I don’t like this strip. There seems to be a tendency in black sitcoms and comic strips to find some way to belittle the white character by having him/her say something not quite right. I remember one sitcom with a white cop who would say, “Right off” when he meant “Right On” like this strips “throw up” instead of the correct, “throw down”. Maybe I’m just too sensitive, but I think racism come is all forms.
