African Americans being handed nothing at best and actively obstructed from gains at worst, does not necessarily equate to all white people being handed everything without labour or effort. (There are dirt poor white people in the South too that I am sure aren't being handed jobs and mortgages by anyone). It's the whole "us versus them" angle that I reject, not the fact that racism is the core cause of poor economic mobility among African Americans.
The issues of racism can only be solved once both sides are united in fighting against it and I see those types of cartoons more divisive than unifying.
