The purpose of the cartoon was to “create a rape scare, demonize and humiliate Black men and women, spread a violent white supremacist ideology and reclaim the North Carolina Legislature for the Democratic Party,” which circulated widely in eastern North Carolina.

In 1943 in Los Angeles, roving gangs of U.S. servicemen attacked and stripped Mexican Americans they spotted wearing Zoot suits. The two young men on the ground were victims; many were arrested and jailed. The Zoot Suit Riots were a series of racial attacks in Los Angeles, California, launched by white servicemen and civilians against Mexican Americans in zoot suits. The attackers thought wearing zoot suits was unpatriotic, given that the U.S. was engaged in World War II.
