What is this world coming to?

theres a huge difference between some "average joe" tossing a racial slur in your direction as opposed to a national newspaper. it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with being sensitive or not.

the bottom line, the cartoon lacks taste in more aspects than just race. the woman attacked (who was a VISITOR and not the owner of the chimp) lost both of her hands, her face is severely disfigured, spent hours in surgery, and is still listed in critical condition...how someone can find the "funny" in that is just beyond me.

Your absolutely right. My post was more directed towards Mr. Sammich's feelings regarding this cartoon not its latent content. What happened to that woman is nothing less than a tragedy and I cant think of any situation where it could produce humor. More so that story drives it away from a racial attack I think. Maybe the cartoon was too straight forward and it threw people off. I find that usually political cartoons have more depth than this one. Given what it is I dont think the person who produced is capable of depth anyway. Oh and on another note about the racism, chimps are apes not monkeys.

Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death
