Comic Strip

Recently, we have been dealing with the topic Discrimination. Thus, I chose the topic discrimination for my comic Strip.
Here is the link :
Part 1 :http://www.toondoo.com/privateView.toon?param=qBt7i9%2FUSMbRNutmdkM9mZQPKXzfi%2FPvjAjE%2FvxkGHgHTm7Q4eul1Q%3D%3D
Part 2 : http://www.toondoo.com/cartoon/2725690

The reason I chose this background as it looks pretty high class and it is also not in a rural area. In this type of places, the black americans are usually treated as second class and always discriminated.This background helps to bring out the main theme discrimination.
As you can see, the black americans in this picture, are dressed in workers uniform and also torn and ragged clothing. While the white american is dressed in a business suit and tie. This also helps to bring out the theme discrimination. We can tell from this scene that the white americans get better jobs and better living standards then the black americans, whose job opportunities are limited to workers and labourors.
It is very obvious that the white man got beaten up by the other black men when he insulted a black man who was moving away to let him through. Even though that man was very polite and agreed to move after being called a nigger, the white man still continues to insult the black man. This led to the other black men at the side to feel furious, leading to a fight. Of course, we should not result to fighting, but we should also not insult others just because they are different.
