I find your strip this week's strip of mocking Condi Rice very sad. Just because you disagree with her, doesn't mean you have to demean her. You have fallen in to the trap, that many of us black folks do, of taking shots at a prominent black person because they don't think like you. Like when Harry Belafonte called C. Rice and Colin Powell house negros because they don't think like him. Rather than celebrate a black woman achieved a position that no other woman at all ever had, you chose to take pot shots. And one more thing Aaron, you're only 26 with a BS. Condi Rice is 49 with a PhD. Who do you think knows more?

My main complaint about the strip is that the Dallas News has chosen to run it separately at the bottom of the advice column page where Cathy used to run.
It is most unsuitable on that page. I find it occasionally funny when it sticks to black inside jokes, most of which I don't understand, but it can be incredibly tasteless and vicious when he veers into politics as he often does.
A number of people, including me, have complained, but they don't listen. They moved Doonesbury to the editorial page a long time ago and that's where this dreck belongs if they have to keep him.
The one I hate more than him is the Bizarro guy. That guy is a big step below in nastiness combined with self-satisfaction, a mix that works nicely for libs in the arts.

No offense or anything, but McGruder draws for urban black Democrats and I don't think it much matters much what "message" he sends them. All he's doing is preaching to the choir.Another point which baffles me...just what percentage of his targetted audience is actually literate?

Macgruder is as pathetic as so many other liberal blacks who feel that it's OK to personally attack conservative blacks to assuage their own feelings of inadequacy.

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

I don't get it. I would think that people truly interested in advancing blacks as a race would rejoyce at every person who makes it regardless of the politics. Well, that is how it should be anyway.

I missed it but have heard Larry talk about him before. He has used his audio from appearances. To call him a hatemonger is the nicest thing that can be said about the POS.

I saw this joker on a cspan bookfair thing. The hate and anger in comic strip is small in proportion to the bile this man holds for the Bush administration. He can't speak about the Bush people without spitting and sputtering.
Typical DU type.

Heck, if the guy was any good he would at least make me mad. But he's a lightweight and he can't even do that. My thoughts exactly.
To: doug from upland
I saw this guy on HBO with Bill Maher and his smug, better than thou attitude almost prompted me to punch my TV. He had the audacity to compare President Bush to the 9/11 terrorists! Pretty opinionated for a no talent funny papers artist.
To: EveningStar
This may seem crass, but why do Black People want to be slaves and why do they want to be referred to as Black people?
Pour Examplier; I am Little Bill, I live in NH and Mass, I am a Swamp Yankee, and I prefer to be known as Bill. If I were Black, and all of the above applied, which it can, I would still like to be Bill, rather than Black Bill, this stuff leaves me confused.

He graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Afro-American studies with a concentration in Social and Cultural Analysis...
Well, he's certainly qualified for his chosen career - cartoons.

Don't be so hard on Mc Gruder!He is not afraid to take on some sacred cows in the black community and,while he is undoubtedly leftist in his political leanings,he seems to give equal time to miscreants of his own color as well as"whitey"and does it with a scathing sense of humor.
To: Riverman94610
Larry Elder has played his statements. He hates almost everything in which you and I believe.

I wouldn't call those comic strips Neither would I. They and Doonesbury belong on the editorial pages of all the left-wing liberal, liberal dailies that run them.

This little bigot lives on another planet. Just let it go.
To: doug from upland
Its SATIRE,Doug!For example,before the Condi Rice series he did a hilarious send-up of middle class black kids who try to pose as"gangstas"when Huey wanted to re-name the streets in his"hood"like Tame Deer Lane after hip hop figures!Mac Gruder hit that whole tendency of many middle class black youth to compensate their relative prosperity by coming on as "hard core"and looking foolish as hell in the process.
I have a feeling that Condi is laughing uproariously at the cartoon.She is secure enough within herself that she can laugh at herself AND her people which is neither racist or degrading.
To: Riverman94610
You might not be as charitable toward this joker if you'd actually heard him making these comments in the aformentioned speech.
To: All
A few years ago a character in this strip suggested that Ward Connerly should be beaten with a spiked club.
My email to the Sacramento Bee was answered by the ombudsman suggesting that I was too stupid to understand "satire."
When the left threatens violence and death, it's "satire." Got it? For example, that "snipers wanted" sign on a picture of presidential candidate George Bush, or how about the satire of Baldwin screaming that Henry Hyde and his family should be killed? We've posted the numerous examples of leftwing "satire" here is the past.
Oh, we are the hate mongers, not them. They got satire. Lots and lots of satire.
