Not a bad cartoon at all!
A cartoon depiction of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech that appeared in a Missouri newspaper is being criticized as racist.
The cartoon ran in the Sunday edition of the Southeast Missourian newspaper published in Cape Girardeau, about 115 miles southeast of St. Louis. It depicted King with exaggerated facial features saying, "I have a dream that my four children will one day loot stores in Chicago and call it reparations."
The newspaper, owned by Rust Communications, published a note to readers Thursday by its opinion page management, saying that in response to the cartoon, "The Southeast Missourian has been the recipient of a wave of social media messages, emails and threats."
