Nope. No. You’re wrong. Color photos have been around since the late 1800s there are a bunch of full color photos of MLK. The us govt and educational system just doesn’t show us because they want us to push back the civil rights movement and distance institutionalized racism from today’s society.
Here are just a few of many photos of MLK in FULL color. This wasn’t that long ago. This is RECENT history. Segregation, the terrorizing of black communities, the brutality isn’t old - it is still present.
When my dad was a little boy, my grandfather was one of the ministers who marched with MLK on Washington. He grew up hearing stories about the great Dr. king and the differences he made BUT he still saw the blatant discrimination against black folks and other people of color (hell he experienced it himself). My dad was a kid watching MLK. My DAD. My grandfather who only passed away about six years ago MARCHED with him. This isn’t twelve generations ago. THIS IS RECENT HISTORY.
I’m a millennial and my parents were both in middle school when he was murdered. This really wasn’t that long ago.
I’m Gen z and my grandmother went to segregated schools for a few years before they became illegal
Seeing photos like this in full color with nice, crisp lines and in relatively high definition really does a lot to remind you that this really WASN’T all that long ago. No wonder people tend to think of the days of MLK as ancient history, if we mostly see black and white and grainy pictures!
gen z cartoonists rise up… we gotta completely rebuild the animation industry from scratch but with morals this time
or y’all could just, like, learn that media doesn’t have to be squeaky clean unproblematic to exist
could op sound more like a conservative Christian if they tried
guys, they’re talking about how animators and how creators are treated like shit and basically get walked all over by their networks. this has nothing to do with shipping or anything in the actual cartoons themselves, but the industry. you would’ve noticed that if you yknow, actually read the post instead of just blindly hating on it.
And also people like John K being able to do what he did for as long as he did
it kills me how icarus has become viewed as this tragic mythological figure who poets and songwriters love referencing when really he was just a dumbass teen who thought an airborne prison break would be a good time for cool stunts.
it’s a tragic but in the same way as like, “guy breaks his neck doing a flip on a skateboard” but also, again, during a prison escape
