I don't really think this needs a headline.

A rather accurate representation of justice in America.

Exactly.

Perspective.

In America white folks don't riot for justice.

But let their favorite sports team win? Well then it's clearly time to set some cars on fire and kick in a few storefront windows.

Indianapolis Star runs racially insensitive comic, responds to criticism by removing character's mustache, before finally pulling the entire comic and apologizing for it.

Responding to criticism that a cartoon depicting undocumented immigrants coming through a window to share Thanksgiving dinner with a white family was racist, an Indiana newspaper edited out the stereotyped housebreaker’s mustache, ostensibly to make the cartoon seem less racist. 

The Indianapolis Star ran the cartoon by editorial cartoonist Gary Varvel showing a family coming in through the window to share in the holiday meal, with the house owner announcing to his family and guests, “Thanks to the president’s immigration order we’ll be having extra guests this Thanksgiving.”

In the original version up above the male character has a ball cap over his eyes and a rather prominent mustache, which suggest to many a Hispanic stereotype. After being mocked on Twitter the newspaper decided the best course was to remove the offending mustache.

See? All better.

Yeah, except it WASN'T all better and the outrage continued until the executive editor responded with this: 

On Friday, we posted a Gary Varvel cartoon at indystar.com that offended a wide group of readers. 

Many of them labeled it as racist. Gary did not intend to be racially insensitive in his attempt to express his strong views about President Barack Obama's decision to temporarily prevent the deportation of millions of immigrants living and working illegally in the United States. 

But we erred in publishing it.

Gee, ya think?

My favorite part of this story is that they really believed that the mustache was the problem, and not the showing of dark haired, clearly Hispanic, people invading the home of white people uninvited.

Which of course is exactly the kind of thing that fans the flames of racial hatred in this country.

Simply can't catch a break with conservatives.

You know it's true.

Sad, but undeniably true.

We now have some of the best legislators that corporate money can buy, and we as voters allowed it to happen.

Remember folks, you don't get the America you want, you get the America you deserve.

Some food for thought.

Gee does that mean that Sarah Palin WAS right?

How I start every morning.

A little perspective.

Progress, you know you're headed in the right direction when the conservatives are yelling at your to stop.

Don't let this be you.

The conservatives expect us to stay home, the pundits expect us to fail our representatives, and Koch brothers have spent a fortune to convince us that we are wasting our time and the election is already lost to us.

I want to prove all of them wrong.

How about you?

Right Wing radio in a nutshell.

I have also heard that Obama is bringing down unemployment and gas prices.

Definitely time to grab those pitchforks and torches.

You know this is happening.

“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.

You would think that after being on the wrong side of history in the case slavery, women's right to vote, rock and roll, and Obamacare that conservatives would begin to tire of being run over by the wheels of progress.

But you know what they say, if conservatives paid attention to facts, they would be liberals.

Very accurate depiction of how this works in America.

Just one of the reasons that I support Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers' bill to remove the tax exempt status from churches.

If they won't stay out of our politics and public education then they can damn sure pay for the privilege of participating.
