announced that white actors would no longer be voicing Black characters on the show, and now Harry Shearer has been replaced by veteran voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson in the role of Dr. Julius Hibbert, Deadline has confirmed.

Shearer had been the voice of Dr. Hibbert since the character’s debut more than 30 years ago. Shearer will continue to voice his other characters Including Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner and Mr. Burns. Fox confirmed to Deadline that last night’s “Diary Queen” episode featuring Shearer as the voice of Dr. Hibbert was his last, and Richardson will take over the character’s voice beginning Sunday, February 28.‘ new policy followed Family Guy veteran Mike Henry announcement last year that he would no longer voice the black Cleveland Brown character on Fox’s long-running animated hit.

Will Disney now be replacing James Earl Jones with a 'White' actor for all Darth Vader roles in future Star Wars spin offs? How flipping ridiculous!!!

Racism is over. Thank god.

ClevelandJr is Trigon, Mammoth, See-More in Teen Titans Go... He has my vote!

Lol I’m glad with this decision, but this was not a stereotypical character. There is literally not a stereotype that black people are doctors.

Who is that guy, Black Actor?

« Black actor », it says a lot

Is he a doctor too? Better be. Why should anyone pretend to be something when you can hire the actual thing?

How about replacing all the actors with no-one at all?

The black actor doesn’t have a name? Lmao oh man

I noticed the new Carl this season, what took so long to replace Hibbert?

LOL you’re going to get in such trouble for saying “black actor” and not his name
