Betty Boop Always Been Black

Well…Betty boop was said to be a real person and that she was BLACK😭 them folks white washed her

to see people say shes white when i did a whole project in sixth grade on baby esther, the black woman who betty boop is based off of, is so exhausting. 😭 its been written that she is based off of black women so many times people just argue to argue at this point

Betty Boop was based off of the real life Baby Esther, so yeah... #BBABBB 💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️

PBS wrote a retraction that adds a lot of context if you want to read it!

@soulaaangel Nah she gotta be black cause I have never seen a why gurl with a pixie cut🤷🏾‍♂️

Obvious thing to say ik but the ppl criticising this have probably never gave a rat's ass about Betty Boop until now

Josephine Baker energy kinda, so totally tracks

based

So without bothering to ask if they wanted a human,I started drawing a little girl dog.I had a song sheet of Helen Kane and the spit curls came from her.I put cute legs on her and long ears.I supposed I used a French poodle for the basic idea of the character."The Fleischer Story

I honest to God thought she was white😭

She look Mexican to me
