Sherman Parker is compared to a black a$$ dog referring to him as black and proud, and Star Jones feels that this is appropriate due to Sherman's party affiliation.
Star Jones, some man has hurt you bad in a past relationship, and you just can't recover from this hurt. Let the pain go Star, and move on. No man deserves to be compared to a dog because he lost an election, regardless of party affiliation. Especially, when that dog happens to be black and the individual it makes reference to is black.
I am black and I am proud is not a statement about black people and their connection to black animals.
I am black and I am proud is a statement that says that although black people have been through so many horrific experiences to defeat them and break their spirit, some of us have still made it through to keep our heritage of who we are.
"It is just a joke", yeah it is just a joke to some people. However, I don't find it to be a joke when I experience the discrimination and roadblocks that are still in place against black people today to keep them from succeeding.
"Many black people are making it today", but many black people are not making it today. Just look at how black people were treated during Hurricane Katrina and the rebuilding process.
"Well a black guy did this cartoon", but a black person creating this cartoon does not make the cartoon acceptable to all black people. The cartoon to some black people shows a diminished lack of respect for the statement, "I'm black and I'm proud", by the creator of the cartoon.
In fact, if the creator of the cartoon had been white there would probably be an outcry from the black community to close down this website. I'm just a black person that doesn't care what color you are, if I feel that something may be wrong I am going to let you.
Be aware, one black person feels that this cartoon crosses the line of good journalism and humor!!!!

Star Jones you are a big mouth, ignorant black with a hatred for black men. The only reason you don't have a problem with a black men being compared to a dog, is because you are the female counterpart to a male dog!
That is right, if you don't have a problem with a black man being called a dog, then you must be the opposite of a male dog!
