What's weird here is that if you removed the text and graphics, it'd just be a wholesome picture of two people kissing. The man isn't the kind of horrible caricature I would expect from this sort of thing
Yet it is heavily playing (or at least trying to play) with racist and antisemitic phobias and tropes. The kind of "the jews and leftists are ruining our country, would you now proceed to beating them up, please" propaganda that we've seen since late 19th century all over Europe and which peaked after 1933 in Germany and is raising its ugly head all over the world from time to time.
This may be from a time when interracial marriage was a hot button issue. If you want to agitate against that, you need to make white guys fear black guys that their daughters, sisters, crushes could actually fall in love with. The fear being played on isn't "a black guy could fuck a white woman", the fear is "somebody from my family could bring a black guy for thanksgiving dinner year after year".

I know, but usually they draw the non-white people in their propaganda as completely inhuman monstrosities. I was merely commenting on the art
Got that and point taken.
