Interesting they made the bible guy black
Definitely supposed to be white. They drew black people a little different back then.
They... didn't? Those are some impressive mutton chops, though.
Bro is definitely not supposed to be a Black dude. Lips are too small, he's not coal black, doesn't have crazy eyes, or isn't disheveled. Black people weren't drawn with as much dignity, not even allowed near schools-- at least enough to preach the Bible to a bunch of white kids.
Yeah this meme is racist and nationalist and terrible actually
1, uncle sam is a gross villain, the united states is a slave empire on stolen lands (good luck with that)
2, associating curly hair and dark skin and a big nose with "religion" is a racist attitude whether you intend it to literally be a cartoon of a person of African / Island descent or not, direct association isn't the whole problem there
3, if you think this meme is timeless you are probably getting suckered by other sneaky rightwing shit on here, who is posting it? wow, 7 or 8 accounts?
