    I am receiving reports that this comic is racist. Correct me if I am wrong. Although the story itself depicts an extremely racist and violent event, it seems more like a protest against the racism that was the norm in society at the time.

    Pretty much the conservative argument against civil rights in a single panel. To be clear, I don’t think anyone is interested in “ruling” those poor stooges of the republican grift machine, but I think nothing scares them more than the idea of black folks (or women, or “the gays”) in positions of equality or authority.

    They fear that their own transgressions will be revisited upon them. That they might actually reap what they have sown.
