A collection of his works titled "Suterisms" is available, though out of print. All of his political cartoons are this kind of image-within-image linos, each implying a story.

Can you list some of them? List one of them? Now, before you start please keep in mind that de facto separation (in which members of races mutually agree to congregate with their own race, such as a congregation of a black Baptist church) is NOT the same as segregation (in which there is some sort of discrimination to keep the races separate). This simple but critical distinction seems to be continuously overlooked by those on the left for some reason. You cannot desegregate something that is not segregated. If you say that Thomas ruled against government policies for forced racial balancing (which sounds rather Orwellian, and I suppose that’s why it’s not used by the left), then I would agree with you. Whether forced racial balancing is a good thing or bad thing is something that can be debated in its own right. However, please don’t misrepresent what the ruling were really about! It belittles the real segregation that actually happened in the country not too long ago. JT wrote that Thomas was “ruling against desegregation and the like time and again.”
