I Have a Well Developed and Finely Tuned Ability to Make Things Up but Even I Am Taken Aback (Whatever That Means) At the Silliness of This Foolishness

White People to Stop Voicing Minority Characters in ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Family Guy’

(I decided to bold the Confusion Words. I thought about bolding every word in the entire article but my computer was going to run out of bolded words capacity.)

Considering the way our world is being torn asunder these days this is not surprising...

A white voice actor who played a minority character in “Family Guy” said he’s leaving the role after 20 years.

Also, the Simpsons producers said in the future no white actors would be allowed to voice nonwhite characters.

A white voice actor, Mike Henry, who voiced Cleveland Brown, a black character, in “Family Guy,” said earlier he wouldn’t do so any longer.

“It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on ‘Family Guy’ for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role,” he said in a social media statement.

Kristen Bell, who voiced Molly, a mixed race character on the animated series “Central Park,” said on social media, “This is a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity. Here is one of mine. Playing the character of Molly on ‘Central Park’ shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege. Casting a mixed race character with a white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and black American experience,” she wrote.

Jenny Slate said she initially thought it was okay to voice Missy, a mixed race character, on “Big Mouth.”

“I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play Missy because her mom is Jewish and White—as am I,” Slate wrote on social media. “But Missy is also black, and black characters on an animated show should be played by black actors. I acknowledge how my original reasoning was flawed, that it existed as an example of white privilege and unjust allowances made within a system of social white supremacy, and that in me playing Missy, I was engaging in an act of erasure of black people.”

This is Fella, "Erasure?"

Lagniappe: Does it seem like we are slipping down the Slippery Slope towards George Orwell’s 1984 more and more every day?

In the story of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Thinkpol (Thought Police) are responsible for the detection and elimination of thoughtcrime, and for the social control of the populations of Oceania, by way of audio-visual surveillance and offender profiling. Such psychological monitoring allows the Thought Police to detect, arrest, and kill thought criminals, citizens whose independence (intellectual, mental, and moral) challenges the political orthodoxy of Ingsoc (English Socialism) and thus the legitimate government authority of the Party. In the detection of thoughtcrime—and to overcome the physical impossibility of simultaneously policing every citizen of Oceania—the Thinkpol spy upon the populace through ubiquitous two-way telescreens, and so can monitor any person's body language, reflexive speech, and facial expressions.
