Yes, there is prejudice in the world. You will find it within every group, religion, and race. There are always some, but most are good people. Unfortunately, there are many who will scream ‘racism’ against anyone who holds any opinion they don’t agree with.
In my experience racsm/ prejudgism is a primal urge. Often in a lower socio-economic class it is reinforced by competition for available jobs. We saw this in every mass imagration surge in the last couple centuries, Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese and after emancepation.. All came competing for the manuel / low skilled labor adding pressure to those “americans” who were trying to survive / move up. Even skilled jobs had much of the same effects (think the garment district). A lot of the tension between the hispanics and blacks ( yes i know it’s offensive, but so is every other label , and we need to define the term) comes down to jobs, living space, and respect. All people are basically tribal. We befriend people like us, what we don’t relize is that most people are like us. We share the same basic desires, and the same basic fears. Our culture, our upbringing varies dramatically on what is acceptable to affect the desired outcome. Diversity is a good thing, but it is not a goal, it is rather a introduction of new blood into the melting pot. America is essentially an Idea, a shared value system wherein we can all find a place to fit in. Peacefully?

I’ll keep saying this… Neither side shall ever lay claim to the high moral ground.
The state of politics has devolved into a bunch of school children yelling and stomping their feet. It really makes me sad that these so called “adults” refuse to act like adults.
Both sides need a healthy dose of up, as in grow up and shut up.
Why? Simple. They are willing to kill those with whom they disagree. And I might add, as far as I can determine, BLM is not willing to kill over a disagreement. Self defense and aggression are not equal.
Oh Santa, don’t forget those who save their urine in bottles and their feces in brown bags (a pun) so that they can throw them at people in the next demonstration they go to – the antifa.
Damn Wiley, and his patriarchal white Santa. ;)We need equality of coverage for all fantasy characters, put in the Easter bunny, Jesus Christ, and the Prophet (PBUH), oh and Eru Illuvitar, Xenu, Set, Thor.- – - – -On an entirely unconnected point, is Trump trying to start a civil war?Don’t answer now! Wait two years, and we’ll pick apart the pieces.
I have associates who are atheists. I have associates who claim to believe in God but spend their lives living as if God didn’t exist. Of the two, I find it easier to get along with the atheists, if nothing else, they are honest and more often are more moral than the so-called Christians who use their religion to justify some very un-Christian actions.

How about a list of people whose complaints can’t be applied to themselves also (pots/kettles)?

How about new lists with, “Naughty” or “Pretty good most of the time and tries pretty hard”? You wouldn’t like Florida, Santa.

Or Plan C, throw relativism away and use an absolute standard of Naughty and Nice, pushing the world to recognize moral absolutes of right and wrong.

Anyways, I’m with Mrs. Claus. With several inches of snow on the ground I would love to go someplace warm. That’s what I got out of this comic.
