      It’s a little opaque but he’s doing a black power salute to the black dude because he has black lung.

        Oh I see, thanks. I thought the doctor took his hair for some reason and the black lung spread to his skin.

    Why is the doctor conjuring up a heart in the third panel

      It looks like it’s supposed to be a single lung. It looks identical to one from frame 2

        I guess you’re right. Bro draws lungs like hearts. But it still begs the question. Why is the doctor conjuring the lung out of thin air.

          I’m not trained in such dark arts so I’m not equipped to answer your follow-up question. Suffice to say, don’t mess with that doctor

      He’s explaining medical stuff. Black lung damages the whole cv. Heart being central.

      Narratively… ya, maybe a poor decision.

    This doesn’t work in Europe where this bullshit fortunately doesnt exist. Yet. But don’t worry, we’ll get there.

    And with bullshit i mean this US versus THEM narrative.

      where in Europe do you think “this” doesn’t exist?

      Europe invented this and shipped it to all other continents

        Now now, the “us vs them” mentality has been around as long as humans have existed.

        Europe industrialized it and shipped it all over the world.

        They just hit turbo mode on the factory floor.

          he wouldn’t call “black power” “this bullshit”. This isn’t Xitter.

            Bro there’s straight up Nazi instances, and people make alts.

            The only alternative is he’s such a goddamn clown he thinks Europe doesn’t have tribalist thought.

      It’s more insidious this side of the Atlantic. At least in countries where non-native* people are commonplace anyway.

      But right across the board the insidiousness takes the form of not caring rather than being outright hateful. So when, as others mention, far-right, definitely hatefully racist, political candidates start being elected, those who vote for them have carried their lack of caring over.

      Those who don’t care don’t discourage racism so it continues to exist. To flourish. I believe that MLK Jr. said that those people are worse than the hateful - he called them “white moderates” - because they stand by and do nothing when they’re greater in number than the actual racists and could actually do something about it.

      * Yes, I know “native” is a problematic word, but I don’t want to have to unpick that for the sake of this comment.
