« Is The U.S. Rejecting Or Trying To Jumpstart Negotiations With Iran?
Guest Voice: Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ “A Valentine For the World” »
Hmm, not bad (but not really good, either), but it raises an disturbing question:
Why isn’t Obama shown in his real skin? Is there some kind of reluctance, maybe because of religious concerns, to show black cupids???
:-/
Gray, actually his skin is always colored in the cartoons rather lightly. In fact, most black people in cartoons are given lighter tones than they actually have be it in gray with black and white cartoons or light brown in color cartoons. I don’t know why this is but it could merely be for profesional reasons (color balance), not race based ones. You’d have to ask a cartoonist.
“In fact, most black people in cartoons are given lighter tones than they actually have be it in gray with black and white cartoons or light brown in color cartoons.”
Never noticed that. So, this isn’t any different from cartoons portraying Condi or Powell? Thx, Lynx.
Actually that is Obama’s skin tone (or very close). I’m of the lighter-skinned “variant” of
African-AmericanBlack folks in America so I’m glad to see that Cagle got it right.
