The Cleveland Show: Why MacFarlane Needs To Stop Writing About Marginalized Bodies

Full story: www.womanist-musings.com

A Black man doing a rap at the behest of a White kid. Of course no rap segue would be complete, without a Black woman shaking her ass. This is not the kind of comedy that says I am laughing with you. No, MacFarlane is laughing at us. He is not putting these images out there to challenge stereotypes, he does so to get a cheap laugh.

Blacks have affirmative action (Jim Crow laws for white people) and they speak of white priviledge? It is the other way around.

Choke! Gasp! Talk about privilege esp in entertainment. Not only are there no black criminals but shows like COPS will censor out black crime. Blacks are over represented on judge shows and talk shows. None are on welfare or live in dumps.

Then there is affirmative action (racism) legally practiced against whites in government. We are the ones with the least amount of privilege.

And if you don't like the Cleveland Show, don't watch it. The world doesn't revolve around you feelings.

White Southerners, rich people, religious people, and teenagers among others are constantly skewered for comedic effect. Why should kneegers be exempt from this? Political Correctness is very last century and has been shown to increase hostility and contempt for others rather than decrease it.

There are plenty of things on TeeVee I don’t like. I use my god given remote to make them go away. I would suggest the author of the article do the same and not spend time obsessing about people who watch things she disapproves of.

MacFarlane has been dating a black woman for a long time, so I find it odd that he makes some of his jokes. I wonder if he feels like he has a "black card" bc he is with a black woman. Some people think that way...I don't agree with that though.

However, maybe this can be a lesson to those rappers who objectify women. If they weren't doing this, then there wouldn't be in need to mock them. I think instead of focusing on Macfarlane people need to look at these rappers and hold them responsible bc they are the ones who are giving off the perception that it is okay to act like that.

I don't agree with the crap MacFarlane does, but this problem is bigger than him, and people need to get to the root of the problem. People need to protest against these rappers and women who allow this to happen in rap videos. They should not be idolized for their behavior.
