Was watching old Looney Tunes with my son the other day. Said to myself I grew up on this, it will be fun for him to watch. So this episode is with Foghorn Leghorn and his friend that came to visit him Rhode Island Red. To make a long story short, they got into a fight and Fog was trying to get him to leave, throwing bombs and dynamite at him etc. So Fog comes up with this idea to dress as a bike messenger and gives Red a message that his uncle in California died and to contact a person for the inheritance at the bottom of the letter it was signed A.Shyster, Lawyer it was the funniest shyt I have ever seen on a cartoon of course I laughed hard my son just looked at me puzzled. but damn maybe i didnt realize when I was younger how racist cartoons where. I found it fascinating.
Old cartoons are great and in particular foghorn leghorn is awesome. What about it was racist? I know blackface is a prett common thing in cartoons.
Looney Tunes had 'em for sure ... Disney, too . . . He was hell on Viking-Americans Popeye, of course . . .
Love em, old cartoons rock. I bought Hayden a Tom and Jerry dvd a while back. He threw a lil fit cause he wanted some other new crap and said he didn't like T&J, I put it on for him anyway and I have never heard that kid laugh so hard in all my life.
A. Shyster usually refers to a jewish lawyer that practices lower forms of law like ambulance chasing. anyway, I found it hilarious.
