorial Vid.

In addition to Mexico, Memín remains a popular magazine in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and other countries. At its peak, it had a weekly circulation of one and a half million issues in Mexico; as of mid-2005 it sells over 100,000 issues a week.

4. Hummm...big reason for the anti-black factor in Latin society...

that exists and prohibits some Latinx from grasping that blacks and browns are all victims of racism and should back each others' play. Thank God it's not a majority.
