Interesting. The Conversation has a new article entitled “Why virtue signaling isn’t the same as virtue – it actually furthers the partisan divide.” https://theconversation.com/why-virtue-signaling-isnt-the-same-as-virtue-it-actually-furthers-the-partisan-divide-189195 It’s worth some consideration…

How about a magazine like “Mixed Nuts” for, I don’t know, zebras, penguins, peacocks and all other non-monochrome beings (which is probably the majority of beings).

But you can’t have Stevie Wonder without Paul McCartney!

I just checked, Ebony does in fact have many people of different shades. I’m sure Binkly can find what he’s looking for in “Guns and Ammo” or dozens of other mags back then. I’m surprised the cartoonist didn’t know that.

So… somehow Bickley’s request implies racism with one word, but Oliver’s, though very specific and detailed and decidedly exclusionary, somehow doesn’t?

Good lord! It’s a real thing!! I had no idea. At least I think it’s a real thing—can something that has no entry in the Wikipedia be a real thing?

Anyone??

Black only seems as racist as white only to me.

most mags back then were ivory.

Ebony and Ivory? The song, yuck; the idea of racial harmony, yes….

We all know that people are the same wherever you go.
