…but I see this as racist.
This cartoon, drawn by Ed Gamble, appeared in the Jacksonville Times-Union nearly two weeks ago. It is glaringly obvious that Gamble knows nothing about which he speaks or this would not have come of as clumsily as it did.
Perhaps the most disrespectful part is seeing the word “ho” being used to refer to a black girl on the pages of a city newspaper.
The editor of the newspaper, Mike Clark, said he regrets not editing out the word. He stated that, by the word being there, it offended law-abiding Jacksonville citizen and did simply focus on the “rise” of the stop-snitching culture (personal note: just because you are just now paying attention to it does not indicate a “rise” in a certain thing).
Like I stated, I’ll leave it to others to draw their own conclusions…

It is racist, and he’s a jackass for drawing it.
Of course, the responses in their comment section are even more ignorant.
