This simple cartoon speaks volumes about the media’s tendency to demonize black people and sympathize with white people. Illustrator and graphic novelist Vincent Kao created the image for a political cartoon contest. And while Kao’s work is examining individuals, it also speaks to the contrast between how the media reports on riots over racial tension with mostly black participants vs. riots over sporting events with mostly white participants.
