the simpsons and racism update

in my previous post on this i got a few things wrong the simpsons actually has 3 major black characters and 3 more minor ones however as i said none have ever been major players in a story line and really they could better be described as reacering characters if you disagree with me then heres the list and if you don't disagree with me then heres the listlenny/carl i can never remember which one is whatblack policeman can't remember his nameDr hibbertand his wifelisa black friendbarts black class mateactually there is one black cast member who has had story lines in which he is a major player and perhaps even the main focus bleeding gums murthy but they killed him offanother point against the show is that one of their many many white characters mr smithers in this case used to be black but was changed also the colour of the background players used to be more racialy mixed but as they started to give more deffinition to those miner characters more and more of them became white and less and less of them stayed black.
