"Darker Than Blue" Print

Your Black friends are tired of talking in the face until we're blue when you're not open to receiving the message. There was often a Black friend in the cartoons I saw growing up but they were often striped of their Blackness even down to being voiced by non-Black voice actors. Imagine how exhausting that is for viewers and for the Black characters themselves. Well, I guess you can look at this and see how exhausted they are. In the words of Curtis Mayfield, "We people, who are darker than blue."

FYI - I'll never be ok with Doug clearly being white and the show choosing to illustrate every character colorfully but none of them Black.

 

This was the first installment in the "Your Black Friends Are Tired" series. It started the entire thought process.
