This was a very interesting article to read from CNN. I had never really heard of a cartoon character igniting such controversy before. As I read the article, I was able to understand the problem that people of the African American heritage would have with the appearance of the main character Memin. Additionally, I became thought of the supposed dislike between Latinos and African Americans. If a hispanic person is able to create a comic like this then they are aware enough of the backlash that could come from black people in the United States as a result.
It is incidents such as these that prevent our country from moving ahead as one nation. Although people will always be able to recognize a difference in skin color, it does not mean that everyone needs to look at the person "inside" differently.
