Academic Impressions of Lootie

I stumbled into this link while pondering Lootie. It's amazing how people can take this stuff way to seriously. Each fark is captioned with a whiny liberal reaction.

Prof Randall's Note: During Hurricane Katrina a picture was published showing a black man carryring a basket with green bottles. There has develop an entire "pulp culture" on the internet which has taken his head and placed it on top of other pictures. One of my students in my course wrote analysis of the pictures which is insightful. She is white and in her own word she is "an Ultra-Conservative Republican. . . intelligent enough to spot racism when I see it and I am bold enough to call it racism when I see it. Thinking something is funny does not make it less racist." I wish I had a 1000 more students like her.

Picture 4, M.J. Lootie. Seriously, you can’t see what’s racist about this? You’ve taken a positive Black male image and replaced it with a man you believe to be the lowest scum of the earth. You are saying that all Black men are the same, criminals and superstars alike. Would you have thought it was funny if it were a White looter’s head on top of M.J. body? And why M.J. why not someone who has a drinking or drug problem like Martin Lawrence or Darryl Strawberry? Wouldn’t that have made more sense that choosing someone who’s never been accused of alcoholism.

Some people just have wayyyyy too much time on their hands to be bitching about comedy like this.

Picture 12, Darth Vader Looter. I’m sure it was by accident that the Black man is being associated with a monsterous evil villain who wasn’t there for his son. Just another perpetuation of Black men not being strong father figures.

Picture 3, Braveheart meets “Lootie.” In fact, the man you call “Lootie” was essentially fighting for his freedom against the waters that were holding him captive.
If this cat is serious, then he/she needs to stop investing in law school, and buy a clue.
On the other hand, could be a clever ploy to get an "A" on an assignment. Just goes to show you can spin anything any way you'd like to attempt to achieve a desired result, regardless whether it's right or wrong.

I am a law student, a 2L. The pictures created quite a conversation piece in my Race & Racism in American Law class today.

Wow, they are going way too deep with this. It's about putting a funny looking guys head on random other photos.

Wow. That law student is either really mad or an incredible troll. Either way, I lol 'd. Would be a good topic for the poli board.

what I find funny is she is mad that Looties face is put on a "positive figure" like MJ but also mad that he is put on "a villain" like Darth Vader.
WTF?
WTF?

she is really reaching on this one:
I'm suuuuure that's what the artist was thinking
quote:
Picture 7, Lootie needs a make-over. This one might be a little harder for you to pick up on, but the connotation is that Lootie can be made over into a nice metrosexual who won’t cause anymore problems. He’s not good enough the way he is. He’d be better if he’d join the culture of the White man. You could even go so far as to say it shows that he’d be better off as a Gay White man than as a Black man with any sexual preference.

I'm thinkin' that Lootie would love the MJ pic.

seriously, some of these frickers need to get over the whole 'white guilt' thing. i've never owned or beaten any slaves or massacred any indians. i didn't frick with illegal immigrants or drop a bomb on hiroshima. it's okay to be caucasian, or any other ethnicity.

That article was just stupid. "Lootie and the Blowfish" is racist because it was an attempt to make fun of an african american with a drug addiction problem. No, dumbass, it was because "Lootie" sounds like "Hootie"...and it is friggin funny. This girl is definitely mad.

Yep. But you can't found a ridiculous paper off of that notion.

I think Lootie took advantage of his opportunities and fame. He graduated from college..
Then later went on to become a distinguished physics professor.

I wonder what their thoughts would be on my Rodrigue-inspired "Blue Looter"...
