(onderin is wat tekst in het Nederlands)
Between 1928 and 1950 [...h]undreds of reels, thousands of cartoons, millions of individual frames sketched and watercolored by hand - and more often than people care to admit, content which directly ridiculed the behavior and appearance of blacks, homosexuals, southerners, the mentally ill, Arabs, Candians, Eskimos, Italians, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Germans, Russians, Australians, Indians, the Scottish, the French, the Irish - and yes, even Martians. (...) As the result of objections by parents, overly sensitive sponsors, timid corporate policy, and "changing" cultural niceties, a substantial portion of these classic cartoons has been lost forever, and some may never again see the light of day. Animated features with even the slightest reference to alcohol (including rum cake), adultery, breasts, chewing tobacco, cross-dressing, gambling, marijuana, pornography, profanity, "rim jobs" (i.e. dogs licking each other), vaguely sexual or flirtatious situations, recreational sex toys (i.e. Tom from Tom and Jerry sticks a vacuum cleaner up Mammy Two-Shoes' skirt, producing giggles), smoking of any kind, suicides (i.e. a flusterated Daffy Duck blows his beak around in circles with a shotgun) - and even baby ducklings emerging from their shells in demure strip tease were deemed unacceptable. (...) Today, the most popular racial phobery (and war-inspired propaganda) has a new impetus: South Park, with its remarkable and timely depictions of both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. (...) In South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Mr. Hussein is observed wiggling an oversized jelly dong in Satan's face. When the film is fired up in a crowded movie house, there's no other word apart from refreshing when one observes how many people are actually sitting back and laughing like they're supposed to. It's a harmless cartoon after all. Primitive, faraway lands where bronze-toned townspeople have towels for top hats and cloth diapers for dungarees? Now that's just ridiculous! We'll be right back after these messages from 1961. (...) See, every June is June Bugs month at Cartoon Network, and it's a veritable Bugs Bunny marathon. Fearful of a potential backlash, AOL Time-Warner very nearly dropped a major anvil on Cartoon Network's proposed festival in 2001. Racially charged episodes were aired out of order, late at night with the following disclaimer: "Cartoon Network does not endorse the use of racial slurs. These vintage cartoons are presented as representative of the time in which they were created and are presented for their historical value."(...) Nine times out of ten, a person won't even notice racist or hateful overtones in a cartoon unless the idea is planted firmly in head. By refusing to unearth and revive historical artifacts, societies sustain immeasurably more damage than brief exposure to racial toxins from old-timey cartoon doodles. Novelist Kurt Andersen (Turn of the Century, 1999) muses, "If we don't know our history in all of its complicated detail, how are we supposed to understand the present?" To allow ourselves only a bland, repackaged version of the past is - how do you say - kind of a Mickey Mouse approach. "Marching and heiling, heiling and marching. In him is planted no seed of laughter, hope, tolerance or mercy. For him - only heiling and marching, marching and heiling. The grim years of regimentation have done their work. Now he's a good Nazi. He sees no more than the party wants him to. He says nothing but what the party wants him to say. And he does nothing than what the party wants him to do. And so he marches, with millions of comrades, trampling on the rights of others. For now, his education is complete. His education... for death." http://www.*********om/library/culture/banned-cartoons/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goed. Sorry voor het Engels, maar in het kort komt het er op neer dat: - stereotyperingen, racisme, discriminatie, e.d. zijn geen zeldzaamheid in cartoons. Ze waren er vroeger, maar nu nog steeds. Die van vroeger zijn of worden steeds meer geweerd van de televisie of zijn zelfs verbannen; die van nu worden als grappig bestempeld, terwijl je je kunt afvragen of er nu werkelijk zoveel verschil is tussen de cartoons van vroeger ("die in historisch perspectief geplaatst moeten worden") en die van nu. De vraag is ook: is het terecht dat deze cartoons geweerd zijn en zouden sommige cartoons van nu eigenlijk ook geweerd moeten? Waar ligt de grens? En waarom is het verkeerd/goed dat deze cartoons bestaan? Hoe moet de maatschappij (het volk) hiermee omgaan en hoe moet de overheid en cartoonisten hier mee omgaan?

Cartoons worden gebaseerd op vooroordelen die spelen in de samenleving, die vooroordelen bestaan al. Het is de zaak omdraaien om dan de cartoons te verbieden.
Bovendien, waar slaat de bewering op dat racistische cartoons racisme opwekken? Is daar ooit een gefundeerd onderzoek naar gedaan? Mijn inziens hebben racistische caroons eerder het tegenovergestelde effect. Cartoons worden tenslotte nooit serieus genomen |

Vrijheid van expressie. Eventueel kan het materiaal uitgezonden worden op een wat later tijdstip om de tere kinderzieltjes te beschermen maar in principe valt dit onder de verantwoordelijkheid van de ouders en behoort de overheid zich hier niet mee te bemoeien.
