Why don’t you put that sharp point in the hands of the organizaers of the No On 8 campaign who didn’t organize, didn’t educate, and didn’t mount a significant opposition effort until it became clear that their complacency had been exploited by the Mormons and other conservative organizations?

The Los Angeles Times has a map that tells the story: The proposition went down to defeat in almost every county with a minority population of any size. The rest of the state—the Redwood Empire, the Central Valley, and the Inland Empire—was solid in its support. I’m told that the advertising against the initiative was English only. I visit progressive websites every day and I saw no anti-8 ads until just before the election.

Anyone who know anything about California politics knows that the biggest burden of proof in any ballot proposition lies on the “no” side.

As it stands, the cartoon smacks of racism, identifies the wrong reasons that Proposition 8 passed and does nothing constructive to move us forward… like advocating for the Obama administration to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” immeidately.

I don’t agree with the cartoon’s message. There are many people who voted for prop. 8, not only African Americans, although they were a great factor. To demonize them IS NOT the solution. A lot of money was spend in both ways and the gay community did not talk that much with African Americans (according to msnbc).

To use the pink triangle and allude to Nazis is very ridiculous, in my opinion. It’s almost like saying that the African American community is somehow similar to Nazis, which is preposterous in every way.

When I was listening to Air America a gay African American woman said she heard awful things from the gay community, who were oblivious to the fact that she too was gay.

I am heterosexual and profoundly supportive of same-sex marriage. I’m also a white girl who voted for Obama. To me this cartoon is racist, portering every African American as hypocrite.

Every time we generalize a group of people we are pre-judging them, which is not good.

I think the pink triangle represents gay rights, proposition 8, Obama’s and Biden’s opposition to gay marriage, etc.

I think it is a comment that the black voters in CA voted against prop 8 with a vengeance. I don’t know know what the pink shape is, part of a symbol?

It’s a pink triangle, I think Jon Stewart summed it up pretty well when he said ” It only took one day for the oppressed to become the oppressors”

That’s not a pink slip, it’s a pink triangle, and the comment is about “equality for all”, except, some people are more equal than others in America. and quite a few people want it that way; the voters of “Yes” on Proposition 8 in California, and elsewhere.

This cartoon addresses the ongoing inequality and oppression of gay Americans, the pink triangle being the symbol Nazi’s used to sew on the uniforms of gay prisoners to be exterminated in concentration camps.

One day, perhaps, America can live up to it’s marketing with actual liberty and justice, for all.

I don’t get this one either.  Red states? Prop 8? Ballot? And who does the guy in glasses represent?  Too subtle for me.

hmmmm….i’m not sure i get this.  is that supposed to be a pink slip that that “working class..[i hate that fn term]” african american gent just brutaly perforated ??  the poor pink slip appears to be pleading for his life !
