Thanks, KIR. Even if we disagree on the cartoon, you are at least "keeping it (the discussion) real".

Bollocks it is. The context of the tennis court and the identifiable outfit make it identifiable as her, shorn of that context, there's nothing in the image to identify her.
It's a caricature, not a portrait. It's also a cartoon conveying a statement about her behavior... so it needs the context, setting, outfit, etc. That said, the head shape and hair are enough (to me, at least) to make it immediately identifiable as her.

You're either blind or full of shit. If you took just the head, you know, the main identifier of a person in caricatures, I guarantee you wouldn't be able to identify her. Even just her basic head shape is completely wrong. But there's no claim too ridiculous when it comes to you standing up for the poor, oppressed white people, right Mike? Blow those whistles!
It's clearly a depiction of Williams, head shape and all.
Doubling down on your bullshit claim doesn't make it any less obviously bullshit.
It's people intent on finding non-existent racism who have to fixate on one feature (her mouth) as 'evidence' of the cartoonists "racist" intent. Ridiculous.
They're right to fixate on that, since it doesn't look anything like her mouth at all, as neither do any of the other features. Looks an awful lot like an old caricature of black people, though. But hey, keep telling us the sky isn't blue and the grass isn't green Mike, I'm sure all those folks you're blowing whistles for are totally on your side.
Says the guy blowing white supremacist dog whistles.
Oooooh I see, you get to make wild-ass claims about the motivations of other people, but when someone makes a claim about yours, no matter how obvious it is, they're just being ridiculous. I know it's trendy for you guys to play the alt-right SJW that hates SJW's, but it's already a pretty tired game.

You're blind, SaM, seeing only what you want to see.
