Talk:Cry for Help/@comment-32175182-20170715015703

In the case of Garnet, in the terms of racial representation, Pearl was trying to fuse with Garnet to use her for her strength in the episode "Cry for Help". To use Garnet for her power, is, in a lot of ways, how black people were used during slavery. When it comes to Garnet, she, in this case, spoke up, and I like that. She made it clear that she has feelings, that she is able to feel, have problems with these things, and have problems in general. In the episode "Keystone Motel", when Ruby and Sapphire split apart, it created this sort of duality. On one side, Sapphire wants to move past the situation and figure things out from there in a more calm and civilized manner. On the other side, there's Ruby, who was just angry. Who was just upset, and just outraged by this, and it sort of mirrors that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X.

Now I don't want to get too far into politics, but Malcom X is viewed as a villain. But I want you to know, with out one, the other cannot work. The other cannot create a change. Same thing with Gahandi and his whole situation. Simple disobedience only looks good when you have something to fear, when the alternative is unexceptable, when you are afraid. And it's sad that it has to go to that place, but it's to the point where it's necessary. Whe need to have that balanced. That the only way change occurs. People will complain about writing and this and that, and that whole thing is bad; it's ugly, it's terrible to see. But if that doesn't exist, you won't listen to me. And that's the saddest thing. If people do not notice something bad, and their not afraid of the alternative, then they'll just laugh at you and not give a care. So, Garnet's representation (Ruby and Sapphire) was great in this StevenBomb.
