This illustration portrays a political cartoon that was based on what took place in 1956; the Montgomery bus boycott. This cartoon is very ironic because members of the Ku Klux Klan are gossiping about how they are loosing so much money do to the black people boycotting buses and stores. The last box of the illustration shows how they are beginning to get fearful and install fear in others by saying "what would happen if they wanted to share our lunch counters". Bsically, it shows the racism that continues within the clan, even though it has a negative impact on them. As you can see the white people will end up loosing more than anything, money wise.

I do not agree with this cartoon presenting a proposal argument. Read the last slide carefully - it says "share our lunch counters" not "boycott our lunch counters." Basically the cartoon is showing the continuing racism showcased by those represented by the clan. Despite the fact the racism hurts them (cartoon focuses on financial issues), these people continue to worry about something as simple as sharing a lunch room with those of another race.
