I wanted to post this because I am a huge fan of Looney Tunes cartoons. And I also wanted to show the strong racism in early Looney Tunes cartoons.

The first time I ever experienced racism was on a family trip to Disneyland in the early 90s. That was a first-hand experience. The first time I ever saw racism was on the television, when I was much younger watching Looney Tunes cartoons. Blatant racism as well as stereotypes towards African-Americans, Japanese, Jews and Chinese. These cartoons were eventually withdrawn from distribution and are known as the ‘censored eleven’. In 1999 all Speedy Gonzales cartoons were made unavailable because of their stereotyping of Mexicans. But because the level of stereotyping was minor as well as the protests of many Hispanics who said they were not offended and fondly remembered Speedy Gonzales cartoons from their youth, these shorts were made available for broadcast again in 2002.

I don’t believe children should be exposed to racism, at all. My parents were different. And because of that, I spent my early years thinking that every white person in the world was racist. That probably sounds funny, but keep in mind that I never made any close white friends in elementary school because of this. It’s not one of those things you forget growing up either. I’ll always remember the ‘mamies’, the pickaninny and the black face. And On the flip-side I don’t regret having seen any of this at a young age.

People were racist as ~~fuck~~ back in the day, and the intended audience for Looney Tunes was, as Friz Freeling partially admitted, intended for racist white people. Not young impressionable Black, Latino or Asian kids.

Florida 08/09 (Feat. Mandatory Beach Visit)

.. Beach houses.

… My friend (and local) Dina.

… Me as far in the water as I was willing to go, with my camera.

… Friend D.M. (California girl enjoying the Florida water).

The inspiration for today’s Lil Loca. The original is Mi Vida Loca. This movie centered around the lives of young Mexican-American women living in Los Angeles. Written and Directed by Allison Anders (in 1994), she cast genuine gang bangers for the film. She also compiled her script from anecdotes from real girl gangs.

I loved this movie when it first came out. I thought that I wanted to be like these girls-tough, street smart and ‘vato’ crazy. I even dressed like them for a while during Junior High.

I haven’t seen this movie since the mid 90s. It wasn’t until I was at a friends house this past summer, in Florida, that it took me back. I saw it at her cousins house and demanded she bring it back to her house so we could all watch it.

I strongly reccomend you check this film out. And keep your eyes peeled for a young Salma Hayek.

FML- Caster Semenya

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:15:31 -0400

The African track star Caster Semenya had to drop out of an upcoming race after a newspaper report revealed she’s a hermaphrodite!

I knew there was something… special about this person. At least it takes all of the unnecessary attention off of Lady Gaga.

But.. On the flipside, Semenya won gold in the 800 meters at the 2009 World Championships in athletics with a time of 1:55.45 in the final, again setting the fastest time of the year.
