Since Pangea broke and the world was divided into continents. People in different parts of the world developed different hues.

White cops have shot far too many black people. Look it up.

You obviously do not understand political cartoons and or satire.

Its backwards because you are calling me a racist. Yes, I do believe that everyone is a little racist. But to try and flame me because I am attempting to make a point about something I feel to be wrong is just sort of backwards imo.

White people are people.
Look, I understand that you have pure intentions here. But the fact is you are missing the point. I am offended by this, because it is wrong.
The type of outlook you are suggesting is naive.
If the cartoonist had meant for this to be seen the way you are suggesting, he could have taken steps to be sure it was not misinterpreted. He could have put a sign around the monkeys neck that said "congress: or he could have given one of the officers are bit of shade (but oh noes! that would be racist to acknowledge that there are black people!).
EDIT: I will no longer give you the time it takes to separately quote your response. Just a heads up.

I'm not missing the point. In fact, I understand it completely. The prestigious symbols of white people killing the insulting symbol of a black man, showing dominance and supremacy by means of violence, as it had been done so many times in the past. The whites being represented by strong, trustworthy police, the black man being represented by a stupid, ignorant monkey.
I understand your point.
I understand your point.
