Have you ever seen a black cartoon character that just absolutely ruined your day? I have, and it was Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. In this post we'll talk about how many ugly black cartoon characters there are out there (and how many white ones), but first let's start with an introduction to Oscar himself:
The Black Panther
The Black Panther is a black superhero who was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He's the king of Wakanda and has a black costume, mask and weapons.
The Black Panther's powers include superhuman strength, speed and agility, but he can also use his claws to make his hands into weapons (like swords or spears).
Soulja Boy
Soulja Boy is a rapper and actor who became famous for his song "Turn My Swag On". He's also known for being good at basketball, football, and dancing.
Mr. Pickles
Mr. Pickles is a cartoon character who first appeared in the comic strip "For Better or For Worse" by former cartoonist Lynn Johnston and her husband, Richard Thompson. The blue-colored Mr. Pickles was created in 1994 as a replacement for the orange dog with white spots that had been in the comics since 1995 (though he wasn't named until 1997).
Mr. Pickles' name comes from Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women: "The next morning they all went out to breakfast at Mr. Laurence's where I thought there were more guests than usual."
Oscar the Grouch
You've probably heard of Oscar the Grouch. He's a grouch who lives in a garbage can and has been featured on Sesame Street since 1969, but he may seem familiar if you've ever watched one of those old-school Muppet Babies episodes. In those shows (and many others), Oscar was voiced by Frank Oz—the man behind such iconic characters as Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Yoda—and his appearance remains largely unchanged over the years: he's an orange trash can with a man's face on it.
Oscar will always be loved by fans because of his unique personality: he's an angry guy who doesn't like other people or things around him; even when other characters try to help him out by giving him gifts or toys for his birthday party at Christmas time every year (which means they have to wait until March), nothing seems to make Oscar happy!

Conclusion

While some may argue that these characters are simply representations of our society's negative stereotypes, we believe they deserve more than just being called ugly or funny.
