    Aside from his mutton chops he’s white as fuck.

    Look at his chin. Look at his hands. Forehead. white.

    Edit: for comparison, other political cartoons from the time period.

    (for a little context, 1869 was a period where people were debating reconstruction and other odds and ends, like who has the right to vote, etc. They were absolutely racist fucks. these were just the ones I could reasonable conclude were from 1869-ish. at the top of results for ‘1869 political cartoons’.)

        It would be something like

        “Well, as we all know, the blacks are an inferior race, so it would be detrimental if they had equal standing”

        it would be total bullshit, and probably sound entirely like trump,
