Nice ass! Rather Crumb-like, in fact!

I couldn't figure out if the last frame was meant to reflect the same type of contrition as the first two apologizers to or to contrast with them. After all, he was blaming others instead of himself as the other two had done. If it was the latter, I think he should have shown some clenched mouth anger and bitterness beneath his phony contrition. Just a thought. "Etc." indeed!

Racist talking point #1: black people never get in trouble for what they do.

Racist talking point #2: you ever notice how you always see black people in handcuffs on the news?

But sometimes, having an Anheuser-Busch distributorship to give away also means it's not your fault.
