‘Crucifixion’ Cartoon
Once again, Conrad has spilled poison ink on his sketch pad; this time depicting Tom Bradley as Jesus Christ, facing crucifixion presumably by Jews, upset with Bradley’s lack of enthusiasm for denouncing Farrakhan.
Mr. Conrad, suppose for a minute that the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan visited Los Angeles and a white mayor refused to criticize him. Blacks and Jews would join the protest. Would you depict that hypothetical white mayor as a victim, or (more likely) would you pen him in klansman’s robes, about to put a match to a cross, saying “I promised the white leaders I wouldn’t say anything?”
