Racism Political Cartoon


The shown political cartoon implies that the Democratic Party tries to obscure the true meaning of a debate by bringing up the issue of racism. For example, the first three panels show an elephant (Republican) winning a chess game against a donkey (Democrat). The aforementioned detail implies that the Democrats are not skilled enough to win a debate against their opposition. The last three panels show the donkey pulling the "race card" out onto the board and declaring itself the winner. This detail says that the Democrats always have "one trick up their sleeve," so to speak, and that they will "cheat" in order to "win" a debate. All-in-all, the political cartoon is saying that the Democrats are willing to break any rules to "win" a debate and gain more power.
