Not. At. All.

[The Ninja]

Are you sure?

You don't think it could have been drawn with the slightest racist intentions?

[TheProfiteer]

um, they are just saying a monkey wrote the stimulus bill.

[Init2winit]

Is it racism, or bigotry?

[redrumracer]

nope

[EJ25RUN]

It might have been drawn with no racist intent by the original artist should have been smart enough to realize how quickly it would have been misconstruded.

Almost like he planned it just for the publicity.

As I said in the thread about this in the politics forum, it was meant to be right on the line. It was supposed to be controversial so the artist would get the publicity and therefore more copies of the paper would sell. No one was calling Obama a monkey, he didnt even write the bill. It was written by Pelosi and company.

How about we talk about the fact that Obama isnt even really black...
Your skin color has nothing to do with how you think - the way you grew up does.

But the black population is so happy that a man with "black" skin is president. Its just nonsense in my opinion.

racist..............no..................stupid.... ....................yes. These people are smart enough to realize that even if their intentions weren't aimed for obama that they would be misconstrued by the likes of sharpton and his band of idiots. I think they thought it was funny relating to the whole rabid monkey incident. Someone warned them that this would be taken wrong, they ignored that and are now feeling the heat. Not everything is based on racism, everything is scrutinized for its racial content though, and anyone with half a brain attempting to avoid drama should realize that.

as close as u can get to racist without actually inferring it. Since it just so happens to be in conjunction to another story...

[Brian*]

is this a trick question... LOL

Sure isnt and hasnt been that simple since he's run and became President. Everyone called him "black." He isnt totally or even a majority of his racial background is black. Yet he is considered black to all.

I don't care about the shit personally. I don't think its racist and if people would stop fcking misinterpreting (sp) things as being racist, maybe we can move away from having to deal with racism? I mean, c'mon, who cares? Me personally I'd rather spend more time making sure my daughter wiped all the shit off of her ass rather than worrying about some dumb cartoon. WTF happened to Freedom of speech even if it was intended towards Obama or anyone black?

George Bush was portrayed as a monkey SEVERAL times. So....it must be a racist attack on...white people?

George Bush also said, "Fuck you niggas, I'm out of here."

[FlipKing]

George Bush hated black people, True story. Just ask Kanye

[AnthonyF]

black entertainment television


where's IET? HUH? where's WET? HUH? where's NAET? HUH? where's HET? HUH? didn't think so. proved point.

no one should be hurt by this cartoon. i've seen george bush many times as a monkey. from evolution theory, we all were monkeys once. so stop hating.

like whorechik said, it's freedom of speech.

I'm from NYC and I know how the Post get down, it was intended to cut along racial lines however you want to put it. If you look at the picture it haves a beware of the dogs sign attached to the lamp pole. Why would a sign like that be on a light pole and your just drawing a skit? It telling the readers about the 60's and the dogs that were used to attack and control black people. What about the poor lady in the hospital that is fighting for her life, no regards to her or her family?

For your information check out KOR-T.V what that all about?
Russian T.V? How about T.V Japan? or old school Univision which have programs for the spanish speaking people?
It's funny how alot of people who did all the atrocities to others seems to like to push everything under the rug, but the people that was oppressed aren't suppose to call them out on anything? :no: So should the Jews ever get up in arms about anything done or said against them?

It does make sense, why is there a sign that says BEWARE OF THE DOG on the lamp pole? Even though Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reeves so called wrote the bill, the bill gets put on the President not them. When it fails they don't blame them two. They blame him because he's the one in charged. Like Bush name is attached to the Iraq war,the state of the economy that were in. It's not the republicans or the dems. legacy that got tarnished it's Mr.Bush. We also know there's a lot of people that want President Obama to fail,be killed, why did gun sales in the south go up after he won?

[Atlblkz06]

Ok so its racist. Now what? Riots? lol...
