Funny how Koterba was attempting to make a political comment, and ended up making a completely different one…

Hmmmnnn….I see what he was doing here…I think it could have been done better. My guess is the comments about ‘gangsta rappers’ being black were said to the editor…once you hear that your interpretation of the cartoon changes. Still up today though in 2011!

Eleanora: “The joke is about bending over backwards to avoid the hyperirritability of minorities that have been cultured over the last fifty years in the name of lofty, humanistic ideals.”

Racial sensitivity is a product of hundreds of years of oppression, not fifty years of political correctness.

To Sandy: “the way of dressing style clearly explains these pictures are pointing to those people”
Really, do you actually think that “those people” only dress in this manner? I would say the only obvious thing about the cartoon is that it is a complete failure.

I appreciated the cartoon, but now that I’ve read the comments, I feel a bit sheepish.

Great cartoons by Harry Reid!! but though used the light skin color tone, the words “Black”,”Negro” or “African-American” and the way of dressing style clearly explains these pictures are pointing to those people. However, his thought was really good!!! thanks.

I didn’t even think much about the skin tones, I was bothered about the word ‘negro’.

In reply to Wallace Cleaver. Not funny, just racist? That's Jeff Koterba for you.
