NYCartist;
If that’s what you see then it may take you another day to figure out that you don’t get the artist metaphorical suggestion as to whom is being racist.And that maybe, given the fact that your ideas about black folk have been informed from reading such material growing up it is your perception that is projecting the stereoptyped images upon the characters in the drawing.

Because frankly, they don’t resemble those images really; that is of course, if you consider depicting Black people with black skin in a B/W drawing racists stereo typing.

It’s deeper than that really.

Took me almost a whole day to figure out why this cartoon bothers me: it looks like the racial stereotyping that was in my childhood books, such as “Little Black Sambo” in the 1940s.
