"I guess they thought we were chimpanzees," Al Sharpton said, of this topical cartoon appearing in the New York Post. "They will find out we are lions."Oh. My. God.
Listen, guys. I've bought into the politically correct nonsense as much as I can but THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
This is a cartoon referencing a chimpanzee who clawed some dim woman's face off (it's been front page news across America), suggesting that the psychotic animal was also responsible for writing the much derided Economic Stimulus bill.
The fact that Al Sharpton immediately appeared, objecting to the image of a monkey being used in a cartoon referencing President Obama (who just happens to be black, which apparently makes him 'monkeyish'), says more about Al Sharpton than it does about the New York Post.
A century ago, black people were called 'monkeys' by bigots and racists. However, today isn't a century ago - and the editors of the New York Post were presumably colorblind enough not to have even considered that people would be stupid enough to think that the New York Post was calling Obama a 'monkey' because he was black.
The fact that Al Sharpton would even sink to that level is disgusting. YES, there is racism at work here, but Al Sharpton's the racist one. Al Sharpton's the one who connected a newsworthy chimp with the president of the United States. He manufactured this 'racist' outrage.
Let's face it - the New York Post is a liberal paper. It's readers are liberal. It's published in New York, probably the most liberal and least racist state in the Union. Al Sharpton's ire is just... it's just...
It's just f*!king retarded!
God, what a ridiculous, stupid waste of time this is. What a disgusting self-publicist Al Sharpton is. Jesus, how many innocent victims must this racist bastard hurl under the bus in order to win himself more column inches?
How much longer must he perpetuate racist imagery in order to keep his manufactured outrage alive?
Al Sharpton and his supporters do more to keep racism alive than anybody else.
A lot of non-racist people at the New York Post, who never even considered race when they published this response to Obama's stimulus package, are being targeted by Al Sharpton and his 'politically correct' mafia in order to further their political agenda. He doesn't care whether they were actually racist or not. He doesn't care about anything or anybody unless it serves his purpose.
Al Sharpton does everything he can to foster racism and keep racism alive because without it, everything that keeps him relevant in 21st century America evaporates.

Obama is a great president. His presence is impacting grants like no other president prior. Grant funding for minorities and middle class have increased nearly 10,000% in the past week.

Obama's New Grants

Largest Grant Amounts in History!
Something else that should be noted... Obama did not author the stimulus package... Nancy Pelosi did.
I never saw a racist view in that comic honestly.
What I took out of it was that anyone, including a monkey, could have drafted the stimulus package.
Some people just need to pull their heads out of their respective hind quarters.
Agree with the article you wrote. The cartoon wasn't racist, and I would object to the banning of satire of political parties because it is seen to be racist. Their lies the road to repression. I wouldn't call the New York Post Liberal though. I have a mate that writes for it so I read it fairly often even though I'm British and on the other side of the Atlantic.
Apparently, some people have forgotten that subtle racism still exists. We are so evolved that we think that people could not be so blatant. Good for you ostriches, that's what subtle racist want you to think...that the past is the past. Wake up and smell...somethin'
We're not ostriches, Anonymous. When the general population has ceased to identify things in terms of racial stereotypes, people like you pointing them out and kicking up a fuss actually PERPETUATES the racism, instead of eliminating it.
How can society become colorblind if people like you keep telling us that things are racist when they're not?
