lord knows i love me some Bugs Bunny. but this dude, like so many, are guilty of falling in even when falling in allowed others to get tread upon. and i know i may sound a lil funny right now speakin about a cartoon like he had a choice, but everyone behind the cartoon had a choice, all the way up to Jack Warner (Warner Brothers Pictures), and this is what they chose.
its important to note that every time Bugs used to say, "What a maroon!" that he was also making a racially degrading statement. maroons were what black people who ran away from slavery and lived in the mountains or in the "wilderness" with the "Indians" were called. its also important to note that this is also a take on the word MOOR, which we all know refers to black people. this is how yall got that good hair you love to boast about, talkin bout "i got Indian in my family". well, me too, but thats not the point here...
