This lovely takedown of Robert Johnson is a classic of the genre, one I studied incessantly when I was sharpening my own sword. On y va. Chait argues that I've conflated Paul Ryan's view of black poverty with Barack Obama's. ​Arguing that poor black people are not "holding up their end of the bargain," or that they are in need of moral instruction is an old and dubious tradition in America. The liberal version of the cultural argument points to "a tangle of pathologies" haunting black America born of oppression. The argument is that structural conditions shape culture, and culture, in turn, can take on a life of its own independent of the forces that created it. The "structural conditions" Chait outlines above can be summed up under the phrase "white supremacy." There certainly is no era more oppressive for black people than their 250 years of enslavement in this country.

"Educate consumers, don't engage in Prohibition!" This isn't about "controlling" or "feeling superior to" other people. 19 Mar/13 I tried to post this last week, but my server kept choking for some reason. A couple of these drawings were purloined from a series of illustrations I was doing for the Austin Chronicle. I was particularly enamored with the trade show booth of an established HR company called TriNet. 6 Mar/13 I'll be attending my first SXSW soon, with the Interactive portion providing the impetus for this strip. While I was working on this, I came across this interesting NYTimes article about the folly of thinking apps will solve all our problems; hence the third panel of this strip. 27 Feb/13 20 Feb/13 13 Feb/13
