Rasheed, Muhammad. "The Insane Version of Smart." Cartoon. The Official Website of Cartoonist M. Rasheed 05 Aug 2021. Pen & ink w/Adobe Photoshop color.
ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION
This #MRasheedCartoons image was inspired by the uninformed comments of of one of the more nutso characters on a certain message board, in which he decided to make an MS Paint graphic based on his admittedly poorly understood grasp of my critique of Black immigrants hostile against my ethnic group's pro-Reparations and economic inclusion activism.
The root cause of his confusion is the fact that, in the white racist aristocracy's greed-fueled and cowardly efforts to duck & hide from the cold hand of justice, they created a false narrative stripping racism of it's economic oppression base, to replace it with a surface-level "skin color prejudice" strawman effigy — basically a grotesque caricature of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "content of character" line. Of course, if you tell a lie often enough you'll start to believe it, so when the nutso character saw the Federal Reserve chart data that proved that Black immigrants hold a median net worth comparable to whites, he assumed that meant that white supremacy was a fiction. The reality is what #ADOS has been saying all along: that America's peculiar institution has been lineage based, not race based and is designed to prevent the Black American former slave class specifically from sharing wealth, land and rule with the Über-selfish white dominant identity group.

"One day, I saw two Africans go in with robes and turbans [into a whites only establishment during jim crow]. They couldn't speak English. I heard the manager say, 'Let them in. They're not Negroes.' Something's wrong that I can't assess — I'm Black and they're also Black (they're not blue!) but they went in." ~Muhammad Ali [VIDEO]
