It reflects a classic (and often true?) racial stereotype:

Black people displaying bitter resentment at white people who work harder at improving themselves while the black people generally do poorly by such measures. (More severe obesity epidemic among American blacks than whites.)

An analogous cartoon could have been a white kid trudging through the snow into a public library with a stack of schoolbooks, while a couple idle black kids stood by bitterly muttering "white kids." It might even be more potent it if were "Asian kids".

Boy everyone is reading the wrong thing into this cartoon. Some posts in this thread are showing what some freepers apparently believe about black people more than what this cartoon is saying.
