Black Bart

I thought this essay was very interesting. I never really thought of Bart as being a white character or a black character. I've always define him as a cartoon that fits most people. To me Bart had always been a yellow cartoon.

I think I can see why many African American would wears a Black Bart T-shirt. Since Bart pretty much represent a lot of people or the way they feel, I believe to African American Black Bart wasn't just an icon or a symbol of some kind. Black Bart could have been about values. Bart is an "underachiever" how can he be a culture value? I believe it's because many can put themselves in his shoes.

During one of the interview of two girls one the girl say that Bart, although he is suppose to be a white character, acts like a black character. I really disagree with this because I think Bart have a little of all of us in him. I, for one, can say that I swear in public and pulls pranks on people and I am either black or white. To me The Simpson's family will always be a yellow cartoon family.
