One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for April 30, 2022

Latifah is primarily of Arabic origin and means Elegant, Kind, Gentle, or Delicate. What does that have to do with killer bees?

I didn’t know OBH was into Dad jokes…

Why not Katherine Hepburn?

Seems like this now this would be a bit racist…

Quern Latifah is American. Can we stop acting like black people whose families have been here for centuries are foreigners? Maybe when you do re-runs, skip the racist ones

Oh Rick, you did NOT just go there…

Ironically, there is a band called “Killer Bee”, so he could have used one of their names, if anyone recognized them…

So dad offers a joke to calm his kids and riles us up with his racism.

Ruthie mentions Dr. Oz in Sunday’s comic Creators.com.

To me this would be funny when I was a kid, but as an adult I think it is culturally insensitive at best if not racist. To assume all African Americans have African style names, or that all Africans have uncommon European names is wrong. Over half my African American friends have common European names.
