Please stop. It’s not intentional. Stop basing your judgment on people and actions with an acute view of their skin color. Just see two sets of people. Thanks.
In a world where there is racism, acting like racist themes don’t exist only helps prolong it.
One set of of people here was drawn white (and responsible with a child), the other was drawn black (and irresponsible). That’s worth critiquing, intentional or not.
Acting racist doesn’t mean you are literally Satan, it means you are acting racist. Not stopping after people point it out and acting defensive and in denial is worse than thoughtlessly doing something racist, being told off and then correcting
Would you feel better about this if it was a stock photo of a white woman yeeting their baby rather than using a comic? A comic that the meme maker didn’t create? Should the meme maker recolor the baby and woman white to make things better for you? This isn’t racist because one of the meme images happens to be of black people.

You’re the part of the problem.
