    Where are the black people???
    No, i am not talking about gamblers..

    Boys, i love my cartoons and i watch alot of old Jetsons, The Flintstones and Bugs Bunny.. and it just dawned on me.. after watching thousands of hrs of this, i have NEVER ever seen 1 black guy in any of these cartoons.. did you notice this too?? Have you boys noticed not 1 black guy ever in flintstones?? how come there were no black people in bedrock?? was bedrock a racist town?? Did Fred and Barney hate black people? In 200 episodes, we never saw 1 black guy on The Flintstones ever.

    Does anyone know why we never saw a black guy in any cartoon back then?? and don't say because there weren't any blacks cause there were just as many.. and they were even more blacks back then than today. Some were even blacker than the ace of spades. They were very dark back then, even darker than now..

    but how come we never saw them in any cartoons??

    If anyone can give me the right answer, you will get 10 pts..

        The Fat Albert cartoon didn't have any other race other than Black (though the storyline was of ghetto Blacks, which is what Bill Cosby wanted since it was about his childhood).

        The Jackson 5 had their own cartoon.

        Heckle & Jeckle were black magpies, though one had an east-coast "wise guy" accent, but the other spoke intelligently.

        Ernie is brown and Bert is yellow (though not with an Asian accent)

        Scooby Doo was a brown dog, and Daffy Duck was a black duck.

        Johnny Quest's BFF (Hadji) was Indian.

        Just for gigles y'all so don't get thrown, Spridle had a monkey, and Captain Caveman was brown and had a big nose!!!

            Pete Jones of the Hardy Boys Mystery Series-(1969)- Pete Jones was the first positive African-American animated character in the modern African-American animation era. Not much is known about Pete except he provided the percussions to the Hardy Boys music.

                      funny pictures.

                      How do you turn a black man into a white man??

                      You slap the blackness off their skin.

                        wow, can you believe that even in Bugs Bunny, they decide to put 1 black guy and they make him into a killer with a machine gun.. they really had a poor image about the blacks. bread and deuce, you guys did a lot of research, so you deserve each 1 pt only.. reason why only 1 was i didn't say find me a black and i'll give you 10 pts.. i said why weren't there blacks in cartoons during those times?? esp flintstones.. why was bedrock so racist for?? why was it so rare having blacks in cartoons back then?? that's what i want to know.

                                Here's your answer nicky. Josie and pussycats FTW!:

                                (Valerie) was the first black (cartoon) character ever used on a children's TV show."

                                Chances are beantownjim never watched this show...

                                  but how come we never saw them in any cartoons??

                                  Because great men with balls were running our country back then.

                                  Now we have pussies with no balls running the show.

                                  Like Beantown used to say, if your daughter came home with Tom Brady, Obama and Denzel Washington, who would you welcome with open arms.

                                    i hate what marijuana does to brain cells. which is both a lie on my part and the government, lying cokk-suckers

                                    anyway, this is some old stand-up routine by some white guy, but i can't find it.

                                    joke set-up was about watching flintstones and jetsons. blah-blah-blah

                                    and the punch-line was:

                                    "i think the obvious lesson here is there were no black people in the past nor will there be any in the future."

                                    that had to be about 7 or 8 years ago. am i the only one that remembers that?

                                            Good Question Nicky... Never really thought about it! Maybe no one knew how to draw a black character! I don't think that a black mother would tell her little ones to stop watching cartoons if they just saw all white ones. I think unfortunitly some white mothers might if their kids saw black cartoons! Probably a ratings thing. They figured if it was not broke... don't fix it by trying out black characters! Just my thoughts... no fact to that!

                                                Why would you clap for that racist, ignorant, stupid response?

                                                Everyones open to opinions but no one benefits from that level of "intellectualism."

                                                      Richie, I would let Tommy Brady ONLY. Richie, as much as I hate Timmy Tebow, he is a well raised Jesus loving Southern boy. If I had a daughter Richie, Timmy would be the only man allowed to date her.

                                                              great one, reno..

                                                              and you know what's incredible.. 2 days ago i am watching flintstones and fred and barney were in the audience at the water buffalo meeting.. i paused it and searched for 34 seconds and tried to find 1 black guy in the audience..and guess what.. out of 196 different water buffaloes in the audience, not 1 was black..

                                                              maybe Hanna Barbera the creator hated blacks or his wife cheated on him with a black guy and she's a black lover and he hated this, so he refused to put them in his 3 cartoons he created. jetsons, flintstones and bugs bunny..and the only one he puts in is a murderer with a gun.. who knows, just guessing.

                                                              Or maybe Bedrock did not allow blacks in their town.
