Blog 6 Family Guy

In the fan video posted by Dabrat242 “Family Guy Fan Video” Dabrat242. “Family Guy Fan Video” You Tube July 21 2008 < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kMnCk0LQ88 > 03/08/2009, she focuses on the stereotypical issues that face that are expressed in the show Family Guy, throughout it’s series The way that this correlates with some of the readings I have completed is specifically directed to the attitudes towards women.

In the report from Okinawa, she explains that black women feel that there is no love from the world. “Many black women feel that we live lives in which there is little of no love” “Living to Love” Women’s Lives Multicultural Perspectives Fourth edition (1993) p. 231 From reading this passage continuously, I have come to the conclusion that she believes that there is no love from the world specifically to black women. This is something I have noticed from the clip, was that they show one of the main characters wife, named Loretta is shown as being a moody women, with a stranglehold on her husband. Aside from the clip, this is something that is expressed consistently throughout the show as well.

The creator of the clip is representing the off the wall type of show that Family Guy is. It shows wacky moments such as a baby holding a gun, or the main character Peter thinking as if though he was an infant. It did a great job of voicing how the characters in the show, are each representing a different part of culture that we have here in the United States. I believe when it comes to oppression, the main reference that the creator of the clip is showing, is the fact that we as a society are still not comfortable around one another. There were clips where you would see a black man and a white man, and they both had looks of confusion on their face, rather than smiles. This clip is speaking out to everyone, because it shows It shows that our nation, although has over come so much together, still can’t unite as one.
