FYI, Churchy, the last (known) racist murders in Texas was carried out bythree guys all registered Republicans. Look it up. No, not the two in Paris, TX…those charges were dropped!
The toon is about people going to India to find jobs?
^Those “Southern Democrats” prior to the Civil Rights Act, are now called REPUBLICANS. The KKK was not, and is not today “all Democrats”. Don’t confuse the parties on false notions. Teddy Roosevelt was also a REPUBLICAN. Thomas Jefferson was a “Democratic Republican”- yep- look it up.
Is there confusion what this ‘toon is about after all this time?
It’s simply a play on Arabian mythology of flying carpets which is depicted as a smart phone which can be used to twitter, or update facebook online, helping protestors in Egypt (pyramids in the background, other Arab/oil stereotypes includes camels, a mosque (?) an oil derrick…) achieve their aims.
Oh, well, if Churchy says it it must be so. Never mind the evidence in front of you. Forget the shift from the “solid South” (Democrat) to the current crop of Red states. Churchy says it ain’t so. “Who are you going to belive me or the lying facts?”

^I said your comment didn’t bring anything useful to the conversation, not that the “Ann Coulter on a broom” joke was smarter.
What’s next? Are you going to say there were no public lynching of blacks in the South?
