Actor and comedian Jim Carrey is accused of whitening Areas Franklin, who died earlier this week, in a cartoon he created and who shows the legendary soul singer several shades lighter than she was in real life .

Carrey placed his cartoon of Franklin on Twitter on August 16 and wrote: "Look how beautiful a life can be. Thanks, Aretha!"

In the two days since he placed an image of his cartoon, but people disagree with the way Carrey Franklin portrayed.

"But why is she white?" asked Twitter user @ Grrocket in the first answer to the tweet by Carrey.

"Bruh, Jim Carrey tried to paint Aretha Franklin and eventually he painted this racist white woman", wrote @fookalo, Carrey & # 39; s cartoon coincided with a photograph of British journalist Katie Hopkins. Others say that the cartoon of Carrey Franklin is similar to the American actress Kathy Bates.

Others are not worried about the way Carrey Franklin drew and compares his cartoon to works of fine artists.

"The whole * skin color * argument is full of such small-mindedness … Do you ask why Matisse painted a woman with a green face? & # 39; asked Beatriz Anzures Trejo

This is not the First time Carrey caused a stir with his visual arts, and in recent years he has made a series of cartoons that criticize the Trump administration.

Earlier this month, he told a group of TV critics that he was the Trump-related visual art makes as a "reflex to what I see. "
