‘I am being silenced over white feelings from a gag comic’: Black comic artist on her work being pulled from newspapers

“We have notified the syndicate that provides the comic that we will no longer be running Six Chix in our newspaper as a result,” the apology read. “We’ve also requested an apology from them. Our apologies for a cartoon that reflected the exact opposite of what we stand for as a newspaper.”“Bianca created the July 28, 2020, ‘Six Chix’ cartoon to be a joke commenting on how Black issues are often disregarded as a personal problem and not a systemic issue,” Fougner said.

“I am not apologizing for this comic and this censorship,” Xunise said. She explained how there was no misunderstanding behind the messaging of her comic strip. Xunise added that the comic went through two checkpoints: one with her editors and another with the newspaper editors that made the final decision to publish it.

NBCBLK As we lay, silence is golden. Brown babies, will always be censored. When the other way round, nothing seems to transpire.... Hmmm me thinks in all avenues, the scales are very unbalanced, with no end or changes on the horizon.

NBCBLK Defending free speech doesn't sound so bad now does it?

NBCBLK Karens setting the white folks back, again. 120 newspapers...wow. I do like you comic. Do you have a book? I would buy it.

NBCBLK Its my hope that in time the complaints will list priportion if those who were black that were not fans and thise who were not to see if as the cartoonist said its a white thing. Also its not up to her if xyz paper that normally runs her comic doesnt like it and makes an apology

NBCBLK k. I don't support cancelling you. But I bet you cheer when others are canceled.

NBCBLK There’s no reason why they should have removed her cartoon. This is bullshit

NBCBLK I didn't understand the cartoon or see any reason to be upset about it.

NBCBLK It's neat to see that newspapers still have comics. Her joke reminds me of a family circus gag where Dolly asks 'daddy why do people smoke?, it must hurt to be on fire'. Cool to see comics are still going strong.

NBCBLK That comic sucks. Isabella can't breathe either, thanks to an evil black person. She wasn't hopped up on 10 different drugs nor was she trying to steal from people, nor was she resisting arrest. Where tf is her comic strip, Bianca?

NBCBLK Welcome to the party of whatever you say, feel or think is cancellable (new word).

NBCBLK She shouldn't have added the blue to the eyes. It made it racist.

NBCBLK She's obviously a racist trying to get publicity.

NBCBLK Any censorship is bad

NBCBLK Silence her.

Latest entry in the 'Victimhood Sweepstakes.' POC still hold a commanding lead.

The left has gone to the crazies

The priorities of NBC dont align with the public, nor with reality. I wonder how their laughable business model is able to tread water...
