Fat Albert is the only one I can remember.
Was there more cartoon shows about African-Americans?

Static Shock was primarily about a black superhero, and dealt pretty consistently with the heme of his race.

I hated the shit out of the pride family and would change the channel when it came on, but it was about a black family and community.
Hudson Ward
Boondocks, nuff said.

The PJS was dogshit.
Adrian Smith
>PJ's Projects
>Boondocks
>The Cleveland Show
>The Proud Family
there are also shows with black protagonists, but race is more incidental to their character, and race is not a major focus of the show.
>Static Shock
>Mike Tyson's Mystery something.
>the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon
Aiden Jenkins

Did you every watched that show? Or read the source material?
Jeremiah Hughes
Adrian Rodriguez
>it's a Jetson-esque future
>the blacks still live in a shack and drive a beater
I'm white and even I can feel that sting a little. Fugg.
Ryder Kelly
Boy they built some fat ass lips for that rocket.
There's also Filmore for the second list.
Easton Brown
this scene is beautiful and the best thing the boondocks has done
Easton Carter
bebe's kids, the proud family, the PJ's
Jaxon Thomas
I liked the Proud Family because of the dad's antics
Fuck Penny though

Classic case of a cartoon too good to last

If you like buckteeth go ahead, mushmouth probay got crazy shit going inside that mouth too

Was the Black Dynamite cartoon worth watching? I loved the movie but I didn't think they could top it.
Charles Gomez
It's a little more absurdist than the movie but I love them both equally. I love the movie for being the second best blaxploitation behind shaft in Africa, and I love the cartoon for being a fantastic action toon that we don't get near enough of. Whole cast is the same too
Jose Nelson

Oliver Stewart
Cool I'll check it out. Rake up em fruits user
Christopher Sanchez
They did those episodes pretty well, though.
>bullied school shooter and those affected gets help while they bullies get in trouble
>racist only racist because he deals with a lot of niggers and learns to treat everyone in an individual way rather than "learning" to just love every black person
>doesn't make all gangbangers 100% evil because people have different motivations
Static Shock was too good.
Zachary Jones
HEY HEY HEY! I'M THE KEYBLADE MASTER!
Brody Kelly
I'm surprised nobody seems to remember Fatherhood considering it was a Bill Cosby creation...
Gavin Garcia
Fat Albert's VA played Fat Albert with wind powers in Static Shock.
Christian Evans
A lot of these shows were terrible.
Grayson Stewart
Hello friend!
Brody Sullivan
African-French instead of American but Foot 2 Rue has a predominately black cast (or in some character's cases "ambiguously brown")
Caleb Perry
>when i'm done molesting you you're gonna wish I didn't make you
Samuel Johnson
Didn't the Jackson Five have their own cartoon?
Evan Jones
Yes.
Jordan Cooper
The Jackson five had their own cartoon.
Julian Morales
Afro Samurai
Chase Stewart
Whole cast except for BD himself. Still great though.
Ryder Hill
Every time I'm in the projects, the PJs is always in my mind. Theme song and everything. Plus the building always look the same way.

>A future society where blacks are redlined to the outer limits of the city, in shitty housing and a beat up car.
Jason Nguyen
Here is the problem.
If Fat Albert was made by a white guy it would be considered a hate crime.
The vast majority of cartoons subsist on caricatures.
Exaggerated depictions are a very base facet of comedy and when done to black people by white people it is always taken as form of racism.
Christopher Peterson
But Michael Jai White played Black Dynamite on the cartoon.
What are you talking about?
Hunter Morris
That show was so vanilla it was sad. Little Bill had far more character than this show.

Granted I was a dumb kid who liked the X Men cartoon, but I really enjoyed Static Shock.
Joshua Morgan
The characters of Fat Albert had actual characteristics that weren't just "I'm a black stereotype, look at me". The characters had interests outside of stereotypical "black things", were shown to be functioning individuals with mostly stable families. The episodes focused on their daily lives and troubles in the inner city.
Sure, if a white guy made this show, it'd probably get slighted, but Fat Albert is far from being just a collection of stereotypes. Fat Albert isn't like the old Looney Toons cartoons where black characters were tap-dancing, jiving, big lipped dimwits.
Carter Powell
I feel like there was a shitload in the early 90s.
Remember Hammerman?
Remember C Bear and Jamal?
Logan Gomez
There was a Globe Trotters cartoon
Evan Morales

Jose Long
Wheres Static Shock you fucking white boys
Colton Bennett
>its not like the movies
I dont know why but I always thought that line was great
Noah Hernandez
>racist only racist because he deals with a lot of niggers and learns to treat everyone in an individual way rather than "learning" to just love every black person
yeah man, a cartoon about a black superhero is definitely about how racism is 100% OK so long you make exceptions once in a while
Connor Cox
But that's not what you are quoting. Are you missing the point on purpose or just stupid?
Tyler Robinson
>Dude it's not his fault he's racist. He's only racist because of all those dirty niggers.
>Them fuckin' liberals want white men to love all black people. That's the real racism there. I mean it's fine to hate most black people but there's a couple of good ones here and there.
Mason Perez
If he genuinely doesn't think that, that's fine. I'd love to just be stupid here.
