As I was a newbie schooled on this phenomenon somewhat recently, may I pass along that you can relax... The "racist" bit is a snarky theme amongst courtooners, having no basis in the actual courtoon at hand, which is the tongue-in-cheek point. Get it? As in poking fun at the annoying propensity out there of "some people" to pinpoint anything as "racist", regardless of any actual racism? It's OK, I felt silly after my exasperated rant, too.... ;) @ Slum Shady….

But doesn't that make YOU racist? @ Kiwi Lawyer Since when did 'damn' become the lingual prerogative of african americans? Pretty sure the word was coined by a white person. The fact that you feel the remark is characteristic of black people makes YOU racist. Not the Courtoon. Why is this still happening after we've elected a black president? There is a place out there and I know it is close to love; there is place where we can take our children and heal them and make the world a better place. If we give and share, we can live and care. Shamon *hiccup* Heeeeee heee *grunt* owww. @ Jeremy

Do lots of plaintiff's attorney's own wineries? I know a good number of plaintiff's attorney's here in Oklahoma... a few own wheat fields but no vineyards. Regional differences I guess. I’m confused.

The bad-ass reindeer’s “damn” could be considered a stereotype of “the black guy” character.

Next he’ll be dropping ebonics all over the show “Your submissions are wack son”…
