Transcript of Cartoon<\/p>\n

TITLE PANEL
\nFractured-looking letters say “White Lies.” Next to the lettering, a smiling white lady speaks directly to the viewer.
\nLADY: I don’t even see race!<\/p>\n

PANEL 1
\nA smiling white man explains himself.
\nMAN: I was only being FUNNY! I mean, “ironic.”<\/p>\n

PANEL 2
\nA white man stands holding a black woman in front of him. To his left, a white woman stands, hugging a little Asian boy, and holding an Asian baby with her other arm. The boy has an image of Captain America’s iconic shield on his t-shirt.
\nWHITE MAN: I have a Black wife!
\nWHITE WOMAN: I adopted Asian kids!
\nBOTH TOGETHER: So nothing we say could possibly be racist!<\/p>\n

PANEL 3
\nA young white man types at a laptop, his coffee cop besides him. Above him, we can see what he’s typing – a social media comment, with “his” picture, showing a pretty Black woman, besides the comment.
\nHe is typing: As a strong Black woman, I think we Blacks talk too much about racism.<\/p>\n

PANEL 4
\nAn angry white woman, standing near a fence with some giant sunflowers nearby, talks directly to the viewer.
\nWOMANL Only monsters are racist! So criticizing me for racism is calling me a monster! How dare you call me a monster? So uncivil!<\/p>\n

PANEL 5
\nA young white woman, stands in a coffee shop, holding a cup of tea and a saucer.
\nWOMAN: I DEFINITELY have a non-white friend who agrees with me.<\/p>\n

PANEL 6
\nA white woman in slacks and a polo shirt sits on a park bench, reading a newspaper (“Daily Opiate”) and speaking cheerfully to the viewer.
\nWOMAN: My vote for Trump had nothing to do with racism!<\/p>\n

PANEL 7
\nAn older white man, with a friendly demeanor, a big white beard, and a sweater vest, speaks to the viewer.
\nMAN: I can’t be a racist, because I voted for Obama.<\/p>\n

PANEL 8
\nTwo white people stand talking directly to the viewer: A man with a checkerboard shirt, and a woman wearing a sleeveless black shirt. The man, spreading his arms wide, has a angry expression; the woman is holding up one finger like a professor making a point.
\nMAN: When non-whites get ANGRY discussing racism, that proves they’re irrational!
\nWOMAN: And when whites speak calmly, that proves our opinions are super rational!<\/p>\n

PANEL 9
\nA white woman stands on a golf course, holding a golf club across one shoulder. She looks anxious.
\nWOMAN: If “Black Lives Matter,” that means white lives don’t matter!<\/p>\n

PANEL 10
\nAn angry white man is yelling and pointing at a Black woman.
\nMAN: The word “racism” is unfair because it shuts white people up!
\nWOMAN (thought): If only…<\/p>\n

KICKER PANEL
\nIn a small panel below the bottom of the comic strip, an angry white woman speaks directly to the viewers.
\nWOMAN: This cartoon generalizes about white people! That makes IT the REAL racist!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
