Post-Racial Cartoon of the Day

(click to enlarge)


If you hadn't noticed the particularly nasty turn after the election (and re-election) of President Obama among the right-wing, the eruption of two racial incidents should bring it home.  The right-wing and its house organ, the Fux Network, have felt empowered to pump up radicals like Cliven "Hoof" Bundy because they push the myth that, since an African-American was elected President, we're past racial issues in this country.  Nope, and soon-to-be-former LA Clippers owner Donald "Dumbold" Sterling put an exclamation point to it a few days ago.
