Gah! What depths have you been dredging to find this crap?
For what definition of racism are you asking?
I've seen that Cartoon used many times on Stormfront, one would think yes, it is racist.
The intent of the cartoon is clear enough. The fact that those who self identify as white supremacists would use it to further their "cause" is only further confirmation.So who says something determines whether it is racist?

The artwork is unequivocally racist, and so are many of the overtones behind it.
All of that aside, however, it does raise a valid point concerning how the racially charged media firestorms of recent years have tended to play out.
I doubt this graphic has anything to do with media, it probably had more to do with some racist bastard, sitting in his mother's basement with nothing better to do between klan meetings.
Let's keep this thread about the cartoon. I don't mean to be a dick, but the thread getting personal would ruin discussion of the cartoon.
I don't know.
I can't even read the cartoon its so small.
I just know the specific depiction of the black character is used in numerous cartoons on Stormfront.
I can browse other threads and point people to other racist graphics too.
Seems fairly spot on to me. :shrug:
1. Minority male commits a crime, and winds up dead/injured/roughly incarcerated for it.
2. Media picks up on the story, deliberately going out of its way to play up the testimony of the "victim's" clearly biased and non-credible hoodrat friends and family.
3. Race hucksters and Left Wing pundits who benefit from racial strife pick up the cause and run with it.
4. Self-righteous "bleeding heart" types consume the propaganda, blindly throw in their support, and make the already precarious situation into a frenzy.
Now, yea. Granted, whoever made the cartoon is clearly a racist scumbag.
The point the cartoon was trying to make still manages to be a salient one in spite of itself, however.
Its racist because of the disparaging attributes, not because of the narrative.
Obviously. Let's not.
I chose Other. I think it tries to portray Michael Brown as something a little
less than the "angel" being projected by a black community defending him
just because he is black. Rascism can work both directions, don't ya' know?
