All of the characters in this could be white and it would still be true.
Bystanders are idiots. They pass judgment on a situation they do not fully understand.
The media is the reason the black vs. white situations get attention.

White people are the ones who brought black people over here in the first place. So, technically Whites started it.

I used to think this comic was a bunch of BS, till a story when cops shot a black guy who was shooting at police officers. It started on public transport, but then he started running and then pulled out a gun and started fiiring. After he was shot, a black crowd surrounded them and yelling at them, and one of the crowd members took the gun the guy dropped (which was caught on video) so people started asking about why the police shot an unarmed black guy. Later it turned out the guy was wanted for murder from another city, and later they found the gun that some black kid had stolen from the street.
Oh, and here is the video. Look at the title, then think about everything I said.

[–] farmer- 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
i think its the race factor behind why people are downvoting it.
[–] Master-Chief 2 points 1 point 3 points (+3|-2) ago
Why is it in /v/politics? Its an opinionated cartoon.

I'm pretty sure I saw this comic in Hustler in the mid 2000s.

This cartoon is just meant to divide us. And by "us" I mean people... All of us with our 99.5% genetic similarities.
[–] CokaOnly 3 points 3 points 6 points (+6|-3) ago
This comic creates the impression that the fight against police brutality is a whites v. blacks thing. Only white cops/victims and only black folks in the crowd. Also, to compare crimes like selling cigarettes illegally to murdering 3 people! Or to compare hurting someones wrist to beating them. smh.

Take the title into context, Chicago. Mostly black on black violence.
[–] ScandalOZ 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I believe that statistically most crimes that are committed are among members of the same race. White on White. Black on Black. etc.
[–] Hand-Banana 1 point -1 points 0 points (+0|-1) ago
I'm guessing you've never been to Chicago nor been harassed by the police.
[–] CowWithBeef 3 points 3 points 6 points (+6|-3) ago
Police are professionals and should be held to a much higher standard of conduct than criminals.
[–] Skrils 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Most cops are guys looking for a pension just want to do their 20 years and get out. They have an "ill get you before you get me mentality." There needs to be stricter requirements and harsher enforcement for cops. If it weeds out many of them maybe they weren't meant to be cops.
