  • Double standards all around! Another funny thing though, is that the white controlled media will push these stories out of all the others so that blacks will be the ones that look selfish and one sided. The fault lies with everyone.

  • That monkey looks more like Sharpton than Obama; maybe that's why he so mad.

  • Well you know Darwin's theory of evolution says that "niggers" descended from monkeys too, so why did this get them all jumping about it? now if they depicted a white monkey you think they would get all mad at that? Who knows?

  • @RacistBait

    It was about FRANCIS THE CHIMP!

    These idiots are just too stupid to realize it!

    It's amazing, ANY criticism of Obama automatically becomes "racist" no matter what!

    If they criticize him bailing out wall street? RACIST!

    About Solyndra scandal? RACIST!

    About Michelle taking 60 people to Spain on taxpayer-funded trips? RACIST!

    The fucking libotard-media is having an all-expenses paid guilt-trip on the American sheeple.

  • This is exactly why some ppl hate blacks! I don't but some do. Blacks all try to feel that anything is racist if it is rude.

    "When we said a monkey could run our country better we were kidding"

    But I like Obama, kinda, well he is better than if McCain was our president.

  • @hughesn0835

    The race-card is the lifeblood of American politics, ever since the Lincoln administration, because it started using race as a carte blanche, sayign that anyone who didn't like government murdering, pillaging and destroying, was just a RACIST.

    So now anyone who stands up for the Constitution, is shouted down as a racist who's pro-slavery etc.

    It goes WAY deeper than just blacks--it's the ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S base of power.

  • HOLD THE FUCK ON

    blacks are from africa just like monkeys, they have the same type hair, dark skin, same dense blood shot look in their eyes, same flat wide noses, bitty little ears, they go ballistic over anything that remotely upsets them, it's all fact, so what's up?

  • I love obama , sorry about the cartoon, i love black woman, they have a nice body. i think black man deserve how white peoples treated them bad, because they give respect to no body , they always rob and beat up asian and latino for no reason , just for fun .the white man never do that dirty thing . so who is the good guy white or black?? black man have done alot of bad thing that make people fear of u , so where is the black leader it 's time to make up ,tell your peoples do good things

  • Fuck everybody who thinks that shit is funny!!

  • world is crazy... looking for that one day when blacks will develop sense of humor and satire (not that the cartoon would be much funny).

  • How come they only asked black people their thoughts on the cartoon? People make fun of every U.S president from Washington to Bush and the second someone posts this shit about Obama they get called racists

  • LOL

  • this is the dumbest shit ever. black people need to stop searching so damn hard for racism wherever they go. obviously it's not all black people. but come on. this was just a stunt to keep Al Sharpton's waning career relevant. and most of the random people they asked about the cartoon probably don't even read the NY Post which always has scathing critiques of government decisions. the fact that anyone gave Sharpton time with a mic and cameras makes me lose faith in the human race.

  • OMG people are so funny and Naive, the illuminati are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • al sharpton can kiss my white ass!

  • IT ISN'T A MONKEY IT'S AN APE!

  • These people are retarded.

  • i said it..fuck the white

  • so your saying fuck a whole race for somthing one white pseon did?

  • Sharpton is racist towards white people. I bet if it was a cartoon depicting something to do with white people getting shot those niggers would be laughing and al sharpton wouldnt say shit

  • What a moron... sharpton is directly responsible for the murder of Jews in NYC, and the New York Post is being divisive!

  • If Bush is compared to a chimp, everybody thinks it is funny, but if Obama is depicted as a chimp, all these Afro's get mad. I don't get it.

  • @laurens890 Double standard.

  • @laurens890 Considering African Americans are depicted as monkeys. Don't act stupid.

  • @DoctorSweetness

    Yeah well wolves attack people too, that doesn't mean the boy can cry wolf all he wants when there isn't one.

    This cartoon is about the cops shooting Francis the Chimp, saying that the stimulus bill is stupid that he must have written it.

    Only fools would think it was racist... and so they did!

    So it's kind of an IQ test.

  • @laurens890 Maybe it is because in order for a remark to be cruel it has to be true.

  • @LS164

    And in order to be credible, a person can't make false alarms like El Sharptongue.

    This was obviously a parody of the cops shooting Francis the Chimp after he tore a lady's face off; so if they call it racist, then they must be simply too stupid to get the joke!

    In "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry does skits where blacks always claim racism and call him a bigot for any joke he does -- here I see it's truth in television!

  • Comment removed

  • al sharpton calling anybody a racists is like charlesmanson calling ted bundy a cold- hearted killer!

  • THIS IS NOT RACIST. This is the NAACP getting bored. The entire congress and administration is about as competent as a bunch of chimps. SHAME ON EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO STILL THINK BLACK PEOPLE LOOK LIKE MONKEYS AND THAT PEOPLE STILL TRY AND MAKE THAT JOKE.

  • c'mon guys, life's too short to get hung up on some stupid shit like that. racism against minorities wrong, "reverse-racism" is hypocritical and wrong too. i think the the reason "reverse-racism" is openly tolerated by some is because it isn't tied in with generations of violence and oppression that plagues this country's history.

    the thing is, that was part of our HISTORY, so it does not have to be part of our present and future...

    so basically, everyone chill the fuck out and smoke a J

  • Do you want to see Obama get PAYBACK on Rupert Murdock, the NY Post, and this Racist Cartoon?!!!

    Then just click on my username...

    It's a hilarious video that will make you feel good about this pathetic situation...(Only 2 minutes long)

    Enjoy...

  • Wow... This is why it shouldn't be illegal to kiss someone A**. People have gotten away with murdering Black Men in words, images and in Real Life. One day you will have to give an account for every idol word.

    I want to be there when you have to kneel and confess!

  • DUMB NIGGERS....damn you NIGGERS are just so touching...THE MEANING was that even a chimp can rite the bill thats how bad it is...it had nothing to doing with OBAMA...but...scince theres no white cops to fuck with latly and NO NIGGER WOMEN are pretending to be raped ...I guess he will have to wine about a cartoon...OH and to navawrong...you say hes always 100% correct...I got to words for you TAWANA BRAWLEY YOU STIPD FUCKEN NIGGER!!!...NIGGERS ARE SO FILTHY!!!!

  • i love AL SHARTON, i love how he articulates his views. & he's always 100% right

  • This cartoon was not a racist attack at Obama. Those who believe it was obviously don't follow current events. They will keep up their whining because they only see what they want to see. It was a slam at the US government in general and cleverly tied in the recent bizarre chimpanzee attack in Connecticut. TheNY Post should stand strong! Boycotting the "watchdogs" is a stupid move. Let 'em! Wake up people. Stop the hate! Peace. bc

  • Just because something is deemed offensive or racist by the majority of the people does not mean it is illegal. The Constitution protects all freedom of speach/expression. To protest, boycott, etc. are legal expressions of disapproval. It is the same deal with the Muslim issue; just because it offends DOES NOT MEAN the government can legally use its power to censor or shut down the free press. Why should anyone be surprised anyways? This is the Information Age deal with it.

  • right wing extremists like the Neo-con's are laughing that the community is putting its time, efforts and money into this because it diverts attention away from the real issues like Why americans are not in the streets about $350 billion of tax payers money from the bank bail-out plan was used to pay executive bonuses. That money could have been used to save the lives of thousands of people, disproportionately blacks, who are going to die in the US because they don't have health insurance.

  • seriously, im losing brain cells over this contoversey. does racism exist in america? sure. Is it baad? sure. Is this racism? NO. i love the guy saying this is the president dont u have any respect? im sure he respected bush. if there was a white president in office, and the same cartoon came out, everyone would be laughing right now. u epople made it racist. and sharpton can seriously suck my balls. He is just opportunist preying on peoples emotions for power. im disgusted by him

  • bush and obama both look a bit like chimps

  • IT IS RACIST!

  • Cartoon refers to Obama or not It clearly incites people for violence. I think cartoon definitely refers to Obama.

    Do you remember , there was another cartoon from NY Post about Obama, Michelle terrorist fist bump ? NY Post racism against Obama is nothing new. They are traitors to this country , they are inciting people for violence against a elected American President.

  • U R pathetic it is nothing but a waste of time to respond to a sad person as yourself. u have no concept of the real history of this country nor of Black peoples and since you brought up slavery--ur ancestors were the most vile creatures to walk america--they were rapist and pedaphiles--how many of your ancestors raped little 9, 10,11 y-old black girls. Only the red man can lay claim to this land and I dont have time to go into what your ancestors did to them--pwt

  • Black people are always blowing things out of proportion and always crying "poor me". Aren't they tired of being the weak pawn? They are unaware of who they are, ie. negro,colored, black, african-american and need Sharpton to tell them what to think, act and say. It is a sad race.

  • To totally dismiss the subliminal significance of that cartoon show your apparent ignorance to this county's racist history(present). You obviously are one of "those" who hate to hear Black people be anything other than estatic about race relations. You and your kind desire for Blacks to "stay in their proper place." I have the article, not a copy or something I saw on FOX news. Anyone with half a brain can see the message. Unfortunately that discludes you from the subject. YOU need to wake up!

  • i believe a blacks proper place is wherever they want but they never seem to want to leave AssholeAmerica. They just want to complain until they are kissed on their feet and ass all day because of their ancestors slavery.. Sorry but if u don't like it go live somewhere were blacks are the majority.

  • God bless ya!!! No white guilt here.

  • Loathe that we put the ape into the cage. But, age is the source of the animal's rage. The beast is not evil, not even a man. But, it can do damage ten times what man can. Obama's a man, not as strong as the beast. We must help him before he becomes the ape's feast.

  • A misread leaving blood on the hands of the New York Post. This might have been a bad call or it might have been racist, but for the sake of peace and sanity, give the artist and the paper benefit of the doubt here. I don't like all of the things the New York Post spews but I think this situation is being blown out of proportion as it always does when Al Sharpton shows up for the cameras. Don Imus, anyone? Let the 1st amendment do it's job. and let Al Sharpton find a real cause to support.

  • Comment removed

  • wow cant do anything without it being called racism get over it the monkey is not obama he didnt even right the bill it means whoever wrote the bill is like a monkey stupid, its not making fun of obama its making fun of the person who wrote the bill stop seeing racism in everything.

  • I say all blacks join the terrorist in the fight against European oppression of all nations! LETS REVOLT! BEHEAD THEM STARTING WITH THE R ACIST!

  • Bush was called a chimp for 8 years and now Obama can't be called a chimp??? LOL

    Get real, Obama is the president. All presidents have to take shit, be it Bush, be it Clinton, be it Reagan, be it Carter. GET THE HINT????

    OBAMA IS A BIG EARED CHIMPANZEE!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

  • Maybe someone should post Nick Berg pictures and say hey, The Middle East wants to Kill the enemy not America! ummm then we'll see what they say!

  • BOYCOTT the New York Post!!!!

    Keep up the fight!

  • Comment removed

  • Tranzcendenz-who eva you are-- its seems like u dont think before you write-no one said he wrote the bill- whatever it is- it is racist and if u are educated about the past and the present- you would clearly see that- catch a wake up- it seems like you are in the dark ages!!!

  • its insulting on so many levels and if you cant see why its insulting.. get educated. this type of racism is definitely for ignorant uneducated idiots who dont know what respect means, you would think that in this day people think before they speak write or think...

  • adwoakwayisi: Who "writes" the bills? It's NOT the President--it's Congress. The cartoon CLEARLY states, "writes." Only an uneducated idiot would think that the President would write a bill.

  • You're to brainwashed to see this had nothing to do with the Messiah.

    Obviously, you have a lot of white guilt.

  • damn annoying white conservative american bastards. makes me want to go to nyc and kick the shit out of the cunt who gave the green light to this.

  • I hate to say it but this time AL SHARPTON IS RIGHT. See, Lizabanana85, If another white president was compared to a cracker, that would be RACIST. That is the same equivalent of comparing Obama to a monkey. The N.Y. post knew exactly what they were doing and just used a sorry excuse for an explanation. I bet that if someone instead of Al sharpton confronted this, more people woudn't be so ignorant to ignore the truth.

  • bigdumbassg4: Who "writes" the bills? It's NOT the President--it's Congress. The cartoon CLEARLY states, "writes." Only an uneducated idiot would think that the President would write a bill. The cartoon has NOTHING to do with Obama.

  • when i looked at the picture i was like, "jee Obama doesnt look like a monkey, and black person had to tell me that black people look like monkies, well ya know what i think BLAck people make them selves inferior, by whining about everything being racsis. U call me a white girl ima call u a black girl, u call me a cracker, ima call you a nigger, and if u feel offended well blame it on urselvesbecause they use the N word all the time i guess it aint that badthey just want to abuse what ever power

  • OK, the cartoon wasn't racist at all. First of all the monkey doesn't depict Obama. Obama did NOT WRITE the stimulus bill people! He signed it. People like Pelosi and Obey wrote the bill not Obama, so if the monkey depicts anyone it depicts the Democratic Senate and Congress and the two WHITE people at it's center. The cartoon was also playing on a current event, the chimp that attacked the Conneticut woman the other day and was shot and killed.

  • Comment removed

  • The only racist here is Al Sharpton. I dont understand why anyone would give this sleezebag TV time.

  • the united states is not ready for a president who cannot be criticized. Obama cannot be criticized because he is black. apparently

  • you're right

  • Remember the Danish cartoon crisis? anybody? This is a cartoon in a far right wing paper owned by the fox news guy, look through it any day and you're likely to be offended by something in it. There's an old story that says given an infinite amount of time, an infinite number of monkeys could write shakespeare, same idea as this cartoon, just one chimp.

  • I agree, that made fun of bush in comdey centrain Little Bush, what now even if the media makes fun of Obama, its called rasisim, get the fuck out of here, black people , u guys make ur selfs sound ignorant. We all voted for Obama, hellooo, 70 percent of people in the USA are white, what racsim are u talking about, move on, u whining babies, jeez sick of this BS

  • Al Sharpton.. why dont u get a real job, u didnt even like Mr. Obama. U siad, " i would like to punch him." or didja forget...

  • A-MEN!!!

    Al Sharpton is a fucking whiner. He doesn't know racism at all. Racism is not knowing the difference between a black guy and a N*****.

    Racism is hate and ignorance. Here I see dislike and symbolism.

    Did the strip say anything about black people?

    Same shit with Don Imus! What does crazy hair have to do with black people again?

    I can understand the Hoes remark, but Nappy? COME ON!

    Now they are looking for reasons to bitch. Remember the Resident Evil 5 trailer?

  • I don't like Sharpton either but he never said that he wanted to punch Obama. I think you have him confused with Jesse Jackson. Sharpton was thankfully absent during the Obama campaign. Oh and some advice...Don't ever say "nigger" to a black person while they're within arm's reach:) Safety tip.

  • How come they can say nigger to me? but i can't say it to them. Safety tip stop trying to act like u know everything or i will personally Chris Brown Ur Ass!

  • Ah the empty net threat. Classy.

  • so what black people can make fun of white people but we cant do it to them cuz they think their infrior or something, fine, always be slaves to ur past never move foward. Wake up idiots, U been slaves even in Africa, who do u think sold u guys to the europeans, ur people, and If u ever go back to the mother land u will see black people owning slaves.

  • Careful, don't say slave! They'll call you racist, even though you never said anything racist!

    I'm not racist, I'm pissed of this double standard.

    They hold on to the slave stuff, and never let go. It's the damn race card dealt from the bottom of the deck!

    Why are they able to give us the evil white man stereotype, and we can't say shit about them?

    Why do we have to call them African Americans because "Black" is offensive, and "White" is just fine?

  • 'black' churches, 'black' college funds, the 'black' caucasus, the 'black' leaders. Just a few of the many other 'black' titles heard daily.

    Name one legitimate organization that needs to color code itself as 'white'.

    'White' churches? 'White' college funds. 'White caucuses? How bout 'the 'white' leaders?

    As for the term 'African American',seems 'blacks' want it three ways.

    Are they 'African','American' or are they 'black'?

    If we want unity...drop the color codes.

    I'm sick of it

  • I'm pissed that instead of studying on the greek philosophers, the rennaisance, or mesopotamian civilization, we have to sulk on the injustice of slavery.

    Also Black History month. WHAT DID THEY DO? Let's be blunt here, other than civil rights, what did they do? Where's Asian History Month? Arab History month? Any other ethnicity history month?

    They even explained it was an analogy and parody of a current event with the chimpanzee. SHOULDN'T THAT BE THE END OF IT?

  • Go do some BLACK HISTORY studying. Ever heard of the inventor of the light bulb, the traffic light, etc. Unlike the greek philosophers, the rennaisance or the mesopotamian civilization, African Americans still exits; and so does RACISM!!! That's why it doesn't end!!!

  • Inventing the light bulb? Thomas Edison was black?

    Idiot.

    So you are saying historical success, and ideas that can prevent another holocaust is less important than us bitching about an issue that will never end?

    It's like a bunch of people bitching about any instance of poverty. It's not going to end, stop acting like you can. I hate racism as much as poverty, but most of us have already dropped it.

  • Now you know how African Americans felt for 400 years!!!! what would you do????

  • get over it!

  • jeeze, if u want to be an equal u do not need to act all sensitive, and dont always belittle urself just cuz ur black.. damm only in the States..

  • Good ol Al Sharpton to the rescue! I don't find anything wrong with the cartoon. Doesn't Al Sharpton have anything better to do with his free time? What a dick!

  • NOT RACIST

  • Who's Obama?

  • This is racist period. I don't care for Al Sharpton either but racist is racist. Disagreeing with the package is one thing. But putting a gorilla up as representation of all black people is something else. Let somebody do a parody like this involving a Jewish person. Then it's not acceptable anymore and people are getting fired. But against someone black it's ok.

  • hahahaha

  • Too bad the cartoon isn't even about the President. It is a representation of the way the bill was written and passed through the House and Senate.

    Last time I checked, Congress wrote the bill. Those invoking racism and President Obama only see things in black and white, and that is their problem.

    They only see a dead monkey = old racism = black president.

    They don't' care about the Congress reference or the Connecticut reference. It's tunnel vision and dangerous...

  • don't get me wrong, this is very wrong and should not have been published or ever drawn, but public disrespect of our president is nothing new....how about comedy central's tv show LITTLE BUSH....that was blatantly making fun of bush and even members of his family and cabinet

  • i think they should have the freedom to post what ever they want even if its mest up

  • Actually, I thought it was pretty fucced up that he got a shoe thrown at him. Regardless of whether I liked him or not he was still our President and it shouldn't have happened. Jokes are fine. I am all for jokes and laugher; especially during these trying times. But this is distasteful. Even if someone actually believed it was aimed at Pelosi and Congress, and not Obama it's still wrong.

  • Sharpton is a race baiting POS he needs his ass kicked...

  • It's a FREE COUNTRY, did you see what they did to President Bush?

  • A lrite lets clear this up, The monkey is Washington, not black people, the police officer shot the monkey because it wasn't doing its job correctly, because George bush's job was so easy a monkey could do it.

  • woah...i must admit it is very offensive

  • Al Sharpton doesnt give a crap about that cartoon he just tries to act offended so ppl will listen to him talk.

  • It's called freedom of the press... grow up.

    If you can't handle it, there's a nice country called China you can go to. Trust me, they won't let that AD slip through there.

    It disgusts me how people have no tolerance for others who don't share their same opinion.

  • i agree

  • at best, it was inappropriate as hell. in fairness, bush was animorphed as a monkey too. but i think given obama's race identification & the historical context, it was even more thoughtless. bad move ny post. bad move

  • So Obama can't be called a chimp but it's OK to call Bush a chimp for the past 8 years and counting? Are you fucking serious? OBAMA IS A CHIMP, OK?!?!

  • i didn't say "obama can't be called a chimp but bush can be". in fact, i acknowledged the fact that bush was in past satires. i said "given the historical context of racial perojoratives in this country & obama's race, this was thoughtless. learn to read. about that, i'm QUITE serious

  • I can read just fine and you're still wrong. You're a hypocrite and Obama is a chimp.

  • had you read, you wouldn't have made such a conclusion. especially given the fact that i spelled it out plainly. i'm not wrong about the stereotype of black people being portrayed as monkeys either. but ultimately, obama isn't a chimp. he's the 44th president of these here united states. he's a doctor of jurisprudence. he's a 2-time ivy league grad. he's a husband. he's a father. he's a brother. he's a human being just like you.

  • You're still wrong. You seem very insecure about yourself. Obama is a chimp.

  • i'm not sure how you scan "insecure" but you're allowed to believe whatever you want. but mr obama is the most powerful man in the world. you can call him or me whatever you want but i doubt you even come close to me in terms of achievement; let alone that man. hell, you can't even read

  • I can come to the conclusion by your long winded replies that have no humor what so ever. Obama is a chimp and you shouldn't worry about other people's accomplishments. Worry about your lack of.

  • Wow how could someone let that go through................

    What morons.
