I thought this was "Best Political Cartoons," not "Bash On Whitey."

I have conservative relatives who have made all of these arguments (except the liberal one).

I honestly can't see anything wrong with asserting that white people are also the target of racism and that it should be included in the discussion of racism.
Is there any way in this cartoon to be a white person and not have to feel like a terrible human being for it?

I agree, anti-white racism is a thing that should be included in the discussion. However, it isn't the form of prejudice most likely to influence laws, media, etc. so it tends to be a low-priority topic. #6 tends to be used as a deflective or dismissive argument when the topic of racism comes up (or at least that's been my experience- the only people I've talked to who didn't turn its existence into "proof that blacks are more racist and violent than whites" have been one younger sister, and a few online people).

EDIT: Aaaand my 10,000th post is about fascism, Plato, and gay sex. This is clearly a great accomplishment.

However, in parts of Australia it can mean excellent or very good.

Lol, Aussies!

Used to mean that in most parts of the world.  "You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum.  You're the melody from a symphony by Strauss!  You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare Sonnet, you're Mickey Mouse!"

Then came the Mickey Mouse watches, which were cheap, didn't keep good time, and broke easily.  Turned the whole meaning around.

"Together we fall" feels like the natural punchline to that.

In Canada, united we fall, divided we stand.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Ok...

Well we see the furry cup and the threeheaded dino from the older comics in the background... Those were explained previously. There is the fat cat in a suit, apparently sleeping in the back as well and I assume that he presents the "fat cats."

Some dude in a striped suit has his head up his ass and some vultures on his arm.

The snake seems to be a caricature of someone but I do not recognise him, or the victim.

On the ground there seems to be a... Face?

That pile of shit looks a lot like Rupert Murdoch. If that is who he represents then there is one figure that I have recognised.

Haven't got the slightest clue of whose arm is sticking out from the shit though.

Welp, I've tried my best deciphering that comic and now everything tastes like purple. My head is a blanket and I can smell everything except myself.

The badgers are cmonig!
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!

The character being eaten looks like Cameron, although I've never noticed the ruby slippers before.  I can see Clegg's pinocchio-arm sticking out of the pile of shit, but that's about it.

So it goes.



Wait, I thought this was the "Best Political Cartoons" thread, not the "Weird Furry Fetishes" thread :P

Maybe Ctrak really, really liked that comic? I mean 'best' is just a matter of personal opinion here.
