Like it is super bad and needs to be recognized for that, it's just that this being the one to do it tickles me at everyone's pure untainted innocence.
I been reading this (and other of the right wing watch threads on here) for enough years that I question my sanity. Any innocence I had is long cold and dead yet I still find that cartoon in extremely poor taste and a strong contender for the Gaybies.

I wouldn't worry to hard about it seeing as we will all be dead by then.

Definitely Ramirez will be the first to turn, Branco I see going full steam into conspiracy mode about how congress is made up of fake Republicans that turned on the defender of the country like what happened to Caesar.

Ashley Judd on January 12 in a Facebook post about the Women's March posted:

“If you’re other than white, you have to scroll to search for an emoji of color that more closely resembles your experince [sic],” the actor wrote. “A little thing, perhaps. But … what if emojis, came, standard issue, in black? So WE whites had to scroll to find a color that more accurately resembled US? Multiply that times the incalculable. … And that gives me a glimpse of what it may be like to be a person of [color] in a white-centric world. Everything set to the standard of whiteness, everything else a variation thereof.”

She even says in the post that it's kind of a small issue but is trying to make a point but all Tinsley and his ilk could get out of it was EMOJIS ARE RACIST.

Bet conservative media is glad they don't have to pay attention to the presidency anymore so they can scour the social media of obscure celebrities and criticize what they think they are trying to say.

The default is SUPPOSED to be a non-human skintone. I think the recommendations are grey and blue. Microsoft USED TO do it right but they changed to yellow too. (Default followed by all skintone modifiers: 🖕🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿)

Now I want a set of emoji where the default is straight up Twi'lek blue or green.

Could be done with the long hold, like accented characters, on mobile anyway. Grey, yellow, blue default, long hold for a tone pallette. Wouldn't be a difficult way about it and it accomplishes the purpose.

There wasn't much outrage over cheeseguy's "man on the street" panel that was as close to an actual lynching photo as you can get. Get it? The joke is that an innocent man was killed! LOL!

It's not a very famous picture, though, or a prominent cartoon. I suppose if a conservative cartoonist tried to riff on the Emmett Till open casket photo that would be more monstrous.

Basically, I'm wondering aloud whether The Problem We All Live With is the greatest political cartoon in American history.

drat it! It's fine, I'm an independent contractor under the deniable asset plan where if I accidentally leak they just move me over to the disinformation division for a while. So you don't have to worry about the sweltering heat of an unseasonably warm and dry summer, plus the mounting tension from a president actively mired in scandal and cracking down on increasingly broad groups of undesirables, swelling into the sort of demonstrations that result in dozens dead and entire city blocks aflame. :wink:
