Project 3 – Culture Representation Content Analysis Team 7 Calli Breil Steve Gallo Hannah Brown Elisabet Liminyana Vico Jessica Marsh Compilation of data from each coding sheet (with editing out of some data determined not relevant to focus of analysis): Themes Self-Loathing There are two forms of self-loathing. Some, such as the kind Granddad consistently portrays, present the desire to be like the “higher-class” race, which is White in these episodes. Although he does not explicitly state hating his own race, he tends to be critical of his culture and makes many attempts to be accepted by the whites. The other kind of self-loathing is the more explicit kind, which Uncle Ruckus represents perfectly. He openly condemns blacks, and while interracial children are a bit better (he is kinder to Jazmine DuBois because her mother is white), the only race he seems to help is white. According to Rucus, a black person must hate oneself if he wants to get into “white” heaven (Episode 15, Season 1). He rationalizes this by saying, God doesn’t like blacks they are “cursed” – “that is why we in the ghetto, in jail, on UPN, because God doesn’t like us.” He makes frequent statements how blacks must serve whites because they are superior. It is also revealed that the only thing he wants in this world is to be white. In the same episode (1x15) Ruckus encourages both races to think about the black people they hate. He then tells everyone at the “revival” to “lay hands on” the black person beside them but first make a fist so that they can “beat the black out of his soul. Beat the darkie … Beat a nigger’s ass and go to heaven” (19:07) Ruckus also says “I used to hate God for making me black but now I hate myself.” At Ruckus’s “revival” blacks admit to hating other blacks. Ruckus also shows the stereotype that whites are better than blacks in skill sets as well as just being a “superior” race, such as saying to MLK in Episode 9, Season 1, “Why’d you have to go mess with the natural order of things? I’da shot you myself. But I realize the white man got better aim.” (7:06) Hypocrisy Perhaps the best example of hypocrisy in The Boondocks is from Martin Luther King, Jr., who comes back from the dead and gives a speech to Blacks in a church. He describes what he witnesses after four decades of fighting for rights: "Will you ignorant niggers pleeeease shut the hell up? Is this it? Is this what I got all those ass-whoopin's for? I had a dream once. It was a dream that all the little black boys and little black girls would drink from the river of prosperity, freed from the thirst of oppression. But low and behold, some four decades later, what have I found but a bunch of trifling, shiftless, good-for-nothing niggas. And I know some of you don't want to hear me say that word. It's the ugliest word in the English language. But that is what I see now: Niggas. And you don't want to be a nigga because niggas are living contradictions. Niggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions; Niggas wax and wane, niggas love to complain; Niggas love to hear themselves talk, but hate to explain. Niggas love being another man's judge and jury, niggas procrastinate till it's time to worry. Niggas love to be late, niggas hate to hurry. .Black Entertainment Television is the worst thing iIve seen in my life!...Usher, Michael Jackson is not a genre of music!...And Now I’d like to talk about Soul Plane...I've seen what's around the corner, I've seen what's over the horizon, and I promise you, you niggas have nothing to celebrate. And no, I won’t get there with you. I am going to Canada." Greed In The Boondocks there are several ways that characters are greedy. The most typical are greed to gain power or greed to gain material items such as money. The best examples of greed are presented by Granddad and Ed Wuncler - who both declare they are “old school.” Material greed: Material greed is best represented by Ed Wuncler, who uses any means necessary to get what he wants. For example, in Season 1 Episode 10, Wuncler manipulates Granddad to take over a restaurant, believing that his “soulful” and addictive (literally addictive) food will invite the wrong crowd to an area Wuncler wants to purchase. Wuncler states that the State is trying to butt[…]s him. He affirms: “we’ll see who butt[…]s who.” (4:26). Like having a drug dealer move into town, the area slowly falls to disarray. Wuncler then offers to “help” by buying the nearby park and building a shopping center on the previously beautiful ground. Wuncler also is willing to do whatever it takes to stay profitable, for example, in Episode 10 Season 1, he does not fire the Mexicans, because of the profit he has from them. One worker said: “I am half Mexican!” and Wuncler answers her back: “Not the legal Mexicans!” (5:56) Power greed: This greed is present by characters who use whatever methods they think are available to them in order to gain or maintain power. Grandad, for example, uses violence frequently throughout the episode to assert his authority over Riley and Huey. For example, Granddad slaps Huey in Season 1 Episode 1 when he is dreaming of causing the “white people to riot” to wake him up and threatens physical violence to boys if they don’t behave. Ignorance Ignorance is typically presented by either racists, or by people who do not care, or know the “truth” or “reality” as presented by the Freeman family. For example, in Episode 1 Season 1, Huey learns that these “new” white people aren’t quite what he expected. Instead of getting hysterical at being told the “truth” about Ronald Regan, 9/11, and Jesus they find Huey to be “adorable,” “charming,” and “articulate.” This surprises and disappoints Huey and he says to Granddad “these people aren’t worried about us. They’re not worried about anything. They’re rich. No matter what happens these people will just keep applauding” (15:16 – 15:22). Character Huey Freeman: Appearance: Huey wears full PJ suit. He representative of “black power movement,” natural “afro” hair. Dresses in casual clothes during first portion of show, a bouncer even tells Huey (Episode 9, Season 1), “I tell you right now, you aint gettin in with them shoes.” Wears grey militaristic outfit resembling uniform to garden party and black military looking boots. In Episode 15, season 1, Huey is described as looking like Morpheus from The Matrix by Riley, because he wears a trench coat and carries two tranquilizer guns underneath in his efforts to save his friend, Shabazz, from execution. Interest: Huey has a strong desire to stop the “white supremacy.” For example, in Episode 1, Season 1, Huey believes “the Feds” are coming to the house. He trains the target hairs of a scope mounted onto a pellet gun on Ed Wuncler (the white, rich bank owner) when he comes to the house. Huey calls himself a “black radical freedom fighter” in Episode 15, Season 1 and struggles to free Shabazz, a friend. Huey is shown to have many books about activism, slavery, the “white man,” and life on death row - all written by Shabazz. He has a Che Guevara poster and “Free Shabazz” banner. Huey also related strongly to Martin Luther King Jr., as seen in Episode 9, Season 1. He and MLK both lament the direction of black culture. Huey frequently conducts experiments to understand the world around him, such as in Episode 12, Season 1, Huey studies the effects of Black television programs, saying, “We all know the images we see can elicit strong emotional reactions...but is it possible to see something so bad that hurts you physically...can too much black television kill you?” (around 4:30) , later suggesting its high impact on even strong people, and implying it could kill someone (4:30 - 5:25) Mannerisms: Huey is presented as highly educated, literate, articulate and well- mannered despite being purposively inflammatory at times in order to get his way or to make others aware of some truth.

  • Boondocks Vs. South Park
    Satire, Race, and Modern Cartoons: Boondocks vs. South Park Stanford University Communication Department June 4, 2011 Melanie J Murphy Satire is primarily seen in literary form where irony, sarcasm and ridicule are used in order to expose, or denounce vice or folly with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. In addition to satire as a literary genre, we have seen an increase in the use of satire in American television as well. Popular cartoons such as the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and the Boondocks are known to have created controversy through episodes that feature satire on political, social, and racial issues. While all four of these cartoons have satirical content, the Boondocks and South Park dedicate the majority of their satire each episode toward one main issue. It would be interesting to see if (1) there are racial differences between how whites and blacks view both shows and (2) if the satire featured in these two shows actually exposes society’s foolishness, possibly leading to improvement. It is our hypothesis that through social identification theory, groups will be made through the similarity of race (Tajfel, 1982). This will allow for those who identify with either race, to feel more positively toward the show of their own race. Comedy Central’s South Park is a satirical, animated show, made for mature audiences created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Although the show is thought by some to be incredibly offensive, the creators explain that there is an underlying moral lesson. The show follows four characters that live in the fictional predominantly white town of South Park, Colorado.

  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We Hereby Approve the Dissertation of Brian Whit
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Brian Whitney Collier Jr. Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________ Chair Denise Taliaferro-Baszile _________________________________ Dennis L. Carlson Reader _________________________________ Sally Lloyd Reader _________________________________ Paula Saine Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT I AM THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER REFUSED: SPIRITUALITY, THE BOONDOCKS AND NOT BEING THE PROBLEM by Brian Whitney Collier Jr. It is visible in academic dialogue, specifically educational research, that there has not been any substantial research published that constructs or examines The Boondocks animated series in a capacity that extends the discourse past stereotypical issues and paradigms that are associated with the inferiority of African American males and the marginalized experiences they encounter. One primary purpose of this study is to offer a counter argument to the negative conversations that surround The Boondocks comic and animated series. Because most arguments about the text stem from the images and language, the conversations surrounding anything positive or hopeful as it pertains to being a Black male, are left out. Furthermore, this media text is currently not perceived as a reference that can be used as a pedagogical tool. In this qualitative critical media analysis, I sought to answer the question: How does the curriculum of The Boondocks represent issues of race, spirituality, and masculinity? Although The Boondocks is typically understood and critiqued as a Black Nationalist text, I intend to look at the animated series through the lens of race, spirituality and Black Masculinity. I specifically examine the text through the theoretical underpinnings of Critical Media Literacy and Critical Race Theory.

  • The Music of Donny Hathaway Everything Is Everything Donny Hathaway, 1970
    SUMPTUOUS SOUL: THE MUSIC OF DONNY HATHAWAY EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING DONNY HATHAWAY, 1970 Keisha Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Radhika Gajjala © 2014 Keisha Hicks All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor The song “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway is played only once a year during the holiday season. His presence is so strong during the holidays for African Americans because he is one of the distinctive cultural markers of the season. The question at hand is why is he relegated to the Christmas season but what about the rest of the year. In 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) created the series 50 Great Voices as a way to expose NPR listeners to artists who were not at the forefront of public consciousness. On June 26, 2010 Donny Hathaway debuted as the “Neglected Heart of Soul” but does “neglected” hold up. I believe “neglected” becomes situational depending on who is doing the remembering. The objective of my dissertation is to locate Donny Hathaway as a central figure in 1970s Soul music, to understand his growing influence over contemporary artists, and his musical legacy. I used Stuart Hall’s “representation” as my overarching theoretical framework. I wanted a theory that would be fluid enough to be relevant in the different phases of Donny Hathaway’s musical career. By using representation I was able to identify and understand the musical influences on Donny Hathaway.
