I appologize, I know this is for a serious cause... but some of these have made me lol at work. I laugh everytime I see the Ewing one. Some of the others look so funny. Barry Bonds looks naked, and Magic Johnson looks like Bill Cosby.

Why are there like no football players on the list? And one of the two football players (who happen to be two star athletes) is Deion Sanders who is portrayed with a baseball bat and uniform, like he was more known for being a baseball player than a CB? WTF?

This is rather odd... Mike Tyson, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Tim Hardaway...

At least you just have to print out Michael Jackson and it's already done.

Of all the people listed, how did they choose Daman Wayans to be the guy featured in the example at the top of the page?

I thought that was Wilbon before I saw it coloured in. And then I thought it was Samuel L. Jackson.

I can't help but think what kinds of messages this thing sends. How much more entertainers and sports figures there are listed here. How is that "history?"

In addition, how is Malcolm X not listed?
MikeVic
08-10-2007, 03:21 PM
Maybe the guy could only draw celebrities.

Probably omitted in favor of convicted rapist Mike Tyson.

edit to add: Or how convicted criminal Winnie Mandela was included in the politics section but Condi Rice was left out.

I like that Rickey Henderson is there though. And Griffey looks like he has a fat head.

Jon, Condi's not black, she's Republican.

Either Muddy Waters has a really small guitar, or he has huge hands. Jesus, look at the meat hooks on that guy.

I guess "The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show" wasn't on long enough to really impact your life.

The Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston pics would have worked better if combined as an action shot.

As far as I can tell, it's serious. I was looking for a Patrick Ewing pic for this thread (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=60230), and found that funny one on this site...

Shaq looks like Cletus T. Yokel in that drawing.

And no Martin Luther King, Jr? But Luis Farrakhan is included?

Hmm.

Is that black African-American British guy who races cars and is black in there? You know, what's-his-name, the black guy.

Colin Powell-R is in the history section with the dead people. Yikes.

(If that's not a hint and a half to black people - you better keep voting Democrat or else!)

How come there aren't any klansmen or Headmaster Wizards or whatever in the black history coloring book? Aren't they part of the history? Is this book RACIST?

Then again, it's pretty easy to color the white hoods.
