Remember that at this time the union movement was demonized because it was largely made up of immigrant workers...(who's grandchildren are now railing against Mexicans 'taking their jobs')

@antieverything1 If you read Settler by J Sakai, it makes the case that the grandparents were railing against racial minorities taking the jobs as well.

This is an anti-IWW cartoon. The black cat is a symbol of the IWW, not your "house negro", dumbass.

The culture of the time must have been different, maybe. B/c as you point out, it's hard not to sympathize with the chickens.
This clip is from "Alice's Egg Plant" (1925). As mentioned elsewhere, it was produced by that union-loving mogul, Walt Disney. And that's not Sabo-cat, but "Julius," who bore more than a passing resemblence to another cartoon star of the day, Felix the Cat.
