Keef_racecard“…They put this in the paper thinking it would be funny. How funny is it when it’s real? When you see someone walking around with a noose on their neck, it’s not as funny no more.”

Keef’s response

Why is it college students are getting pissed over Keef’s comics lately? This doesn’t say much for the future of the youth of America…

“I t gets to the point where we don’t have a word that we use to call people racist who actually are.”

The above quote explains today’s cultural climate regarding race. The word “racist” is too often the word of choice by a Black person who is criticized or suffers a personal setback. It doesn’t help that professional poverty pimps like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson play into this “faux racism” mindset.

Even comics aren’t immune. For example, some Reggie Hudlin fans would lob the “r-bomb” at those who didn’t like the writer’s run on Black Panther. These racist charges were silly since:

a. Some of Hudlin’s critics were Black.

b. These critics were fans of the Black Panther comics penned by Priest, who is also Black.

Thus, I’m not surprised by Keef’s cartoon being accused of the very racism it’s condemning.
