I've done a lot of cartoons spanning over 20 twenty years . This particular cartoon is by far the most popular to date. Most agreed with the cartoon while others felt It was wrong to uplift Lupita while showing disdain for Nikki Minaj. The thing I find most disheartening is that none of the critics cared to reach out to the creator of the toon , me . Why not ask the messenger , right? I wonder if those same critics would be so vocal if Nikki Minaj didn't have the fame , popularity and wealth behind her.
The cartoon was not a direct attack on Niki but an attack on the negative imaging and stereotypes she and others like her chose to profit off of. Regardless of whether they accept it or not , rappers and others entertainers are role models. , period. Think about it ...does the mainstream media really want us to know the truth? Many of our DJs , Fanpages, etc,
in the media are merely more than puppets. Be warned , family. If your favorite media person , facebook fanpage , or instagram doesn't feel that they must be proactive in voicing the obvious down slide of positive media , you might want to reconsider what and whom you support. After all it takes a
village to raise a child , right?
