Classic Cartoons Characters :Favorite Top Three

[Worf101]

I'm sorry but I can't let this pass. People here know me and can tell you that I never ever play "the race" card unless it's something I simply can't ignore. I can't pass up this opportunity to tell some folks who might not know but "Hong Kong Fooey" was/is without a doubt the most racist and offensive cartoon ever created.

The character, voiced by a black man (Scatman Curruthers I believe) is the lowly, slovenly Janitor who's other personae is a bumbling, inept crime fighter. And if making him the janitor (complete with sideways cap, slouching posture and big feet) isn't bad enough, he's NOT EVEN HUMAN!!! HE'S A F***KIN DOG!!!!! "Well he is the hero" you might be tempted to say. But.....

He never gets the villain, his CAT saves the day and in the end it all works out for the best IN SPITE of his ineptness... And we haven't even begun to discuss the mockery this toon makes of revered and respected ancient chinese fighting arts. Geeze Louise and the one female on the toon talks like an airhead and wears a skirt just this side of a belt.

Very little makes me seethe but this chit makes me boil. This toon is so vile, so racist so sexist and ignorant that I blocked the HB channel on my set. I won't allow that crap in my house. Sorry folks I didn't mean to blow my top but I had too.
