Pulitzer-Prize-winning political cartoonist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – and avid Daily Kos reader – Mike Lukovich has created an iconic political cartoon. In my view, it's the most powerful, evocative visual representation of the injustices America has witnessed, and the black community has suffered, these past two weeks.
Here's Separate, Unequal:
The body laying on the ground could be Eric Garner or Mike Brown, both of whom were robbed of justice by the grand jury process after their lives had already been taken. But the body laying still, motionless really represents the black community in America, evoking a deadly Jim Crow, reinvented and housed where justice in this country resides.
Or, if you're a minority in America, where justice has yet to fully reside.
centuries coming how many more before it's realized in full, how many more of our generations will have to live with the stigma of racial inequality, injustice, voter suppression, war against our women, our worth in the job arena, our courts and our police who seem to have found away to lower prison overcrowding with minor offenses with a major reduction in the Black culture.
are they still honoring those founding guys by treating us as 3/5ths of a human?
