The main visual elements in this cartoon are the black Africa and the white footprint that is all chipped up on it. I think that this cartoon is about the Europeans colonizing Africa and changing its culture, history and practices, leaving a big footprint behind.
I don't that the cartoonist agrees with the idea of colonialism because it is black and white which aren't happy colors and it looks like the Europeans are trampling on Africa without any respect and care. I agree with the cartoonist and that colonialism is bad. I think the cartoonist could have put some blood drops or native signs to make the cartoon more persuading.
