Talka says: Way too much of the Prophet Muhammed cartoon were only insults for insults sake. What's the purpose in that? What do you hope to accomplish? Well it seems the staff at Charlie Hebdo can put out socially relevant cartoons too. Maybe they should try and stick with that?
Below are cartoons drawn over the past several decades by Cabu, one of the most emblematic cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo (if not the most). Cabu was murdered along with his colleagues this past week. He was 75 years old.
Although no media outlet in the US will show you these images, they can all be found online with a simple Google search.
This cartoon by Cabu criticizes racial profiling, specifically discrimination by the French police against immigrants from North Africa and people of African descent. The caption reads: "No to racist controls [identity checks]."
This cartoon by Cabu depicts and quotes the racist demagogue politician Jean-Marie Le Pen of the Front National party (with the eye patch). The caption reads: "We want to be able to go out in the evening without being afraid." The armed thugs in the background are racist skinheads and their ilk. The cartoon leaves little doubt as to who is afraid.
