It wasn't Barack Obama, yet Al Sharpton and his racist loyalists are saying that's what the New York Post meant when it published this cartoon a few days ago.
Hundreds of them showed up in front of the Post's Manhattan building, with signs in their hands and chants in their voices. They called for the firing of owner Rupert Murdoch and the shutdown of the newspaper, because they alledge, the cartoon is racist.
The protesters were incensed. How dare they compare our black President to a monkey, they wondered. The cartoon plays up on the shooting in Connecticut of a chimpanzee that viciously attacked its owners best friend. But, read the words. "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus package." Obama didn't write the stimulus package. Congress did. It's that simple. Period.
Sweetheart, in matters of "race or racism" in this country, it is never "simple." Perhaps you are in need of a history lesson (youtube.com-black stereoptypes) in order to recognize the Rev. Al's point of view. Isn't it time to stop defending this country's past shameful history that continues to rear its "ugly" head through the media? Today, people (all races) can "see" through the b...s... and can call a "spade a spade" (pun intended.
