● Today’s comic by Matt Bors is Two suspicious guys at the latest mass shooting: ● Who will stand up for Chikesia Clemons? Chikesia may be alive, but she has yet to see justice. The public outcry after last week’s Starbucks incident was swift and loud, resulting in national news stories, boycotts of the ubiquitous chain, and an announcement from Starbucks that it will shutter all of its national storefronts on May 29 for racial bias training. But so far, the public response on Chikesia’s behalf has been far more quiet. There’s been less media coverage, and Waffle House has released just a single statement essentially telling us all to “wait and see,” as though the video didn’t show plenty. Will America allow the suffering of Black women to go unchecked, when we are leading the fight for so many others? Want to thank Black women for defeating Roy Moore? For voting against Donald Trump? Protect us. Support us. Demand justice for Chikesia. ● xDidn't you just have a third baby? pic.twitter.com/rU4aftzyGG— Jacob Bacharach (@jakebackpack) April 25, 2018 ● Incels hope to be taken «seriously» following latest woman-hating murder spree. ● Drew Cloud is a well-known expert on student loans.
