| White extremists love this cartoonist. Ben Garrison is a far right troll who draws controversial political cartoons targeting progressives. Most of his work is considered racist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic and mean spirited. He claims to be a devout "free speech warrior." |
Have you been on the Reddit or 4Chan websites, lately?
I haven't. But I tend to find these cartoons online from this guy named Ben Garrison. He is the creator of Grrr Graphics, a politically incorrect series of cartoons drawn by him.
If you haven't heard of him, then be blessed you haven't.
Most of the cartoons depict progressives in a negative light. But there are some that I consider to be extremely racist. There are some considered anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, transphobic, and mean-spirited. Some of the cartoons really depict Barack and Michelle Obama extremely negative.
The cartoons depict Barack Obama as a skinny, weak, milquetoast, big eared and goofy leader.
Some of the cartoons depict Donald J. Trump in a bold, confident and muscular fashion.
This white extremist movement known as the alt-right loves the political cartoons being shared online. Garrison is their savior.
Garrison who operates out of Montana was known for drawing Michelle Obama in a dreadful image. His cartoon featured Obama with man shoulders, a bulge in her dress, looking unhappy and drawn as a stereotypical angry Black woman. Standing next to her is Melania Trump, all in a fancy dress holding up a sign saying "Make The First Lady Great Again!"
This gotten a lot of people mad. I and S.B. were really annoyed by this.
Garrison for his part dismisses the critics. He says his works aren't racist.
Wired reported sometime ago that he was a "victim" of a smear campaign by the neo-nazis. Some of his work is similiar to a post I've made back in 2010.
He is given mainstream attention on Infowars.
Alex Jones and his minions add some of his work on the website.
Why am I even giving this guy any more attention?
