A comic panel filled with horizontal bands representing skin tones ranging from beige to a dark brown has a white question mark in its center. There is black text above and below this panel reading: "It was still racist... even if you didn't know."
Another comic panel filled with horizontal bands representing skin tones ranging from beige to a dark brown has a white toothy grin at its center. There is black text above and below this panel reading: "It was still racist... even if you meant well."
A third comic panel filled with horizontal bands representing skin tones ranging from beige to a dark brown has a white checkmark at its center. There is black text above and below this panel reading: "It was still racist... even if you thought it was fine."
A fourth comic panel filled with horizontal bands representing skin tones ranging from beige to a dark brown has only black text in its center reading: "If racism was dependent on intent, few people would be complicit. And ignorance wouldn't fuel it."
A fith and final comic panel filled with horizontal bands representing skin tones ranging from beige to a dark brown has only black text in its center reading: "But racism is a system. Its not the sailors, its the whole sea. No matter your intent, you are responsible for your impact in this system."

Intent over Impact. Responsibility over abdication. Growth over fragility.
