So Pennsylvania newspaper the Lancaster New Era had quite a bit of explaining to do, after they featured a cartoon that compared airplane seating to slave ships. NewsOne reports: In The Lancaster New Era’s cartoon, a slave ship packed with human beings is shown, with a man quipping, “Must be where the airlines got their idea for passenger seating.” Many readers who saw the cartoon took great offense to the paper’s insensitivity being that the enslavement of Africans lasted at least 300 years and was an institution that looked to strip African people and their descendants of any human rights and dignity. Do you find the comparison to be offensive?
