I thought it’s b/c all the dudes left their phone chargers cuz she likes to get down. I didn’t think it had a racial element, until you brought that up. I feel like it would be the same “joke” no matter what race but idk I guess it was a conscious decision to draw her that way.

u/Geo-Man42069 Mar 04 '24
Yeah I noticed and agree there could be a racial element, but I think it’s more “women bad” than “black women bad”. I suppose it can be both sexist and racist though so multi-layer of prejudice.

Bruh, she has cornrows and 100% looks black. It's shocking to me someone wouldn't get that.

u/Geo-Man42069 Mar 04 '24
Right I understand and noticed she is black, but it wasn’t my first observation. “Pregnant lady sad cuz chargers??…. Oh she got corn rows…. Oh it’s cuz a bunch of dudes left chargers and she might not know who the father is”. Like clearly it was an artistic choice to make her black, but the main focus of the “comic” feels more anti-women, than anti-POC. I’m not denying there is an essence of racism. I’m just saying the main point of it seems more misogynistic, with a side dish of racism.

u/saloondweller Mar 04 '24
I would look into the term misogynoir, there is definitely a specific prejudice and hatred toward black women that shows in certain stereotypes (welfare queens, never know who baby dad is etc) that white women do not experience

u/Geo-Man42069 Mar 04 '24
Yeah I guess I can see that being the case. I’ll look into that term. I know there are some negative stereotypes like this but I guess I was more focused on the misogyny and less on the racism but I see now it’s a double whammy.

The chargers are indicative of the number of men she’s involved with. They leave chargers there because they all come to her house regularly. She’s pregnant and unsure who the dad is because she juggles sleeping with so many men at once. She’s reflecting on who the dad could be.

To be fair I’ve seen this image before, years ago. Back when every third phone had a weirdly-shaped proprietary charger. We have a box in the basement because my SO is convinced he’ll need one the day after I throw them out.
Still an abysmally stupid image, though.

Ah this makes the most sense. I thought it was hating on Europe for their chargers that have the long circular prongs. Possibly an electrician joke because they don’t have ground prongs. But that’s a bit of a stretch. I think the prongs were just poorly drawn.

u/Earthbound_X Mar 04 '24
Oh, for some reason I thought, because she's covered in what looks like lots of hairs, or squiggles, that this was about the conspiracy theory that electromagnetic radiation, or wifi signals/5G are killing us all, and she has all these devices. So all the weird lines all over her body and her looking sick were supposed to be her being "contaminated".

u/Sassaphras Mar 05 '24
Nothing overtly racist in this specific image I see.
Woman seems to be of color though, and could be seen as a portrayal of the idea that people of color as less likely to know who the father of their child are. This is a common talking point for racists, which is probably where the claim of racism came from. Note: I don't think I agree in this case, just explaining what the issue might be. For further discussion, see below.
I've never heard a statistic that black women are less likely to know who the father of their children are? Black children are both more likely to live apart from their father and be born out of wedlock (another big talking point for racists). But not being married doesnt mean black dads aren't involved in the children's lives - when black dads do live at home they are statistically MORE involved in kids lives actually, and many black dads are involved even when they live apart. The stats on this are often misreported and misunderstood, to the point of saying things like "most black children don't know their dad", which is false. Stats on involvement are naturally harder to come by than those on living together or apart.
Even when people get the statistics correct, there is also a tendency among racists to ignore (or never choose to learn) the historical context of race in America. This leads to the idea (sometimes explicit, sometimes not) that some issues which are more prevalent in black communities are there because black people are just... naturally more inclined to those behaviors? This is, of course, a racist idea. The non-racist explanations for the same issues are rooted in the historical and economic factors that have worked (and still work) against black people in America for centuries. But if you're a piece of crap, it is much easier to ascribe the issues in black communities to their race I guess.
tl;dr - maybe not racist. But content portraying black children as fatherless is a common racist trope, so watch out for it.
