I love how you seem to have made the cactus double sided, with the left hand side looking like a penis head. One very notable thing I must point out is the fear you have been able to express in the drawing of the man's eyes, and the paleness of his skin clearly just displays how he is scared to the core.
If anything, I think you could improve on the overall flow on the picture- the lighting is in the opposite direction which is slightly distracting with the flow of the picture, and I think that the higher parts of the signature are slightly bland- you could try and improve this by drawing in more people receiving cacti into their rectum, and perhaps by changing the colours of the peoples' skin, you could even produce a work which metaphorically portrays the way slaves may have had their rights oppressed against them, and the negativity of their lives in this point in time.
Overall, it has to be 9/10. I think with what you have so far, all that is missing is a picture frame so I can put it on my wall.
