A bald politician stands at a podium addressing a crowd whose fists are raised in anger. Two crowd members shout speech bubbles: "THE PRESIDENT'S A RACIST!" and "BIGOT!" The flustered speaker protests, "NO! WAIT! I SAID CHIGGERS! CHIGGERS!" A caption below the comic reads: "I hate black people and chiggers." The joke is that his attempted clarification (chiggers are biting mites) doesn't undo the slur the crowd reacted to. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of the same bald man's strained face as he digs the hole deeper, saying, "Yes, I hate black people, but not in a racist way."
