Popular Cartoon ‘VeggieTales’ Declared Racist by ‘Whiteness Forum’
San Diego State University hosted a “critical look at whiteness” forum last week, where students were presented with poster boards of information on what the organizers considered to be lesser known seeds of racism.
Among the problematic issues addressed by the Thursday forum were the NFL(because many of the players are black and coaches and owners are white), white women who support President Donald Trump, and the Christian-themed cartoon “VeggieTales,” according to The College Fix.
The long-running children’s show, which tells Bible stories with vegetables as the characters, was first aired in 1993 and has been beloved by many families for 25 years.
Don't be fooled. Those two reasons right there are why they call it "racist." Its religion-oriented. They don't want people to call them anti-Christian even though they are, so they use a label that is acceptable even to some people who are religious. The other reason is it's 25 years old, so it's been mostly viewed by white children. Whether it was aimed at them or not is irrelevant.
However, one student created a poster for the forum that claimed to show “VeggieTales” perpetuates racial stereotypes — because some of the evil characters have accents, while many of the good ones sound white.
“When kids see the good white character triumph over the bad person of color character, they are taught that white is right and minorities are the source of evil,” the poster stated, according to The College Fix.
Fox News reported the “VeggieTales” poster was titled “Children in the Church” — and it was aimed straight at religion.
Like I said above. And I hadn't even seen that part of the story before saying it.
“When supremacists aim to taint the way children think of people of color, it will work,” the poster stated. “Whiteness in the Bible isn’t just seen as ‘power’ it’s seen as ‘good.’”
As though they've never heard of "dark forces" or "black arts" or anything of that nature. It's automatically vile if it looks to a weak mind that it paints a non-white in a bad light even if the origin had nothing to do with skin color, race or anything of the sort.
But there was a major flaw to the poster’s logic about the “good white character” in “VeggieTales,” as Fox News writer Caleb Parke pointed out.
“Just to be clear, the good guys, Bob and Larry, are red and green respectively, both of which are colors,” Clarke wrote.
What does that matter? They're both non-white colors. But we know what they REALLY mean, don't we?
We won't have to worry about a civil war. Idiots are determined to stupid us out of existence!
