Wait, why is this in worst? It seems to say that those two shouldn't have these images popping into their heads because it can only sour any attempt at communication. That's not a horrible message, as I understand it.

Yeah, seems good to me.

And Horsey is the house cartoonist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Arguably one of the most liberal daily newspapers in the US.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Okay, it's good i suppose.

I guess i didn't like it as it forgets that while both people have unfair perceptions of each other, only one has the ability to act on said perceptions in a violent way and not be punished.

Kind of like how James Byrd's killers got off scot-free... oh wait.

Cool, so genocide

1) doesn't have to be mass murderous
2) can be cultural, so long as it is
3) a series of compulsory policies that are designed to wipe out some cultural or ethnic group.

Good to see the racist community joining the rest of us in accepting Australian history.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

"The party must go wholly one way or wholly the other. It cannot face in both directions at the same time."

Okay, children, today's phrase is "false equivalence".  Can you say "false equivalence"?

The comic is about the Seattle Police Department, which has a bit of a racism problem, not white vs black.

Also, Byrd's killers weren't cops on the job, they were a bunch of inbreds who decided to drag him until he literally disintegrated.

How many people actually want a white minority?  Very few, I'd imagine.

I am going to bet that that comic has been copied from something else. I swear I've seen that "joke" done for something else, I think it was used at least in one "I'm not racist but-" "SSSHHH! Don't finish that sentence" comic. Also, it might be that it was drawn directly onto another comic. Not certain about that but at least the poses look similar to the one I had seen earlier.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

He's a professional troll.  He's not happy unless he's pissing somebody off.
