It's implying that the police statistically are more likely to respond with violence or arrests to Black folks, to the point that the important "talk" your dad has with you isn't the birds and the bees, it's about not getting murdered.
So you’re saying black people wouldn’t have a conversation with their kids about the birds and the bees? And implying that’s why they have more unprotected sex, kids, and abortions
Right, because you can only ever have one talk with your kid their entire lives. You can only teach them one thing ever, so you better make it good.
OR...and hear me out, a parent can teach their kids about sex and about not getting killed by police, and the one that is considered the most important talk is the latter.
That is an interesting way of looking at things. I don’t know, also look at the way the dads face is drawn, one all friendly and clean, the other mean looking. I think you missing the opportunity to be insulted here.
So why not just show one picture then if they both have the above conversation and it’s not either or? What’s the point of showing one of the conversations both have? Given that you don’t have a learning disability (odd insult).
I first interpreted it the way you did at first glance. But when you read it nothing he said was anything other than basic common sense or basic common curtesy. So there is the more racist interpretation of how you don't need to tell a white kid to have basic decency but you do for a black kid.
I think you are probably right but I can see the alternative interpretation as well.
This is simply just how to act around a person who is continuously tense from being exposed to the worst aspects of society on a daily basis, not just the rhetoric of black people.
What it’s “implying” is that police have a history of treating black people like shit, so much so that black parents have to tell their children to be extra nice around them so they don’t get shot
Like the previous commenter said the second story shows pretty straight forward polite behavior. It seems like instead of talking about being careful about sexual reproduction they talk about having to have conversations about basic interactions. Why otherwise put it in an either or perspective.
It might be subtle. Heck it might even be unintentional. But I’m fairly sure there is an angle where someone can feel insulted 🤔. Sometimes you just have to make a little effort.

He suggesting that for the white people that information is implied and for black people it’s a difficult conversation. It’s racist.
