Nice try, but this is not suicide. The point of the cartoon is irony. The Klansman is a symbol of racial hatred who historically used lynching as a tool of terror. He is being killed by his own symbol, the Confederate flag. It's a commentary on how hate consumes itself. You're purposely interpreting this as a commentary on suicide. This is like seeing a war movie where a soldier is shot and claiming it's offensive to people who lost a loved one to a school shooting. The method of death is the same, but the context is entirely different.
Shut the fuck up now.
Of course that is what it is. I was making a counter argument. That is what the picture was literally asking for. Maybe it was a rhetorical question, but I answered it. I am sorry I hurt your feelings with that.
Nice try with projection. My feelings are not hurt, I think we all know who's feelings are hurt in this situation.
It's funny how you and yours are so involved with this conversation. I'm curious how that all works, but I'm not going to find out and that's fine.
