Interesting Political Cartoon

[TIGERJC]

Or maybe its just a caricature. Its funny how any time you voice an opinion that is against Obama you are immediately labeled a racist. And people wonder why race relations have devolved during Obama's presidency.

Bullshit. The artist knew what he was drawing. Blacks have been depictive as monkeys for many years in cartoons and other illustration. If the artist cared so much about the issue he would not even go down that road with the drawing of a monkey, just because he had to know most blacks would take offense to it. Also it doesn't help that it comes from the right and then the right wonders why 95% of Blacks never even look to the conservative side even though they share a lot of the same values when it comes to family and church.

The only racism in America is reverse racism. Shit I could be the new Allen West and become the new altar boy for the right.

Should have just done this with your first post as that is all it really is.

Racism is still alive and well in this country. Blacks just refuse to admit they own the other 50% of the problem.

Correct it goes both ways, I never said it didn't.

It is true that Blacks have been depicted as monkeys (inferior to man) for hundreds of years. Surprise you didn't make up a story to say how a black took something away from you with his affirmative action.

And it probably wont stop anytime soon either. Look up caricatures online. You will find the same characteristics in that cartoon that you will find with any other. Larger than normal ears and eyes, elongated face, and oversized head.

Funny you should bring up affirmative action. Maybe you can explain how preferential treatment combats prefferential treatment.

If another person not overly conservative joins in on the discussion I would glad debate this, but why waste time talking to a brick wall. You and Blank can have at it. Maybe you two should come together and come up with solutions and say what the president or maybe the next president should do to better the country instead of just arguing back and forth all the time.

Racism exists, inside and outside the media. It existed in the old days also, and will exist in the future. Our ancestors just were tougher and had a thicker skin. They did what they needed to do, and didn't let other people drag them down. Perhaps there is a lesson in there.

Going back to the Cartoon overall message. Can someone please explain how this administration has added anymore regulation and bureaucracy than the last 3 presidents? The problem I have with Obama that he has not taken care of our financial Achilles heel, which is our banking and investing system. This Country runs off of spending, and consumers have been hammered on all fronts (Food,gas,Luxuries) since 2004. I was against the bailout but understood we had to do it (Global ramification), but the banking system should have paid the price for their mistakes and Clinton decision on getting rid of the Glass–Steagall Act should have been over turned. I really blame Clinton for the state of our economy as he really push this country to produce wealth on wall street instead of actually creating and producing a product which has always been the key to our financial success.

Most of the wealth in this country now is made on wall street and that money is not being spent and on top of that we the consumers are holding back due to wages not keeping up with inflation and with soaring prices for the basic necessities.

Another thing I would love see is the breaking up of large companies that have become monopolies and more tax breaks and incentives for start ups. Businesses competing equals a better product, lower prices, and competitive pay (companies are trying to get the best or keep the employees they have).

LMAOOO WELL EXECUTED +1

I seriously doubt this had anything to do with race. Especially considering that I got it from a computer networking blog. I think the big ears are not to "monkeyfy" him, but to make him appear idiotic/childlike.
