An artist has drawn The Simpsons as black in response to the shooting of an African-American teenager.
In one image, a black Bart is held at gunpoint by the shows police chief Clarence Clancy Wiggum, as a sign reading I have a dream is seen in the background, covered by a red censored stamp.
In another set of images, Clancy and the Statue of Liberty wear the infamous conical hats of the Ku Klux Klan.
In one particularly disturbing sketch, Palombo invokes the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by drawing Bart dead, face-down on the floor besides a toy gun. A billboard reads Cops never sleep.
