Hello Sup Forums! African American father here. My spouse and I were wondering if there are MORE black rolemodels in cartoons or comics for our daughter to grow up with.
Not trying to racebait, but please post series or characters a minority child can look up to, so SHE can be the DIFFERENCE! God bless and remember you are special!

Your daughter doesn't need a mirror image of herself to identify with. Heroes are heroes, no matter what color they are.
Sup Forums pls go
Unless they happen to look like you, in which case, it's pandering bullshit created in order to meet some kind of quota.
Glad you stopped by OP. Im currently developing a comic with black girls myself. I hope youll let your daughter read. She'll tell you all about it.
Static Shock
Fillmore
this seems perfect for you and your spawn
No the fact they look like you is completely coincidental to the fact they're pandering bullshit created to meet a quota.
How about you and your spouse be good role models instead of letting your cartoons do the job, OP?
Kids Next Door has Numbah 5, she basically the defacto leader on a lot of missions and has enough prominence and episodes dedicated to her that show her as a strong character and good role model.
I had another in mind but I seem to have forgotten it.
Tutenstein
black women?
say no more
It might actually be, Captain Confederacy is a propaganda piece who hates the Confederacy and has a black baby mama
>African American father here
Your daughter already has an exceptional life that grants her an advantage above her peers just from this.
Because him and his spouse are boring as fuck.
Wordgirl . There's a comic called Moon Girl and devil dinosaur that would be good for your kid.
Give her comics of "lesser" superheros or whatever. Don't let her read the main line comics from either DC or Marvel, yet. Those are just pandering garbage, ask Tumblr if you don't believe us. The "minor" comics will show your family that any race can have a part in the comic world. And have their own stories independent from the other heroes, especially ones that fit their own series and abilities.
doc mcstuffins, dumbass
Does Steven Universe count?
Garnet resembles and is voiced by a black woman
What the fuck would a black dad be doing posting on Sup Forums unless they were fucking weeaboos?
Could you imagine it? Some black weaboo dad that married some chick because she looked vaguely like his waifu, won't shut up about the season's latest offerings to his coworkers, even the moeshit. Has a full figuarts line of dbz figures, instead of sports the fucker still goes and plays yu gi oh and Pokémon with his one or two other weeb friends his age, and just has keeps chastising his daughter for listening to the wrong kind of j pop, and every time he shows up at school to pick her up at school she's mortified because he's fucking blasting out the lucky star theme song, with his best konata cosplay on, screeching to a halt and yelling at her "get in here, we're gonna be late for evo"
All this coming from a dude that looks like uncle phil
knd has numbah 5, shes fantastic
i think kiki from steven universe is someone to look up to, and even though they technically dont have a race, some of the gems could easily fill the slots
theres a handful of dc and marvel heroes that arent rehashings or replacements for previously existing heros that are black, how good a role model any of them are is dependent on the writer
arguably val and her father from danny phantom
while everyone in atla and lok are based around asians a handful of the darker skinned characters could work out as "black" role models
im really trying to think of good role models that arent in m/r rated stories or just token characters
regardless just look through media yourself and decide what would send the messages you want your kid to hear for yourself. she'll take to whatever she likes most, and might not even care that theres "good black role models" for her to look up to. i know i personally was always more interested in monsters and other non humans in media, and would usually get bored if the focus was just on humans. a lot of the shows i recommended i liked for reasons totally unrelated to the human characters much less their appearances. unless shes obsessed with /what/ she is, its likely the characters appearances will go right over her head
It's a porn comic, isn't it.
She's not black she's ambiguously brown numb nuts.
Nobody said that.
Kys
she looks more middle eastern or hispanic to me
It could have been though lol.
You know what
I'd hang out with a guy like that
WE
I'm surprised nobody has made an "African-American father" joke yet
Yeah Wordgirl .
Um
There's one right there.
...
Word girl is Indian.
She might be too young for it but Vixen has her own animated show on the CWSeed web site.
...
She's from Lexicon.
>Sup Forums
>making a comic with black girls
Bullshit. This is bait.
>he thinks im kidding
Don't think that's as much a joke as it is an observation. I live in a minority majority area and all of my nerdy friends who are overachievers have both parents. Weird trend.
I'm pretty sure you're just looking for waifus to jerk off to though
OP just said black cartoon characters, he didn't say female characters.
If you need cartoons to be a role model for your kid then you're a failure as a parent.
These.
>Letting media raise your own children
They're actually more likely to grow up fucked in the head because everything in movies/cartoons/comics is so fucking sugar-coated.
Fucking savage!
>But true
I live in a "minority majority" area and most of my friends growing up had both parents. Most people that I know right now as an adult had both parents while they were growing up. My cousins father died when he was very young and he grew up just fine. Right now he's married and has a son. My brother's mother and my father never married and he turned out just fine. He's married with a son as well. My parents were married and got divorced but I still had both my parents in my life until my father died a few years ago.
The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.
It doesn't hurt to see positive images that one can relate to. If the only images you see of people like yourself are negative, in the background, on the sideline or simply followers, hangers on or servants then that's not good for self image. That doesn't mean that OP is trying to abdicate his responsibilities as a parent to the television.
I had to think about characters:
-Storm from XMen
-Clawdeen from Monster High (she's a wolf, but is designed specifically to pander to black girls).
-Tiana from Princess and the Frog
-Green Lantern John from Justice League cartoon
I'm sorry I can't think of any more. You'll probably have to turn to characters that are just good rolemodels in general:
-Twilight Sparkle from MLP FiM
-Aang from Avatar The Last Airbender
-Spiderman
-Steven from Steven Universe
Many of these are men. Many of them are white. But each one stands as a decent rolemodel in respects to establishing an open mind and open heart for young viewers, like I presume your daughter is...regardless of race or gender.
I'm actually interested to know of some characters who pose as good role models in modern entertainment? It can be anyone, as long as they always try to do good, face a problem head first, and is responsible for their actions.
>mfw it IS porn
>Avengers Assemble
Falcon is one of the smartest members of the team
>Static Shock
>StarGate SG-1 live action series
Tielk is awesome and honorable.
>Justice League 1990s.
John Stewart is pure awesomeness.
>Not porn
Boring.
No for the love of God do not let your daughter watch this show.
Everyone in the family and even Penny's friends are complete and total cunts.
The show tries to teach good morals, but ultimately just shows Penny giving into pressure from her bitchy stuck up friends.
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN WATCH PROUD FAMILY. FOR THE LOVE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN WATCH THIS SHOW.
Can't appreciate shit!
With that statements, then you could have some show like "BOONDOCKS" that makes the stuck up hood obsessed black kids look positive. When in reality, it only serves to show the stereotypes and increase them.
Okay i understand styles but why the fuck does the dad look like a goddamed hat rack
>ctrl+f
>No Boondocks
Shame on you Sup Forums.
this.
see
Fuck you.
Fuck you, fuck your fairy faggot accent, fuck me for not remembering the whole words and not putting them in the right order, fuck the queen, this is America.
Then the Proud Family should not be viewed because the entire show is everything you just described.
What about Static, fat Albert or Filmore?
Proud family is like brace face only the main character is black and her father is a cornball.
dumbass. pretty much no matter what kind of parent you are your kids will grow up under the all-encompassing thumb of media, unless you become a helicopter, homeschooling, manage their time pick their friends parent in which case your kids are almost certainly doomed. you're all so fucking preachy here, and you clearly have no experience with raising kids or even a handle on real life. it's like listening to reddit that swears more
Could have been
What about Static Shock was hood obsessed?
>Yes they talk about gangs, yes they talk about guns, Static was never constantly spouting raps, he was never talking about "the man". He had friends, he talked about school, he displayed work ethic and specialized skills.
What about Filmore was hood obsessed?
>Filmore never displayed anything remotely related to "the hood"
I was saying what about those shows instead of something like boondocks
You'd be lucky if your kid grew up to be half as based as the Wall.
Filmore is number 1
Followed by Static Shock.
I don't think Fat Albert is that great of a show.
>African American father
>sticking around
Yeah right.
You'd be lucky if your kids grew up to be half as based as the Wall
> Hopefully she'd be half the weight of the Wall too.
Speaking of, Drawn Together.
That sounds like a cool dad to me. Sign me the fuck up.
>pretty much no matter what kind of parent you are your kids will grow up under the all-encompassing thumb of media
That's why you teach your kids to question things, to do their research and not take everything at face value, you dumb, ignorant fuck.
>WAHH SOCIETY IS FUCKED SO WHY BOTHER TRYING ANYMORE WAHHH
(((out of the oven)))
lmao I hope this isn't intentional, that would make this situation a lot funnier
I think it is.
Book even says "Really makes you think"
I think Sup Forums made a comic.
How are you on Sup Forums and defending sports. That guy you described seems like a cool dude
Donkey Kong
Is it true that Sup Forums had a nigger mod that has turned this place into a tumblr hug box?
NIGGERS RUIN EVERYTHING
damn, i loved Filmore. a hard boiled detective show set in middle school? fucking amazing, i wonder if there's a box set
I loved static as a kid. Also liked the Rebirth of Cool comic series.
"mothers milk" a character from the comic "the boys"
I think he looks presidential, user.
Is there such thing as over-caricaturing? Cause I feel like that Obama is it.
That's just Ramirez, Shmorky
...
Why did Johnathan Banks bring farming tools to Robin Williams' dinner?
>using a fast food restaurant mascot as your front man for racism
>don't see how pathetic that looks
>drawing porn of children
are you as creatively bankrupt as you are grosse?
man
filmore looked like the coolest shit
it still looks like the coolest shit
but the writing is fucking cringeworthy to me even when i was a kid
lol who'd want to fuck those? I mean besides african men who don't want to get HIV
That was one guy and none of the black anons liked him either.
How bout now?
